When it is real, there won't be a telegraphed warning. Think Pearl Harbor
"When it is real, there won't be a telegraphed warning. Think Pearl Harbor"
It's hard to say. 9/11 was like another Pearl Harbor but worse - we lost MORE life there. Evil can slip up too which would give us some warning. God only knows how many plots were STOPPED. They don't always publicize stuff that goes on - there's too much going on.
Actually, I've done some study on that. If I remember correctly, Japan DID attempt to issues a warning, or at least make a formal declaration of war shortly before the deed. Unfortunately, a diplomatic SNAFU delayed the formal declaration.
I wish I could remember were I read this, but, (again based upon an unnammed source I read MANY years ago), Japan had preparred another wave of strikes once they had refueled their plains, but becaused of the SNAFU, they pulled back as it was against their honour to have attacked in such a manor
I could be wrong.... and either way, I don't think that those threatening use of a dirty bomb have near the honour of Japan.
In Tora Tora Tora or in At Dawn We Slept, one can see/read all the telegraphed clues that were missed (completely or barely).
