Woolsey and General Landry in “Unfinished Business”

The IOA is considering bringing the Atlantis ZPM to Earth, for use in the Antarctic Earth defense system.

Even if we had a ship, it would take a minimum of three weeks for the ZPM to get here. And there's no guarantee the Ancient weapons platform in Antarctica would be any more effective against the Ori ships than what we've already thrown at them. As usual, the IOA is wasting their breath. You know, if I had the salaries they pay those idiot blowhard politicians to put into my budget... I'm sorry, did I say that out loud?
