Transcription of film scene removed from this post:
(available on video here:    • Dr. Strangelove - Precious Bodily Fluids  )

[General Ripper]

Mandrake, do you recall what Clemenceau once said about war?

[Captain Mandrake]

No, I don't think I do, sir.

[General Ripper]

He said war was too important to be left to the generals.

When he said that 50 years ago, he might have been right.

But today, war is too important to be left to politicians.

They have neither the time, the training nor the inclination for strategic thought.

I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
