WASHINGTON -- A CIA official said terrorists are more likely to use a truck than a missile to launch attacks on the US.
But Robert Walpole told a Senate committee Monday that the missile threat is still greater than it was "during most of the Cold War.''
Walpole believes the threat will continue to grow "as the capabilities of potential adversaries mature.''
Walpole said there are several advantages to weapons delivered without missiles.
He said they are "are less costly, easier to acquire, more reliable and accurate.''
Walpole also said intelligence agencies have made a "significant'' change in their estimate of the threat from Iran.
It's now considered to pose the same level of threat as North Korea during the next 15 years.
When millions of Americans are threatened or die, the clowns in Washington who refuse to seal this border (and also, thereby, stopping the drugs that fund Fox and PAN or the millions of illegal aliens), will point out how well they have prevented tweezers from being carried on passenger flights.
The major threat is the Mexican border!!! It is clear!! It is obvious!!! Refrigerator trucks half full of, what, frozen shrimp, avocados, tequilla? could come north by the hundreds, driven by drivers who just want a ride across the border and who will disappear nito the massive illegal populations after parking the trucks where told. How tough would it be to disguise Arabs to look like Mexicans? If they had lived in Mexico City for 6 months? Didn't some on the Holocaust Arabs look pretty American? SEAL THE BORDER NOW, WHILE THERE IS STILL TIME!!!!
