00:00First of all, I'm not going to comment about what the U.S. may or may not do militarily,
00:04nor am I going to be up here and broadcast that any decision in that regard has been made.
00:08I think the President's observation is the United States remains the most highly capable military power on Earth.
00:14We can achieve military objectives if we seek to.
00:17He hasn't made a decision. I have no announcement in that regard with you today,
00:20and nor do we take any of it lightly.
00:21The President prefers not to do it that way.
00:23If he did, he would have done it weeks ago and months ago.
00:26He'd prefer to solve it diplomatically.
00:27But I think what the President expresses to you is incredible confidence
00:31that if we needed to do something militarily, we would have the ability to do it.
