Mueller spoke his mind and spoke of reality.
If anybody thinks we ain't gonna get whacked again
they probably believe in the tooth fairy also.
Now when people start getting "real honest" (i.e. Mueller, Rumsfield, Cheney), people start screaming why are they saying these things.
Fact, if somebody is willing to kill themselves to accomplish their goals, and there are enough of them, there is no way we will be able to stop every terrorist attack.
Look at Israel, small country, very tight security (unlike us) and yet, they admitt, we cannot stop every terrorist attack.
I don't hear anybody yelling about them being defeatists because they face the reality that terrorists attacks (especially in a country as large as ours) are nearly impossible to eliminate.
I don't think that's the point of the article. Sure, we have a high probability of another attack and it could be a doosy; however, what are we doing to mitigate or possibly prevent an attack? I'm at the point where if we know that Al-Queda are in a region in Pakistan, why not drop tactical nukes to eliminate them? It appears it is survival of the fittest.
I would not rule out a "dirty nuke" detonated in NY, Washington, or other major cities. Let's get them before they get us.
