Mr. Secretary, welcome. It s good to be here. They want to get us out of the Gulf. So we expect more attacks, and the attacks may be bigger, may be more fierce than the ones we have already gotten. They could involve chemical weapons, biological weapons.
Chemical weapons are a possibility.
They could involve bigger bombs. We want to get ahead of this threat, instead of always reacting to the last threat. Now on that basis that we will be attacked again, it s critically important for us to stay in the Gulf, but we have to protect our forces as best possible, that we have announced today the force protection initiative, which are rather dramatic actions we will have to take to deal with this higher level of threat. We ve taken about 130 different measures just at Kobhar Towers alone since last November to protect our forces. It s around the U.S. Air Force facility.
