What do you do if you're the president and aliens just leveled every major city in the world?

Rating: 1/10 (16 October 2013)

The aliens just showed up in several giant flying saucers that measure 15 miles in diameter. The saucers each positioned themselves over a different major city in the world and simultaneously leveled them. What do you do if you're the president? Will you order a massive nuclear attack to repel the aliens?
Nope, the president in Independence Day thinks that it's premature to use nuclear weapons at this point. He wants to try and take down the 15-mile floating saucers with air-to-air missiles. You try it and it didn't work. Every fighter jet is wiped out in a matter of minutes. Meanwhile the flying saucers are moving on to destroy more large cities. What do you do? You're going to order the massive nuclear attack nowright?
WRONG, but the president thinks that one nuclear weapon may be used on one alien ship as long as not too many people get hurt by it. You fire and detonate a nuclear missile against one of the 15-mile saucers, but the saucer doesn't go down. One nuke didn't work. What do you do? Do you try more? How about 10, 30, or 100 nukes? What do you have to lose?
No, the president thinks that it is now hopeless to use any weapons. He wants other options. At this point, one of the president's aides decides that now is a good time to inform the president that the United States is secretly in possession of alien technology in Area 51. You go to Area 51 and use the alien tech to hatch a one-time plan to disable the shields of the flying saucers. But their shields will only be down for a few minutes if this works. Now, will you please order the massive nuclear assault when the shields go down? It's our last chance. You'll do it, right?
WRONG again, the president would rather try conventional weapons in this one-time effort to save the Earth. You send your last fighter jets to fire air-to-air missiles at the 15-mile flying saucer. The missiles manage to scorch the outside of the saucer, nothing more. All is lost. Hold on, one guy crashed his plane into the middle on the saucer, which caused a chain reaction that destroyed the entire ship.
Waitare you kidding me? The aliens built their 15-mile wide impenetrable flying saucers with a weak point in the middle that, if touched, destroys the entire ship. That can't be right. Why would they do that? That's worse than the bad decisions the president was making. THE END.
