Threat Quotations | Page 4

For years, even before 9/11, I've been trying to warn that the threat from amateur biolabs will ultimately turn out to be far more troublesome than leakage from military labs - perhaps even more costly and deadly than nuclear terrorism.

I don't think aggression on a country that was no threat to the United States is noble.

Fortunately, as the weather turns colder, the threat for infection from mosquitoes will subside. Mosquito activity lessens greatly after the first hard frost.

Given the new threat of terrorism, there has be some concern that new bookings are not holding up.

Global warming is the greatest environmental threat we face. Fortunately, states are stepping up to the plate in taking on this great challenge. Connecticut policy-makers have shown great leadership in reducing global warming and cleaning up the air we breathe.

If the threat is significant enough we will board that ship as far from our coast as we can,

If the dam were to fail, it definitely would pose a threat to the people in the downstream areas. That's why we reacted quickly, as soon as we became aware of the situation.

If the flag of an armed enemy of the U.S. is allowed to fly over government buildings, then it implies that slavery, or at least the threat of slavery, is sanctioned by that government and can still legally exist.

If the allegations brought forward by the whistleblowers are correct, they represent both a security threat and a waste of taxpayer dollars. It would be ironic, to say the least, if DHS were unable to secure its own headquarters.

If the allegations brought forward by the whistle-blowers are correct, they represent both a security threat and a waste of taxpayer dollars.

If oil companies make excessive profits, they should be subjected to a stiff tax on those excessive profits. The threat of heavy taxation will send a clear signal to oil companies that price gouging simply will not pay.

I always look at these superhero films, and I see people hurdling towards at a hundred miles per hour, and then they get up, shake their head, and charge back at a hundred miles per hour. Nobody seems to really get injured or hurt. I don't find any threat in that. There is no tension in that whatsoever.

He has a great presence on the field. He gives us a little bit more of a throwing threat and he made some real good decisions and did some real nice things for his first start.

He hasn't made any threat to the child, but the concern is he may unintentionally harm the child (due to his angry and intoxicated state).

He has been our offensive weapon the last month. Another big game from him. At least he is a threat up there at the plate now, which makes a big difference down in the bottom of the lineup.

He has become president precisely because he is a weak leader and no one thinks he would be a long term threat to them.

He has fantastic long-ball, and ball reactions, ... Very few people can snatch a ball right out of the air like that quick. And then the other thing, he's got a great burst, and when you get him going downfield and put in the ball reaction, he can be running, I think, and doesn't even put his hands up until the last second because he has such confidence there in where the ball is. Even though he's a shorter receiver, I think he's very much a downfield threat because of that, and then, of course, he's got great speed.

Had the intelligence community concluded the threat was imminent or credible, we would have followed ... different protocols.

He is definitely a threat that people are aware of at all times.

He is no longer a threat to his neighbors and is not seen as a threat to his neighbors. That's largely because of the containment that we have carried out.

He is just a really smart player. Like I say all the time, he plays in his role. He never tries to do what he is not capable of doing. He doesn't try to force anything. He's strong with the ball and very smart and a threat to always pass. He's a good player.

What makes Saddam so much more a threat today than a month ago?

There is, again, credible information about a threat to the embassy compound.

The purpose of this is to coordinate such tasks which would make it possible to break the situation, which makes special threat to the security and stability to Europe, and to direct the events ... towards a peaceful settlement,

We just have to get better as a group. The tight end is a unique position. We have to do a good job with blocking in the running game, and we have to be a threat in the passing game. In both areas we just need to work to get better. These guys have worked really hard in the off-season. I think we're stronger and faster, but now we just need to go out and show that on the field.

We took this threat seriously. We tried a number of avenues and we asked for his assistance in trying to corroborate the threats. But we were unable to produce enough information.

We?re now a team that is a threat to them walking away with a win.

When he's on his game, 100 percent, he's a threat to score, a threat to get under the other players' skins. When he's going, he plays smart and it helps the team.

