00:00We're at war. We will find those who did it, and we'll bring them to justice.
00:11Kofor Black, chief of counterterrorism, said, if you'll let me do it, I'll have flies walking
00:16on their eyeballs in six weeks. That's what I'm talking about.
00:22I was working with a representative from the FAA, trying to track some of the conspirators.
00:28We knew this was Osama bin Laden.
00:31We were going to war, full out, against bin Laden.
00:35I say to the American people, by God's will, we are going to fight you, and we will continue
00:45the terrorist operations.
00:46You had branches of Al Qaeda everywhere. Bin Laden basically franchised himself.
00:51They had a stronghold in Tora Bora. That's where the intelligence said that they had
00:56retreated to.

01:27The president said, nobody else in our government is to know about this.

01:34This is the moment when everything you've planned to get bin Laden is on the line in
01:40the next 20 minutes.
01:42And that's when all hell broke loose.
