the President had come across to him. The call had, in fact, been a personal
one& not laden with the usual formal speech of diplomacy or negotiations.
And yet, Puten realized that John Bowers had accomplished some important
diplomacy and negotiating during the call. He had reaffirmed America s
intentions with respect to their space station deployment intentions that were
not aligned with what the Russian Federation had desired. He had reassured the
Russian President regarding America s unwavering support for the Rodina,
promising specific quantities of more support troops, weapons systems, food,
agricultural equipment, and technical assistance.
And he had done it all with a call that I will always remember as a wish for
me and my own family to enjoy a Merry Christmas & amazing! concluded the
Russian President.
And as it had done with Henrietta Maldenado, the call inspired Vladimyr Puten
to make several calls of

his own& to pass on the faith, good cheer and commitment of friendship and
support from one allied leader to another.
Christmas Day, 2009, 19:00 EDT
The Oval Office
The White House, Washington, D.C.
Aftera day of talking of contacting all of the major allied leaders and
extending them the heartfelt feelings and wishes of the season, and then
bolstering them with the firm assurances of America s support the
President prepared to make his most important address, to the American people.
Through most of his life, he had never thought of himself as much of a public
speaker. Oh, he could issue the orders and directives necessary to fulfill
whatever goals his superiors in the military or civilian life had outlined for
him. And he was strong at developing and implementing the plans necessary to
accomplish those directives.
But, until he had been appointed into high public office, he had not been
required to speak in front of large numbers of people.
Then, starting with his appointment as the National Security Advisor to

President Weisskopf in 2005, all of that had begun to change. He had tried to
avoid public appearances as much as possible, but with world conditions
degrading, the responsibilities of his office increasingly required him to
articulate the administration s positions on national security via television
news shows, radio talk shows and at public events.
As Vice President, his spoken words were increasingly in demand, particularly
as America had suffered so many setbacks in the early years of the war. In
addition, President Weisskopf s plan for using the leadership to rally the
morale of the American people continued to this day, in the face of persistent
enemy attacks.
While John Bowers was still a rather reluctant public speaker, believing that
he lacked a natural flair for it, reality belied his own feelings on the
matter. He was inspiring in his sincerity in communicating his thoughts and
his goals in a compelling, heartfelt manner. If asked how he so smoothly
transitioned from a behind-the-scenes man into anin-the-public-view man, he
would simply state that somehow God had filled in the gaps and given voice to
his thoughts and that accounted for the changes.
And perhaps He had.
Either way, as the cameras came on, and the President looked into the one
directly in front of his desk, he knew he was looking into the heart and soul
of America and of free people everywhere as he started his Christmas speech.
Good evening my fellow Americans, and good evening to all of our friends and
allies watching throughout the world.

Merry Christmas to each of you, and a particular wish for a Merry Christmas
to all of our military service personnel stationed throughout the world on
this special day. For all of us, no matter what our role, I trust that, even
in the current hardships of war that we all face, the spirit of the Christmas
season abides with all. That the great example of selflessness, sharing,
giving, healing, unity, perseverance, and sacrifice fills your hearts as it
does my own, and that of my family.
Tonight I bring you a message based upon those traditional and foundational
Christmas principles. It is a message filled with hope and progress in this
war, and one filled with the promise of a bright future that we can now
glimpse on the far horizon.
Though the dark clouds and rough seas still make the journey perilous, I am
confident that we are steadily progressing toward the thin line of light along
the horizon dispelling the storms of these past many years.
Let me share with you why I believe this.
Tonight, except for a few miles just north of the juncture of the Isthmus of
Panama and South America, all of Central America had been freed of the tyranny
of Chinese and CAS forces. Although the locks have been destroyed by the
retreating Chinese forces, the Panama Canal is once again firmly in American
hands, and it will remain that way perpetually.
Tonight I can say to you that the Caribbean has been cleared of enemy forces.
Cuba has been completely pacified, her people freed from dictatorial
oppressions, and her leaders brought to American justice. Along with other
prominent terrorist leaders who have already been captured and sentenced in
American military tribunals, those leaders will have their sentences carried
out on January 1st of the coming year, less than a week away. All other
Chinese and other enemy forces and facilities in the
Bahamas have been defeated and occupied by American forces.
In South America the war effort is progressing favorably. Venezuela has been
completely cut off from resupply or reinforcement by our air, land and sea
forces, and Venezuelan, Chinese and remaining
Panamanian forces there are now confined to rough terrain and dense jungle
areas along the northeastern coast. American, Colombian, and Brazilian forces
have them surrounded there. In Colombia, enemy forces are fractured, but
Page 194

continue fighting fiercely in pockets in the densely forested highlands, but
they are without hope of assistance from either CAS or CASAS forces.
The only area of South America where enemy forces continue to maintain any
advantage is in
Argentina. Brazilian and other allied South American forces have been thwarted
from making headway there since the Chinese shifted their major South American
focus to that region. Over eight hundred thousand Chinese troops, some from
northern sections of the continent and others who arrived there in
Chinese convoys and aircraft, reinforced and bolstered Argentine forces to the
point of stopping
Brazilian, Ecuadorian, and Peruvian advances, and in many areas, throwing them
back. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
