Andy Card, who served as chief of staff to President George W. Bush, recalls moments from Sept. 11, 2001.
“One thing a lot of people don't realize, he called president Putin, one of the first calls he made from Air Force One,” said Card.
Card noted there was no room for a nation to “straddle the fence” and revealed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s reaction to President Bush’s speech.
