Thirteen Days

:39:00
Which at the end of the day
amounts to the same thing

:39:03
A puppet Kruschev
:39:04
and a hard-line Soviet government
pulling the strings

:39:06
No deal. And the missiles
are almost operational

:39:10
What if the Soviets have no intention
of honoring this second deal?

:39:13
The tomorrow
they make another condition

:39:15
Meanwhile
the quarantine isn't working

:39:18
and they're completing work
on the missiles sites

:39:21
Sir, I think we have to issue
pre- invasion orders for our forces

:39:25
Mr. President
:39:27
This morning's photography is in
:39:29
It appears the Soviet have commenced a
crash program to ready their missiles

:39:34
The first missiles
become operational last night

:39:37
We expect they'll all be operational
in 36 hours

:39:40
Then we're out of time
:39:41
We have to go in
:39:42
That may not be
as easy as we thought, either

:39:44
We have confirmation
the Soviets have also deployed

:39:48
battlefield nuclear weapons to Cuba
:39:50
FROGS, we call them
:39:51
Short- range tactical nukes
:39:53
We don't know whether
they've delegated release authority

:39:56
to their local commanders
for use on our invasion troops

:39:59
But the good news is
as of this moment

:40:02
we know where the FROGS are
and we can target them, too

:40:06
But the longer we wait
the harder it's going to get

:40:26
We have no choice
:40:32
General, issue orders to our forces
:40:34
to be prepared to execute
the air strikes Monday morning

:40:38
and the follow-on invasion
according to the schedule thereafter

:40:43
I'll need the official release orders
on my desk Sunday night

:40:46
Understood, sir
:40:48
We need to step up our over flights
:40:50
finalize our pilots' target folders
in order to carry out the strikes

:40:55
Permission granted
:40:56
Yes, sir
