How are we going to continue running Government with charm offensives? The latest Charm offensive is now this one. Although in any system of Government when something happens which is a failure of Government, the person at the head of that particular institution – this is a normal practice in democratic societies – takes responsibility. How many failures have we had in security over the last couple of months or in the last two years? These same people were there. If their resignation were to occur, they should have occurred then. If it does not occur and these issues keep on accumulating, then I am sorry. We go back to J. Edgar Hoover who said that the buck must stop somewhere. If these things have been accumulating over time, then the buck must stop with the Commander-in-Chief of all the Defence Forces. This is because if these same people were responsible, then they should have resigned when those first tragedies occurred. You do not accumulate them to the extent that they become almost destructive and then you tell them to go away. He will tell you: “Mr. Commander, I was right here with you when those things occurred. Why did you not ask me to resign?” We must be honest with ourselves. I am sorry that it is a great responsibility to be a Head of State. I do not envy those people who have the ambition to be Heads of States. However, once you are there, you must face the reality. You must realise that the kitchen is very hot."
