U.S. military chief warns of rogue missile attacks
By Broward Liston
ORLANDO, Fla., Nov 8 (Reuters) - Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the U.S. joint
chiefs of staff, warned NATO allies on Saturday that conventional forces were
vulnerable to cruise missile attacks from rogue, non-state militants, saying
"it won't be long before that threat is upon us."
Myers spoke behind closed doors to the Defense and Security Committee of the
NATO Parliamentary Assembly, meeting in Florida.
The media was barred from the speech but in a recording obtained by Reuters,
Myers presented the threat from cruise missiles and short-range ballistic
missiles as a hole in U.S. and allied defenses that could be exploited by
"non-state actors," which he did not further identify.
"You don't hear about the cruise missile threat, but if you think about it,
cruise missiles, can be made to have very low radar cross sections, so they're
hard to see," said Myers.
"They fly typically low to the ground, they fly relatively fast and they carry
significant warheads, especially if you think about biological weapons or
radiological weapons or even conventional weapons, for that matter, and they
can be launched from almost anything -- from the back of trucks," Myers said.
"I only hope that people realize that this is a real threat. Short-range
ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, are prevalent in many countries," he said.
"It won't be long before that threat is upon us."
Myers did not say what groups he meant when he spoke of "non-state actors" but
he was believed to be referring to groups like al Qaeda.
A spokesman for the general later told Reuters that Myers was not referring to
any specific or imminent threat, and that the United States does not believe
opposition forces in Iraq have access to cruise missiles.
Myers raised the issue of cruise missiles during a question and answer period
following his speech, which urged NATO members to streamline their national
debates and make rules for deployment more flexible in the face of new threats
posed by non-state militants.
"Only a small fraction of our forces are truly deployable. Without the
political will, without the commitment to make the forces truly deployable,
NATO will become increasingly marginalized," Myers said.

That, along with all the other fairytales that have been concocted by the
yankies.
The NATO guys were probably diplomatic at the meeting but had a good larf at
the pub later!!!

Amazing how clown in Europe want to see this as a joke.
I guess Chris will find it funny when the day comes that missiles with Chem/Bio
payloads are landing in Europe.
BTW, it's all been prophesied.

the yankie crusade to conquer the oil
in the Mid-East.

Bend over for Islam? That's the problem with your type of extremist. Gotta

Something is very wrong with the occupation. Today Italy's building
was hit. The scene would be similar if many nations tried to locate
troops in Chechnya.
....It's true. Even Arnold S would say equality is not an option. They
bad; we good. The truth is both sides are wrong. The same with Sharon
and Arafat (or his cohorts).
