Finally, the president breaks the silence. “Based on the information presented, I think that Iran is trying to put us in a compromising situation. Realizing how much we value life, it’s entirely possible that they may think we’d rather negotiate rather than have our homeland attacked.” The president stops, considers, then continues, almost painfully. “As president, I am bound by the Constitution to protect its shores and its people. However, not at the mercy of people who have no or very little regard for human life.”
The president gets to his feet and faces the group squarely. His voice grows more strident with every word he utters. “Let me make one thing clear. This nation will never go down in defeat. If we must endure being attacked, our casualties will harden us to continue the fight and take it where it belongs. If Iran thinks it can attack this nation, Iran is going to learn a lesson it most probably does not expect. We are going to war as of right now. Admiral Smith and General Bradley, are you able to have your forces deployed where and as we have previously discussed?”
