We are at war, the threat is still out there and is very serious.
Note this information comes from high level Navy Admiral ( he is providing legitimate info, but is not disclosing operational details):
"I don't think there is any question that as we thwart their attacks and disrupt their operations on land, that we should expect them to turn to the sea," Vice Admiral Patrick M. Walsh, who is in charge of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, said in an interview. "

Remember those earlier reports of a few years ago about Al Qaeda's Navy ( some 12-14 ships?)

NEVER FORGET....
The man who predicted the Al Qaeda Attacks of September 11, 2001,
...immediately following an Al Qaeda Bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 that he also had predicted in the mid-1980's while taking over Tower II's security for 3,000 Morgan Stanley employees,
....my fellow Veteran of the 1st Major Battle of the Vietnam War in the Valley of Death known as the IA DRANG Valley of November 14, 1965...

NEVER ever FORGET him on,
...this day celebrating Liberty and Justice for all,
...and his blessed Freedom message,
...as he ended up saving 1,000's of lives on 9/11 while so selflessly giving up his own in the process.

"al qaeda oses a major threat from sea"
Well: DUHHHHH! There's mushroom growing in my garden that had enough sense to come to that conclusion long ago. How much are these people paid?...if paid anything it's too much.
