'Mortal danger' terrorism warning


Tony Blair warned of a "new type of war" from global terrorists

Britain cannot afford to "err on the side of caution" in the fight against terrorism, Tony Blair has said in one of his starkest warnings yet.

In a speech, he argued: "The threat we face is not conventional. It is a challenge of a different nature from anything the world has faced before."

The prime minister warned of the "mortal danger" of under-estimating the threat of unconventional attacks. (snip)

"The threat we face is not conventional

since words mean things, I'd say we need to take Tony Blair at his word. He knows a lot more about what is happening behind the scenes than we do. He wouldn't have said it if he didn't believe it.
You can't get much clearer than this. Do they have "40 nukes in the US?" I don't know. Do they have Nuke detonation devices? Absolutely. Can they get them here and will they use them? Absolutely. It's WHEN not IF.

The threat and the attack are multi-faceted. They will use IMO attacks of every kind simultaneously...NBC and conventional to cause confusion..but the NBC WILL happen sooner or later.

I did Google searches on many of the statements in this speech and suggest that everyone do the same. You will be surprised at the links that are there, many of them will be anti-America, but there is much on nuclear and other warnings. (message #2714)

Google search for:

the threat we face is

where are terrorists hiding

where will the next terrorist attack be

the threat we face is not conventional

"mortal danger" terrorism warning

the threat we is

I haven't done the following as yet:

bin ladin called a duty to obtain nuclear weapons

global terror

global terror groups

new type of war

fighting terrorism relying on intelligence

anti terror action

Google has to be the most fantastic tool on the Internet.
