This record is extremely sensitive. No further copies should be made. It should be shown only to those with a genuine need to know its contents.
Pres: Tony, it’s nice to see you again. Did you have a good trip?
PM: Yes George, Thanks. We were expecting a bit of rough weather but it was all right.
Pres:Well, I’d like to say to start with that we appreciate your help in Fallujah but that Al Jazeera’s reporting is altogether too vicious, inaccurate and inexcusable.
PM: I’ve noticed but what can you do. They have people on the ground.
Pres: I know, we’ve been trying to take them out but they are harder to get than the bad guys.
PM: The thing is that we should be able to pinpoint them from their satellite communications and take them out.
Pres: We’ve tried and have taken out two of their com units while they were reporting but they know we are after them and stay well away while they are uploading.
PM: Hard to get so?
Pres: We can hit them at home.
PM: Where?
Pres: We are going for their HQ in Doha. That’ll stop them for a while.
PM: How do you mean? Jam their output?
Pres: No. Bomb the shit out of them with bunker busters
