Today’s
excerpt is from Back To Iraq, Book #2 of the Janitors Series. Less than two days after the Islamic 9/11
attack on America, the okay is given for the Janitors to take out an al-Qaida
facility inside Iraq. Enjoy and have a fantastic day.

When
Ted returned to the White House, he went into conference with General
Bradley. The general liked the plan and
took it into the President when the President’s time permitted. He handed the copy given him by Ted to the
President. “Jim Scott has drawn up a
plan to take out that underground facility in Iraq near the town of Hit that we
have discussed a few times already.”
“Will
it work?”
“I
think so, sir. You know Scott…he seldom
misses… Make that never misses, as far
as I know.”
“Can
he bring it off without it becoming public knowledge?”
“I’m
sure he can. Who would broadcast the
fact? Certainly not the Iraqis. Whatever that place is, you can bet that it
is something that shouldn’t be. On our
end, only you, I, Ted, and the Janitors will know. Oh, some of the support people they have
asked for—airlift types et cetera will know—but what will they really
know? Only that the Janitors went in and
came out.
“Sir,
if we’re lucky, this is an al-Qaida facility and we can hit bin Laden where he
least expects it…and soon. I can lay on
the things Scott needs in about two hours.
He said he needs about an hour’s notice.
It sure would be nice to smack bin Laden back within 36 or so
hours. Just a damn pity we’d have to
keep it to ourselves. The public could sure
use that kind of a boost. However, it
would make the job of coalition building very difficult if it leaked out.”
“That
was my real concern when I asked if we could keep it under our hats. Do you see any reason not to give him the go
ahead?”
“None,
sir.”
“Do
it.”
“Yes,
sir,” a very happy General Bradley said as he turned and left the Oval Office.
Four
hours later, the Janitors were on their way to Iraq.
