General Franks described the beginning of hostilities as follows: "Somewhere 8 to 10 hours before the expiration of the ultimatum, I got a call from General Dick Myers in the situation room of the White House with Don Rumsfield and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director George Tenet. I had with me in Qatar my intelligence people. Information being received that regime leadership was in a particular location; the president took a decision that the location would not be hit before the expiration."1 "The secretary (Rumsfield) asked me if I had the capability to hit such a location.
