William Cullen

William Cullen was the US Secretary of Defense during the events of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. In the aftermath of the massacre at the Zakhaev International Airport and the discovery of the involvement of an American, he commented that he knows of no US agency cooperating with Vladimir Makarov in any capacity. He is then heard in the cutscene for Whiskey Hotel, speaking to General Shepherd about the nuke that Captain Price launched towards Washington, D.C. He personally grants Shepherd a "blank check" to use any resource available to the United States military.
