FOUR THEATERS???
In my mind, he is putting this in a world perspective. Gulf of Mexico is one, and Gulf of Aden. What are the other two? Possibilities might be Black Sea, Yellow Sea, Indian Ocean near Diego Garcia which might be an important staging location along with Saudi Arabia. Does anyone have better suggestions of what the four theaters are?

And the 72 hour thing!!! Kind of brings reality up close and personal. Is it really gonna happen? Is this the intel which gives us a chance to do whatever we need to do? I think if I lived anywhere in Florida or near the Gulf Coast, I'd head out walking if that was my only means of getting some distance behind me.

Wonder what the crooks in Washington will be doing the next couple days. Of course, they've got helicopters so they can wait till the last minute, and leave all the dupes behind who trusted them to be representatives of the people.

Maybe a submariner would have an idea of why 150 foot depth is being ordered. Does that give a sub ample protection from a surface nuke? Or what about an undersea nuke?

And what might the naval forces at Costa Rica and Aruba be doing now? Anyone have contacts with those guys?

Just my thoughts, might be way off track. But then, reality is getting more bizarre by the day!
