insurgency elements in already occupied lands are in the process of vast and
imminent preparedness.
I expect within twelve to twenty-four hours we are going to see a massive
offensive directed against us across the board.
In addition, I was just able to confirm reports of major uprising in many of
the more fundamental towns and cities of Iraq, Syria, and Iran. There has been
significant damage to infrastructure that had been repaired and there is
significant loss of life amongst relief workers and some allied forces that
have been isolated in the attacks.
Given this, and given the positioning of enemy military forces engaged with
our forces at the front, their generally weak defensive posturing, and their
logistical situation, I find all of this extraordinary. I can t believe that
it is a coincidence that this is occurring at this time, in conjunction with
these biological attacks.
The President considered his good friend's words. For many years, while John
Bowers had himself been a junior officer in the military, Jeremy Stone had
been a General Officer, ultimately rising to be the
Chairman of the Army and then the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs& now he was John
Bowers own choice for the Secretary of Defense. The President had tremendous
respect for Stone's military knowledge, his intuition and his wisdom.
Have our forces deal harshly with the uprisings in Iraq, Iran and Syria,
Jeremy. In areas where
Ruthless
Sentinel may have been suspended, re-institute it. Immediately. It is a shame
that these radicals and fundamental Islamics have not learned their lesson. We
will not risk allied lives to try and negotiate with or pacify them. Until
they come to us from out of these particular towns and cities willing to
submit themselves to abject unconditional surrender, have the Predator IVs
and, if necessary, full-scale Hail
Storm missile attacks do out talking and negotiating for us.
Regarding the buildup of their forces at the front, I guess it could be a
coincidence Jeremy& perhaps they want to simply try and overwhelm our space
based and hail storm capabilities and make a breakthrough somewhere. In that
case I would watch closely where they start their attacks, figuring that those
attacks may just be diversions meant to soak up our orbital bombardment and
Hail Storm missiles.
There principle targets would likely be elsewhere.
Having said that, I tend to agree with you.
I do not believe it is a coincidence that they would be gearing up for a
global offensive within a few hours of this level of biological attack.
Make sure our Theater Missile Defense capabilities are primed in all
theaters. Our response is likely going to invoke the need for that protection.
Make sure we do the same for the offshore and onshore
AEGIS sites here in the CONUS, and make sure General Percifer with SPACOM has
all of his ducks in a row for laser defense of the Continental United States
and the theaters where he has assets as well.

The great Biological attack of World War III
In the United States, the advance of the disease was very rapid. In several
cases, infected people had already left the cordoned off areas before they
could be stopped and the disease rapidly spread wherever they went. Major hot
spots of disease infection developed around each of the initial sites and in
the towns in between.
From San Francisco, the disease spread across the bay to Oakland and San Jose,
Page 157

it spread south to
Santa Cruz and north to Santa Rosa, and then east to Sacramento, and the
numerous smaller towns in between. It then progressed to Reno Nevada and Bend,
Oregon and the areas immediately surrounding them before being arrested on the
west coast.
In St. Louis, the spread of the disease was particularly horrific because the
deliver mechanism spread it over such a large geographical area before it
could be stopped. Major Missouri hot spots developed in the large metropolitan
area of Kansas City, downstream in Cape Girardeau, and in Springfield. The
disease also jumped the Mississippi River into East St. Louis, Illinois and
down stream to Paducah, Kentucky.
In the New York City area, the number of infected people was the largest as
the substance was released from several high rise buildings without being
impeded at all. Hot spots developed at White Plains and on
Long Island. The disease jumped the Hudson River quickly and took hold in
Jersey City and in Newark, New Jersey. More hot spots developed as far out as
Bridgeport, Connecticut and Paterson, New
Jersey.
From Philadelphia, predictably, and perhaps as planned, the disease rapidly
marched south towards the nations capitol. Wilmington, Delaware was infected,
then Aberdeen, Maryland, and finally Baltimore, Maryland. A monumental effort
was made all along the Patuxent River in Maryland to stop the spread before it
reached Washington, D.C. The effort was successful, but not before numerous
people had to be shot while attempting to cross the line between Maryland City
and Laurel. From Philadelphia the disease also spread north to Trenton, New
Jersey and into the interior of Pennsylvania, infecting Allentown, Reading,
Lancaster, and York before being halted.
Road blocks were established further and further out from the infected areas
in an attempt to ensure that anyone who could possibly have been infected were
stopped before spreading the disease further. As
Dr. Slater had suggested, the rapid incubation and onset of the disease ended
up helping in this regard because people could not get as far before
exhibiting signs of the disease.
To help in this, the executive order President Bowers signed, and which he
explained in full in his address to the nation on the 16th, went into full
effect on the 17th. By that afternoon all transportation was halted within
three hundred miles of any infected areas, except for biologically protected
law enforcement agency personnel, or other personnel working for government
agencies directly involved with addressing the situation.
In those areas of the country infected by the disease, all commerce ceased and
the negative economic impact grew to dangerous proportions. Commerce simply
could not continue as heads of households, business owners, workers, and
others gathered their own around them and sought to isolate themselves from
others to prevent the spread of the disease. For the most part, and based on
the advice of the government agencies, this meant staying at home and using
the phone to call emergency numbers for food or medical care. But in all too
many cases, and as time dragged on without complete help being available,

massive numbers of deaths occurred in rioting, looting, stealing, murdering
for food or medicine, and as people, in desperation tried to break through the
barricades and defenses set up at the perimeter of the quarantined areas.
For those seeking help, and for those personnel guarding the other parts of
the countryside that were not infected, it was a heartbreaking and gut
wrenching business.
The entire attempt to contain the disease and then help those infected was a
monumental effort, and as
Hasan Sayeed had foreseen, and as Jien Zenim recognized, the effort required
literally millions of personnel. To cordon off the areas effected and then
Page 158

administer help and aid to the roughly twenty million people living in those
areas infected by the disease stretched the nation, despite its war footing,
to the its breakingpoint. The National Guard and military reserve were
employed, Home Guard personnel were called up to unprecedented full-time duty,
military leaves were canceled, units about to depart for foreign theaters were
rerouted to help at home . America's ability to continue its ground and sea
