Testimonials

While Woods creeps away to take the call, Kanin tells the President they are at a dead end, and need to start the withdrawal ASAP. Tim hears the word "withdrawal" and immediately thinks they are talking about him, so he comes back over to the desk. Once he realizes they aren't gossiping, merely discussing the terrorism business, Woods inform the president he's been forwarded a scrambled, untraceable call from Colonel Dubaku, which Madame Prez agrees to take. Colonel Dubaku tells her he is "disappointed" in her and thought she would have taken him more seriously. She assures him that "very serious" conversations have been taking place about the withdrawal. Anytime someone says they'll take something into serious consideration, the answer is always "no." Duh. Dubaku knows this, so he tells her the time for discussion is over and the deadline has passed.

He tells her to go to the window and look Southwest, to see what she has done. The handiwork he is referring to is a post-collision explosion in the sky of those two aircraft he re-routed. She calls him a "son of a bitch", and he informs her that his demands must be complied with within an hour, or 10,000 more Americans will die. She looks like she wants to cry, but sucks it up and asks Kanin if the cabinet is still assembled. When he informs her it is, she walks out to meet them purposefully, as we cut to break. And I'm officially blocked. There's just no way to make a joke out of something like two planes colliding mid-air. Trust me, I tried!

This is all I got...

After a five minute power walk down to the cabinet room, Tim Woods informs the president the collision included a commercial flight with 240 passengers and 10 crew members. The other plane was a private flight with 21 passengers, which ups our Death Count to 273 for this hour alone! Wow. Then, Woods is handed a memo which he shares with the gang stating that Congressman Brighten and his wife were likely aboard the commercial flight. This seems to REALLY upset everyone in the room. He must've been in the same political party. It's bad enough that 271 innocent people died, but in the world of DC Political bloodsports, the loss of a single ally is, as Donald Trump would say, a 'YOOGE loss! This is enough to get Joe Stevens on the Pansy-Pants "withdrawal from Sangala" bandwagon once again.

The President wants to hear what Tim Woods has to say on the matter. He informs the President that they are unprepared to deal with another attack, especially if they target power grids or nuclear facilities. It could lead to casualties in the hundreds of thousands. Joe Stevens chimes in again that they are risking everything to help Sangala and the mission is futile without Matobo anyway. The President thinks about it for, ooooh maybe 30 seconds and then insists that, while a chance of recovering Matobo exists, she will not give in. This lady president sure does have a Cisco Adler-sized set of balls!

A Lady with Balls!
