My favorite political movie scene: "Why is the President in China?"

"Trade relations."

"Exactly. It's got nothing to do with the B-3 Bomber."

"There is no B-3 Bomber"

"You're God damned right, and I don't know how these rumors get started."

Who can name it?

On edit: I looked and now know it's not Dr. Strangelove. But I think I will watch it again, it's been a while.

the only thing that I hated about it was the Republicans accusing Bill Clinton of wagging the dog in 1998 when he tried to get Bin Laden.

Clinton was more interested in getting Bin Laden in 1998 than Bush was after 9/11.
