Further in the MEMCON:

"OK, I found the problem. Seems the reg on warning shots was written by someone less than proficient in English--it says "fire a warning shot into its bow" instead of "across its bow."

"Look, sonny, the grownups have work to do. Changing the reg will be done as soon as we have time. What's that? When? Try 2037 or so. Toodles."

Even further down the MEMCON:

"Yeah, and next time, tell the Iraqi foreign minister that even IF the warning shot takes out their lead T-72, that is NO REASON to start taking shots at American troops!"

...

Another MEMCON:
"Tell those guys from 1st Armored that they did a nice job on those Republican Guard tanks... keep it up."

Works for me (ROFLMAO).

"fire a warning shot into its bow"

"Mr. Worf....Fire."
