Reagan: Gentlemen, the two of you have done nothing but embarass me with your squabbling over the nuclear warning shot. I want this settled once and for all! Does NATO have a demonstration blast scenario or not? Caspar? Weinberger: Absolutely not, sir. In fact, we may not even have the capability. Given the delicacy of this kind of deployment, the technical apsects are very worrisome. Frankly, I'm not persuaded we could deliver such a weapon on time and on target. Reagan: Hmmm... what do you think, Al? Haig: Mr. President, I like to thin Hiroshima speaks for itself.
