People had dismissed the reports, nobody believed it was possible. But believe me, I knew from my life that nothing was impossible, only inconcievable. I was never going to be a president that ignored threats or kicked problems down the road. I had seen too many Americans die needlessly in terror attacks, crime and war. I wasn’t going to let anyone take advantage of America any longer. I knew the only too real possibility of a terrorist attack in the near future, and it was my duty to protect America.
So I got my generals, my people all in one room and I said “let’s stop wasting time.” I said, “we need to take action, and we need to take it fast”.
