Keith Carradine: President Conrad Dalton

Quotes 

• Prime Minister Khoosat : There's not an incursion. It's a simple rescue mission of our plane's crew.

  Elizabeth McCord : A column of tanks and heavy artillery is hardly a simple rescue mission. You DO know that we have satellites.

  [tartly] 

  Elizabeth McCord : We have a front row seat, featuring a perfect view of your nuclear bomb.

  Prime Minister Khoosat : I don't know what you're talking about.

  Elizabeth McCord : You need to get your military to stand down.

  [stands up looking down at him in silence] 

  Prime Minister Khoosat : Does Prime Minister Verma know?

  Prime Minister Jaya Verma : [cut to simultaneous meeting]  You must be kidding!

  President Conrad Dalton : Prime Minister Verma, there are three things I never kid about. God, taxes, and nuclear bombs. Now you need to call your generals and tell them to hold they're fire.
