:13:00
That may not be
as easy as we thought, either

:13:02
We have confirmation
the Soviets have also deployed

:13:05
battlefield nuclear weapons to Cuba
:13:07
FROGS, we call them
:13:08
Short- range tactical nukes
:13:10
We don't know whether
they've delegated release authority

:13:13
to their local commanders
for use on our invasion troops

:13:17
But the good news is
as of this moment

:13:19
we know where the FROGS are
and we can target them, too

:13:23
But the longer we wait
the harder it's going to get

:13:43
We have no choice
:13:49
General, issue orders to our forces
:13:52
to be prepared to execute
the air strikes Monday morning

:13:55
and the follow-on invasion
according to the schedule thereafter

:14:00
I'll need the official release orders
on my desk Sunday night

:14:03
Understood, sir
:14:05
We need to step up our over flights
:14:07
finalize our pilots' target folders
in order to carry out the strikes

:14:12
Permission granted
:14:13
Yes, sir
:14:25
Gentlemen
:14:27
if anybody's got any great ideas
now's the time

:14:39
Major Anderson
there's a phone call for you

:14:41
Thank you
:14:43
Gimme just a second here, guys
:14:49
This is Major Anderson
:14:52
Hello? Anyone there?
:14:54
Major?
:14:55
Yes, sir
:14:56
My name's Kenneth O'Donnell
Special Assistant to the President
