Somewhere here in the

[MISSILES FIRING]

♪

My fellow Americans, yesterday,
I addressed you from this office

with a promise to hunt
down those behind the bomb

that exploded at Brandt Metro Station

and killed six federal agents.

We have identified the Emirate of Kunami

as the country responsible.

Accordingly, at 7:52 p.m. last night,

I authorized missile
strikes on strategic targets

throughout Kunami.

Those strikes will continue

until the Emir surrenders
unconditionally.

This is where he has to sell it.

- He will.
- He better.

When the Capitol was
bombed, I swore an oath

to protect this country
against further aggression.

The dirty bomb was a declaration
of war by a foreign nation,

and it is a war this country will win.

God bless you, and God bless
these United States of America.

Mr. President, Tricia's here to see you.

Tricia.

Sir. [CHUCKLES]

Is this your first
time in the Oval Office?

- Yes, sir.
- Please.

I try to make a habit

of meeting everybody on
the White House staff,

so long for us to say hello.

It's no problem at all, Mr. President.

Thanks for reaching out.

Mike tells me that you have a
brother in the special forces.

Please thank him and your
family for their service.

[CHUCKLES] Thank you, sir.

He'll be very pleased when I tell him.

Hopefully, sooner than later.

Yes, sir.

I just wanted to take a moment,

so that, uh, I could
put a face to the name.

Mr. President, may I tell you something

about my brother before I go?

Please.

He finished his third
tour six months ago.

It was supposed to be his
last, but he re-enlisted.

You want to know why?

Of course.

Because of you.

He said you always
saw a mission through.

And that mission now
is making America safer.

has always expressed

his willingness to talk with Kunami.

We have been waiting on
indications from the Emir

that he'll agree to our terms.

Yes, but at this point, I

Seth, I'd like to say
a few words, if I may.

Of course, sir. Ladies and
gentlemen, the president.

Thank you. Please.

I would like to take this moment

to make my position perfectly
clear to the American people.

I have had colleagues...

Colleagues whom I deeply respect...

Ask me to conciliate to end this war

in an effort to protect
American soldiers

and end the further loss
of innocent civilian life.

Their instincts are noble.

But war...

war is not noble.

It is brutal.

And as a country that
has just been attacked,

I think we need to answer

with an unwavering
commitment to victory.

The Emir will be defeated.

Or he will surrender unconditionally.

But in my heart, I honestly believe

that there is only one way to respond

to people or nations
who seek to destroy us...

And that is without compromise.

we can tie him to Ambassador

on the domestic front.

We attacked Kunami based
on faulty intelligence...

The best available
intelligence we had at the time.

Yes, but it was our
rationale for going to war.

And if the Emir was being set up,

we need a justification.
And we need it fast.

Respondeat superior.

My Latin's a little rusty.

It's a common-law concept.

It means, "Let the master

answer for the sins of his subordinate."

Now, Ambassador Salimi

attacked the United States...

The Emir's responsible for the actions

of his high-ranking deputy.

defenses destroyed

we can chopper troops into
the capital by nightfall
