2007
President Bush is woken up at around 3 in the mourning. He is told a US spy plane has been shot over Iran. It also appears that Iran is mobilizing their air force and has been put on high alert. Bush orders all US military forces to go on DefCon worldwide and US troops in Iraq to go on high alert. He calls British PM Tony Blair about what is going on in the Middle East.
It is unclear on what happened next. Soon shooting started on the Iraq-Iran border. Both the US and Iran moves more troops into the area and soon its a bloodbath. Iran has had more weapons in the area and was prepared for this. The US suffered heavy losses.
Around 7 in the mourning, the public is now aware with CNN, FOX, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, BBC, and Al Jazerra covering live coverage. The UN declares an emergency ceasefire as diplomats from both countries discuss by phone though the Swiss Embassy.
Fighting stops around 3 in the afternoon, the fighting only last about 12 hours. But the US has around 300 KIA and another 300 wounded. It is one of the worst losses in US military history. Iran has gained a huge moral victory by defeating the ''Great Satan''. In the US, the public and congress are furious. Even more so when a leaked memo shows that Vice President Cheney demanded that they launch a full invasion of Iran.
The heavy loss is horrible for the weak economy. Within days, the stock market crashes like the Titanic. The Down Jones goes down over 2000 points causing the worst economic disaster since the Great Depression.
Democrats now control both houses of congress and want Bush to pay. They refuse to Bush. Without government help, the economy crashes even more. It is now called the Second Great Depression and spreads around the world. Most of the blame goes to the GOP.
