User blog:Bzero/President Dunham - US Response to Cobra

Hussein Dunham appears at a press conference, standing behind the Presidential podium. As cameras flash, he delivers the following prepared speech:

“In today’s world, memories are short. Accomplishments are forgotten, trespasses forgiven. This can be a good thing, until our enemies try to use the memory hole to pull the wool over our eyes. Cobra has claimed to turn over a new leaf, helping in troubled areas while spreading a message of peace. However, they continue to attack American personnel, even as they pretend that the men and women in our armed forces aren’t citizens and don’t have families to mourn them.

“At the same time, Cobra tries to spin the alleged actions of a single Autobot into a split between the Autobot leadership and ours. The Autobots have been American allies for over twenty-five years, and have saved far more monuments than have been recently damaged. The monuments are being restored, and I have faith that Autobot command will properly punish any misdeeds performed by soldiers under their command. Vandalism is not a national security issue.

“As for alleged actions of our armed forces in Mexico and in the attack against Krista Devereax – I know justice will prevail. We have not had any illegal forces in Mexico, and I want to remind the American public that our citizens are innocent until proven guilty – although the Pentagon will, of course, launch full investigations into both incidents. In the meantime, the Cobra Consulate will be closed until all attacks have ceased against American targets, military or otherwise.”

President Dunham takes a few questions, and then ends the press conference.
