If you traveled through those steel doors you could enter the
brand new Oval office inside the White House that only a hand full of people
know about. The tense Navy Admiral was resting his legs sitting in front of the
security desk outside of the Oval office waiting to see the President.
The President had sounded the General Quarters Alarm so now the
Admiral sits killing time at three in the morning.
As he waits the President walks out of the Oval office and a
sudden hush falls over the room of waiting officials, directors and of course
Admiral Ji Hon of the Chinese Navy.
Like waiting for a quarterback to call the signals Admiral Ji Hon
needed orders before he could put his finger on the button.
The wheels of the Presidents brain were whirling swiftly as she
directed her secretary to assembly the "UST" team at once and have
them report to the Oval office. The Uncle Sam Team.
The President handed her secretary the small phone key that would
unlock the communications switchboard allowing her to reach out beyond the
White House grounds and security.
Willingly the secretary accepted the key and unlocked the secure
communications system.
The Capitol city of the United States had been under attack for
the last thirty three days, discharges of car bombs, terrorists running around
like Indians and now the Chinese navy was called in to help break the stalemate.
Hillary was having a rough year. Hard Choices at three o'clock in
the morning, but what does it matter now?
