:11:01
One ship, an accident, maybe
:11:04
Six, Mr. President, is intentional
:11:06
Mr. President, let them go
:11:08
You're still here?
:11:09
4 of the 6 continuing ships
are still a day away from the line
:11:13
They stopped the ones
we suspect have weapons aboard
:11:16
We'd look pretty bad shooting up
a freighter full of baby food
:11:19
We sure as shit would
:11:22
Captain, I want you
to maintain contact with those ships
:11:25
and do nothing until I order otherwise
Is that clear?
:11:28
Yes, Mr. President
:11:30
Contact only
:11:38
At its beginning
:11:39
this day looked as though
it might be one of...
:11:42
armed conflict between
Soviet vessels and American war ships
:11:44
on the sea lanes leading to Cuba
:11:49
Find out how close
our exercises are coming...
:11:51
to their anti-ship missiles
:12:18
Goddammit
:12:20
How the goddamn hell
could this happen?
:12:21
I will have Power's head on a platter
:12:23
Next to LeMay's
:12:26
Kenny, you hear me
give the order to got o DEFCON 2?
:12:29
'Cause I remember
giving the order to go to DEFCON 3
:12:32
but I must be suffering from amnesia
:12:34
I've just been informed
our nuclear forces are at DEFCON 2
:12:38
Mr. President
:12:39
the orders were limited...
:12:40
to our strategic forces
in the continental United States
:12:44
General LeMay is correct
:12:46
Technically
SAC has the statutory authority...
:12:48
I have the authority!
:12:51
I am the commander-in-chief
of the United States
:12:53
and I say when we go to war
:12:57
We're not at war, sir
Not until DEFCON 1
