do you? You know, don't you, that I can get control your pensions... I can make them bigger (wink, wink, nod, nod), or... well, you get the idea, right? After all, you're all smart guys or you'd never have made general.
If that doesn't do it for you, you know I can control what names get on the national intelligence "enemies lists"... by the way, Paul, how's the grandkids doing? Do they fly often? Oh, and John, how about your son serving in the Army here in the states? How's he doing? Has he ever visited a desert climate for his allergies? I'm just sure I could help! By the way, the President sends his greetings... He wanted me to tell you that he'd appreciate a show of support. The V.P. says "hi" as well and suggested I commend you on how dedicated you all are to your families! Especially you Anthony, I hear you call your daughter every day! It's especially interesting, some of the things you've told her, you know, those... well, classified details. We all know you didn't mean any harm. And you, Peter, all those hours on the phone with your sons and grandkids; commendable... and don't you worry, the IRS doesn't need to know about the "gifts" you've been giving them, though you might want to tell them that they're supposed to have reported such large sums. Not to worry on that other thing either; the FBI doesn't consider it their business if you happen to frequent prostitutes. Oh, I forgot to ask, how's the wife?
Yes, you're all smart fellows... I'm just sure you'll all reconsider your positions. I look forward to your next press releases and television appearances! I'm glad we had a chance to talk. I find it's always so helpful to really communicate. When people really achieve an understanding there's no need for threats or unpleasantness. It's been my pleasure to share with you today.
