Al Gore Event- 9/11
And here we... go. The start of some big changes...
A Day To Remember
The famous Twin Towers before the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks
September 11, 2001 was a day that would be remembered in the minds of many Americans and the world in general. On that day, airplanes were hijacked by several members of the terrorist group Al-Queda in an attempt to crash them into several important landmarks of American culture. However, intelligence reports obtained by the Gore Administration and the previous Clinton Administration had warned them of potential terrorist attacks and had increased security along with the presence of air marshalls. However, the Gore administration did run into some trouble with some of the Chiefs of Staff in regards to this. However, in retrospect, many look at Al Gore's movements toward them to have saved countless lives.
The plan was to hijack four American Airline planes and crash into the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and the White House, according to one of the captured members over on September 11, 2001 in the morning. Unfortunately for them, the increased security and intelligence by Al Gore led to difficulties within the plan. While some of the members would end up being caught, they refused to admit to anything until after the attacks happened. However, with the plan now ruined, some improvised. One attempted to knock both the Twin Towers out with one plan, but they ended up grazing the top of both of them in trying to hit both. Additionally, the different direction meant they ended up crashing into the water once the crew took control. Another flight did succeed in hitting the Pentagon while one last one was veered off course by the brave passangers, though the pilot had gotten hold of the plane enough to make a safe landing. While the Twin Towers were damaged from the top, the rapid response and the grazing meant that the towers were fundamentally stable though many lives were still lost.
Al Gore did not know what he would do that day when he was thinking it prior. But now he had to address the nation. To everyone, the stoic Al Gore suddenly appeared more serious. His stony demeanor appeared chiseled and unbreakable in this time of crisis. His manner of speaking, often teased for being boring had the tone of a quiet and competanant professional. Some pundits even referred to the manner as remiscent of Theodore Roosevelt's famous adage of "speak softly and carry a big stick." And now it would seem, these terrorists would indeed, get one thorough beating with the stick. No one would mock Al Gore in this time as he worked to unite and hold the nation together. Many of them, united by tragedy, and the world sympathetic to them, would go and achieve what was needed.
The next several days were spent interrogating and getting information from the captured and plans would be made to attack Al-Queda and their leader, Osama Bin-Laden while he was still in Afghanistan. However, there were divisions within the military as some wanted to boost more national security. In a sly power move though, Al Gore would get his additional numbers in, a powerful force to go in and take out Al-Queda. But the key to it was that many of them happened to be members suspected of or possibly confirmed to be homosexual. Given how they were likely to be let go because of the violation of "Don't Ask Don't Tell," he decided to use presidential authority to have them take the mission and serve the nation. It was a bit of a gamble, but if it would succeed in capturing the terrorists alongside with making it easier to repeal that, then so be it. Many of the brave men and women who had long had to hide their sexuality felt elated to be personall addressed by the President and perhaps felt a greater sense of urgency to not let him nor the nation down.
However, the seeds were planted for events beyond the control. Among the numbers and information reported, the undercurrents that most of these men were all from Saudi Arabia, a supposed ally of the Untied States, had left a strange and bitter taste in their mouth. While perhaps it was an open secret on how Arabia under the House of Saud could be, some have begun speculating that the rot that some have feared against them is coming to light...
