INT. WHITE HOUSE SITUATION ROOM—AFTERNOON

DONALD
Who was involved? Why the stadium?

Arnold
We aren’t sure who is involved. My guess is a INTERNATIONAL terrorist group?

Aaron
What do we know?

President Jones walks into the room and everyone stands?

Jones
At ease gentlemen!

Everyone sits down in his or her seats.

Jones
What do we know?
Blake
Approximately half an hour ago a team of unknown terrorists placed several packages of C-4 explosive at Freedom Stadium in Los Angeles.
JONES
HOW MANY CASUALTIES?
MARC
I believe I can answer that?
JONES
Who are you?
BLAKE
Mr. President this is Marc Gomez; he is the special assistant to the Director of The Terrorism Task Organization.
MARC
43,000 killed and 1,000 injured. This was caused due to a sell-out game. The TTO currently have no leads on the supsects. So far no terrorists have laid claim to this attack. We are still monitoring radio, TV, and Internet.
JONES
What are strike options?
BLAKE
(POINTING TO A COMPUTER MONITOR)
Right now, we don’t know who is responsible! However we guess one of our top three enemies, either Russia, Iran, or Afghanistan.

BLAKE
In Russia, I suggest we bomb their military intelligence facilities and Nuclear Facilities.
JONES
What is the number of casualties?
BLAKE
15,000 including women, children, and men.
JONES
What is option number 2?
BLAKE
Option number 2 is a covert ops mission into the Afghanistan and Pakistan Border. This area is home to terrorist leader Abu Ghalini. AKA “The Prince”. This covert team will capture or kill “The Prince”.
BLAKE
Depending on number of terrorists hiding, approximately only 300 casualties, including terrorists. No innocent lives would be lost due to the location of the terrorist camp.
Jones
Excellent, What is our other option?
BLAKE
Option number three is very risky. It involves hiring some local Iranian people to participate in the overthrowing of the iranian government. I personally am sick how the Iranian government is ignoring the terrorism in their country.

JONES
Regardless of whoever carried out this attack I say we go with option 2.
PRESIDENT JONES TOSSES THE FOLDER OF OPTION 2 IN FRONT OF BLAKE.
JONES
How soon can you have a team together?
BLAKE
Within 72 hours sir!
JONES
Excellent, you all are dismissed!
EVERYONE BEGINS TO WALK OUT OF THE ROOM.
