Pentagon Chief Says Nuclear Attack Could Happen Any Time Now

Well...this is a sobering assessment from someone who is certainly qualified to speak of such things.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Late in a life lived unnervingly near the nuclear abyss, William J. Perry is on a mission to warn of a "real and growing danger" of nuclear doom.

The 88-year-old former defense secretary is troubled by the risks of catastrophe from the very weapons he helped develop. Atop his list: a nuclear terror attack in a major U.S. city or a shooting war with Russia that, through miscalculation, turns nuclear. A terrorist attack using a nuclear bomb or improvised nuclear device could happen "any time now - next year or the year after," he said in an interview with reporters earlier this month.

Perry chooses his words with the precision of a mathematician, which he was before entering the defense world in the mid-1950s. He played a central role in developing and modernizing nuclear forces throughout the Cold War - first as a technology whiz-kid and later a three-time senior Pentagon executive. During the 1962 Cuban missile crisis Perry was secretly summoned to Washington to analyze intelligence on Soviet weapons in Cuba.

"Every day that I went to the analysis center I thought would be my last day on Earth," he writes in a newly published memoir, "My Journey at the Nuclear Brink." He says he believed then and still believes that the world avoided a nuclear holocaust as much by good luck as by good management.

"We are facing nuclear dangers today that are in fact more likely to erupt into a nuclear conflict than during the Cold War," Perry said in a recent speech.

A soft-spoken man not given to hyperbole, Perry is on a public crusade to persuade people that nothing less than the future of civilization is at stake. What worries him most is that few seem to notice.

Wow...that's interesting....WHAT WORRIES HIM MOST IS THAT FEW SEEM TO NOTICE!

Matthew 24
38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away.

There can be little doubt that that most Americans are clueless as to what is happening around them.  I just saw a story on the news a few days ago of how many people are getting injured or killed because they have their faces so buried in iPhones and iPads that they just walk on front of a train or fall into a fountain!

We are deluded, complacent and apathetic to the events transpiring around us.

Lord, forgive us...we know not what we are doing.

Matthew 16
2 He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ 3 and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.

Stay sober!  Stay awake! Stay busy about the Master's work!  He's coming to snatch His bride from this sin-soaked world before most of the people left behind will be swept away to their destruction.
