Ambition, politics, men; red lips, hips, strippers; champagne, whiskey, war.

Adapted from a real person, the lines are very subtle, a bunch of big stars complement each other, and the excellent work of a political movie leaves a lot of room for thinking. It's really a blessing in disguise. I just don't know why the score is so low, because of the main theme. . .

Cravely: I'm sorry but you can hardly blame the director for questioning the loyalty to America of people that are barely Americans in the first place.
Gust Avrakotos: Yeah, well, I'd like to take a moment to review the several ways in which you're a douchebag.
Cravely: Get the fuck out of my office before I end your career, asshole!
Gust Avrakotos: Yes, sir!
[to the maintenance guy fixing the window]
Gust Avrakotos: Yeah, my friend, I'm gonna need you for a second.
[smashes the window]
Cravely: [shouting] Goddamn it!
Gust Avrakotos: My loyalty? For 24 years people have been trying to kill me. People who know how. Now, do you think that's because my dad was a Greek soda pop maker? Or do you think it's because Im an American spy? Go fuck yourself, you fucking child!

President Zia: I don't need courtesy. I need airplanes, guns and money.
Charlie Wilson: Well, we just doubled the CIA's budget for covert ops.
Brigadier Rashid: From five million to ten million.
Charlie Wilson: That's right!
Colonel Mahmood: Is that a joke?
Charlie Wilson: No!
Brigadier Rashid: Is that meant to be a funny joke?
Charlie Wilson: No sir!
President Zia: Congressman, what they are saying is that ten million dollars from the United States to fight the Russian army is such a low figure that it can be mistaken for a joke.
Charlie Wilson: I... I caught on to the sarcasm, sir.
