While Alaska was in chaos, some people in Washington were like ants on a hot pan, scurrying about everywhere.
The Marriott Hotel was attacked by terrorists, a group of diplomats from allied countries were taken hostage and infected with the Ebola virus...
Eight hours have passed, but Washington continues to hold meetings, with various political brokers, contractors, and politicians seeking opportunities to meet at key gatherings.
No one wants to get involved at this time because these politicians know that when those diplomats from allied countries are infected with the virus and used as hostages, no matter how it's handled, there can't be a perfect outcome.
A truly capable leader is the one who can lead a team to minimize losses under adverse conditions. Washington does have such smart people, but how could they put themselves at risk in such situations?
