My Concerns Up Front

• Bioterrorism the poor mans nuclear weapon
• Medical surge for mass casualties
• Is an electronic Pearl Harbor inevitable? Are
  we building an adequate defense?
• Are we prepared to assure rapid enough decisions
  and actions?

Science and Technology Critical to victory
23
More Concerns

• Protecting our civil liberties
• How do we return to normalcy? What is
  preparedness? How much is enough? Fund what?
  Setting limits and priorities.
• The need for a dialogue with the American people
  about the reality of living long-term with some
  level of risk.
• Vision for how state and local stakeholders fit
  into the national strategy and prepare AMERICAN
  BATTLESPACE

24
As A Result

• There has been a
  profound change in U.S.
  security
• America is no longer
  isolated from terrorism
• The asymmetric threat of terrorism is now a
  strategic threat
• Not unlike Israelis, Americans must learn to cope
  with new dangers

25
Fear and Uncertainty

• al-Qaida seeks to
• Obtain WMD
• Conduct attacks
• To
• Create fear and uncertainty alter economic
  behavior wreck the economy
• Destroy confidence
• Separate Americans from their government
• Seize political control in the Middle East
• Convert the infidels, destroy the West

Chemical Biological Nuclear Radiological
Enhanced Conventional
26
Catastrophic Terrorism

• The threat of terrorism will last a
  long time
• Future terror may again include
  weapons of mass destruction
• We must guard against and prepare for the
  consequences of catastrophic terrorism

They Hate Us And We Will Not Change Their Minds
