Chapter 133 (1/2)
”Mister President, we need now more than ever the Saudi Arabia support to resolve the crisis in Yemen, that's why our department forbid any black ops operation to be conduct on their soil. The consequence would be to dire for us if it were to happen.” The Secretary of State, Carolynn Crown warn.
The US needed the local and political support the Saudi Arabia was providing to operate in Yemen, without it they could not go in as easily and will have to spend billions of dollars to relocate one of their fleet in the Mediterranean. That much spending will never be approved by the congress. And more, the US need to keep good relation with the Saudi's for other reasons than the crisis ongoing in Yemen, Oil as an exemple.
”Then what? If we can't go in to save Robert Lyndon and we can't pay to get him back, what are we going to do? And just for you to know, nothing is not a viable answer.” The President say, making eye contact with each people present in the room.
”Maybe ask the Saudi Arabia government to cooperate with us in bringing down a terrorist organization and get back Robert Lyndon in the process? Trying to be diplomatic about it?” The Secretary of Defense, Matthew Pills propose.
”Yeah, right.” The Secretary of State snorted. ”You really believe they are going to recognize that their country harbor terrorist and then accept to make a conjoint force with us to deal with it? They never done it in the past and they are not going to do it now.”
”She's right, they will never go for it even if we bribe every official in the country. Any others ideas?” The President butt in.
Looking at each member of his cabinet in turn waiting for an answer, the President finally sighed.
”Alright, I need every intel that we've got about the ”Crooked Moon” organization and Khalid Rahal character in the next forty five minutes.” The President order, looking at his Secretary of Defense and the Director of the NSA.
The two mans in question exchange a stare before turning back to the President.
”Can I ask why, sir?” The Secretary of Defense ask prudently.
”Since no one in this room can provide me with a solution, I'm going to find someone who will and before you ask, no. You can't ask who this person is. Just give me the information I ask.”
”At your command Mister President.” The man answer respectfully, he knew to back down when the situation demand it.
