When President Riggins is approached by the Egyptian Ambassador, and is told of a devious plot that is about to unfold in Chad, his reaction is one of disbelief Two hundred Libyan men have melted into the citizenry of Chad and are about to start a terrorist reign that will eventually lead the world to believe that Chad has invaded Libya without warning. Egypt cannot become involved directly because of their place in the North African Council and Ambassador Aboulza is pleading with the President to intercede or find a solution before the plot explodes into a North African meltdown. The President summons General Loren Roberts to the White House and discloses his conversation with the Ambassador. The General asks, "Who else knows of this plot?" The President replies, "The President of Egypt, Ambassador Aboulza, the Egyptian Ambassador to Chad, myself and now you." General Roberts quickly points out the perils of involvement. "Are you going to inform the congress of the situation?" The President quickly answers, "No. Nothing has happened, yet. What would I tell them?"
