You have no idea what actions are being contemplated by the President, if action is taken. Yet, you claim to know how many casualties there will be. I'm afraid I can't take you all that seriously on this. At this point, no actions will be taken.

We can discuss it again if there are actions taken, OK? Until then, it's not of any real value. You know no more than I do, so your predictions are relatively worthless at this time. I'm making no predictions, you see.
