'"Nice morning, Mr McGarry," as he passed through a corridor, an office, another office, a corridor, an office, five corridors, an office, a corridor, an office, a corridor, two offices, a corridor and two more offices, before settling behind his desk 3 minutes and 26 seconds later,' noted the Philadelphia Inquirer. 'He has 12 separate conversations, and 133 people pass in and out of the picture. That's more extras than populate some series in a whole season.'

Favorite West Wing character? Favorite West Wing scene?

It's tough to pick a favorite character from The West Wing because I really liked so many of the main people. I guess if I was forced to choose, it would be Leo McGarry. Josh and Toby aren't too far behind, but John Spencer was always incredible and I loved Leo.

Favorite scene? It's pretty impossible for me to pick anything other than President Bartlet yelling at God and then cursing him in Latin inside the church in "Two Cathedrals". That's such an incredible few minutes that I actually remember where I was when I watched it live. Honorable mention to Leo and Admiral Fitzwallace in the Situation Room in "We Killed Yamamoto". John Amos knocks it out of the park in that scene: "You're talking to me about international laws? The laws of nature don't even apply here! I've been a soldier for thirty-eight years and I've found an enemy I can kill. He can't cancel Sharif's trip, Leo, you've got to tell him he can't cancel it."

https://www.wsj.com/articles/israel-must-can-and-will-win-hamas-defeat-rafah-war-gaza-22e9a19d

By: Ophir Falk

Published: Mar 14, 2024

Jerusalem -- Mounting international pressure to end the war won’t weaken Israel’s resolve to accomplish its mission of destroying Hamas, freeing the hostages and guaranteeing that Gaza will never pose a threat to Israel again. Detractors dismiss total victory as implausible, but the facts on the ground indicate otherwise.

Israel has already dismantled 18 of Hamas’s 24 battalions, incapacitated more than 21,500 Hamas terrorists—about two-thirds of its force, including two of the top four leaders—and destroyed significant terror tunnels. By contrast, it took U.S. military forces nine months to take out 5,000 ISIS fighters in Mosul.

John Spencer, chairman of urban warfare studies at West Point, described Israel’s achievements as “unprecedented,” especially given the complex combat conditions above and below ground. Mr. Spencer says that Israel is setting the “gold standard” for avoiding civilian casualties.

Israel doesn’t need prompting to provide humanitarian aid or to act with caution. According to retired British Col. Richard Kemp, the average combatant-to-civilian death ratio in Gaza is about 1 to 1.5. This is astonishing since, according to the United Nations, the average combatant-to-civilian death ratio in urban warfare has been 1 to 9. Israel seeks to minimize civilian casualties, while Hamas seeks to maximize civilian casualties and use them as a propaganda tool. We cannot let Hamas’s strategy pay off.

Hamas has four terror brigades in Rafah. That city is Hamas’s last stronghold, and its defeat is a prerequisite for victory. Whoever pressures Israel to refrain from entering Rafah is preventing the destruction of Hamas and the freeing of Israel and Gazan civilians from Hamas’s stranglehold. Gen. David Petraeus, who led the 2007 American surge in Iraq, said last week that the “key now is to not stop until Hamas is fully destroyed.”

Asking Israel to stop the war now is akin to telling the Allies to stop halfway to Berlin in World War II. If Hamas isn’t eradicated, genocidal terrorists will continue to emerge. As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told new Israel Defense Forces cadets last week, “when we defeat the murderers of October 7, we are preventing the next 9/11.” Global leaders should take note.

High-intensity combat will wind down after Rafah, humanitarian aid will no longer be hijacked by Hamas, and safety for civilians can be realized. Total victory is within reach. Israel will finish the job. Anything less will endanger the rest of the civilized world.

the average combatant-to-civilian death ratio in Gaza is about 1 to 1.5. ... the average combatant-to-civilian death ratio in urban warfare has been 1 to 9.

The Palestinian "genocide," ladies and gentlemen. The lowest combatant-to-civilian ratio of any urban warfare.

I’m sorry, but I can’t get over Leo’s ‘Watch this.’ at the end of “Two Cathedrals”. Something about that moment hits so much harder than the entirety of Jed’s speech in the church to me.

Martin Sheen, John Spencer, Allison Janney and Dulé Hill were filmed on a tarmac at Dulles Airport. However, the plane they emerge from wasn't Air Force One but Virgin Atlantic complete with a painting on its side that was digitally removed in the editing room and replaced by a presidential seal. So, if they couldn't get Air Force One, why drag the cast from California to Washington? 'The actors' teeth wouldn't chatter as convincingly,' Thomas Schlamme told Entertainment Weekly.

EDIT: By popular demand, I've restocked the shop with all 16 designs. Available in 12 x 16" or 18" x 24". Get them here and thanks for all the kind words!

My 16 retro posters inspired by episodes of The West Wing, plus two variant versions of "Two Cathedrals" and "Bartlet for America". Should I design and release more of these prints? Some are still available in the shop for anyone interested.
