I was attending a education rally in Sacramento, California where President Al Gore had been speaking. When the news came that the first nuke had exploded, the Secret Service exploded into action bringing the President to McClellan AFB. He demanded that he be briefed along the entire way, and was already calling the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) when the second bomb exploded. Few remember that before the election, no one ever figured Gore would become a war president.....
