As the former head of the C.I.A., you knew about this place. When were you planning on informing the rest of us? It had been deemed classified. You should have told us about this when they first arrived. You should have warned us before we launched a counterattack that cost us the lives of hundreds of American pilots! There was no way we could have known that our fighters would have been that ineffective against their attackers. Mr. President. Commander #2: The little bit of information that we have comes directly into this room, Mr. President. Atlanta, Chicago, and Philadelphia... destroyed. We've learned that NATO and Western Allied Installations were the first to be taken out. Then we were hit. They knew exactly where and how to hit us. Whitmore: And our forces? General Grey: We're down to 15%. If you calculate the time it takes to destroy a city and move on, we're looking at the worldwide destruction of every major city... in the next 36 hours. We're being exterminated.

Research, development-- Oh, honey, I was happy where I was. Haven't you ever wanted to be part of something special? I was part of something special.
