Dear @SecRubio
: You told Americans to depart now via commercial means when you know many airports/airspace are closed.

YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULE U.S. GOVERNMENT EVACUATION FLIGHTS FOR THE STRANDED AMERICANS IN DANGER.

Maybe you should have thought of a frickin’ plan first.

the Travel Advisory Map shows UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Egypt as Level 2. Even that's wrong as it says "Contains areas with higher security risks" when Level 2 is actually "Exercise increased caution." It should show Level 4 Do Not Travel.
