Situation Room Man

dutiful unflappable precise analytical factual authoritative composed professional
Situation Room Man snaps intel into focus as Bahji shadows lengthen, voice slicing confirmation that Kazakh advisors' dawn dispatches and a Chechen prisoner's Russian-held testimony lock onto military strikes—Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, Jaber, Prince Sultan, Incirlik, Seeb North. He thrusts VR-crunched call data forward, nailing Mohammad Sabeh as cell linchpin, his clipped precision riveting Bartlet, Leo, Fitzwallace, Admiral, and General through 48-hour peril. Unyielding conduit of layered sources, he fortifies crisis core where threats converge on White House thresholds.