What is a threat to national security and who determines what is a threat to national security?

We've got to stop Gray inside. Padgett really played well against him and Brian and Terrance aren't the offensive threat David is, so we're going to have to get a good game out of Palacios and our two centers just to contain Gray.

We've got to really bring an offensive threat to the field next week. We didn't carry our weight.

We've got to make sure the livability of our downtown community is protected. And we can't do that with the threat of condemnation.

We've done quite a bit, and we're continuing to do that until we have a level of comfort that the threat has been reduced.

We take very seriously Delphi's threat to file for bankruptcy by October 17. If Delphi files for bankruptcy, we couldn't rule out a ratings change (for GM).

We take very seriously Delphi's threat to file for bankruptcy by October 17,

We are fortunate in Onslow County that we don't flood very easily, ... We are expecting some minor coastal flooding. We don't expect anything to pose a serious threat to property or people but as always people should be careful driving through ponds on roadways.

We are focusing entirely on the defense of Turkey in the circumstances where that ally believes it is under threat and NATO as a collective security alliance with obligations that go along with that. (But) we're not part of any decision-making process that is tied to the United Nations.

We are far better prepared to deal effectively with a public-health threat than we were in 2001, a time when America's public-health infrastructure was crumbling due to decades of neglect.

We are facing a crisis of confidence that is eroding the public's trust in our markets, and poses a real threat to our economic health, ... The strain on the economy is deep and spreading.

We are extremely excited about the document. Both the culture and the nature of the South Pacific are under threat from many sources of development unless we take action to preserve them (?). We need to educate the public about their importance or we will end up losing them.

What would have to be demonstrated, and hasn't been demonstrated, is that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction and there is a direct, likely and immediate threat that such weapons would be employed,

What we've seen today is that the world really does care and wants to respond effectively to the threat of avian influenza, and a possible human pandemic.

Here's a toast to all those nurses and doctors who daily provide women with a choice, who stare down a threat the size of Oklahoma City just to listen to a young woman's voice.

Having that (run-and-pass) threat is really nice in keeping people off-balance.

Habitat loss really is the greatest threat for panther survival.

Having me at fullback, you kind of have that we-can-score-at-any- time mentality. When I get the ball, I can score from maybe 40, 50 and maybe 60 yards out, and that's definitely a threat we haven't had in the past.

He's a big threat to us, because he can change the game in a heartbeat. He's a real game-changer so we really have to be focused on him.

He's a real versatile player. He runs the ball for us some - he's popped some big runs (including a punt return for a touchdown against Summers County) - and gives us a threat that can go down the field and catch the long ball.

He's a real threat and this is very upsetting to our family and it's very upsetting to Joscelyne. It's been very difficult.

He's been the one consistent scoring threat that we have had thus far. We need to find a few more.

He's definitely a threat with his legs. He can move pretty well and I believe that he's a big guy (6-foot-4, 222 pounds), so we'll have to get after him.

History tells us that any attempt by a country to realize its interests through the use of threat or force ... will get nowhere. We will never waver in our commitment to the one-China principle.

He's a threat to take it the distance every snap. That's a special gift to have on offense. He's an explosive player.

He's a threat to society, he's a menace. We have a very serious situation here.

He's a threat on both ends of the court. He plays good defense. Hopefully that'll rub off on everybody else.

He's a threat every night. He's got jump, he's got energy. I think that's a great compliment for a young kid: knowing that each and every night (the team is) getting something from him.

He saw any kind of loyalty to the company as a threat to him, and he would undermine that consistently.

There are no proposals to increase the number of loops or running lines. The biggest threat to freight is the loss of existing and future 60mph freight slots on the ECML.

There are no plans to raise the threat level at this time. These are rumors.

We have to balance where we feel the greatest threat is. Aviation is still a threat because they (terrorists) use those planes as flying missiles.

Hurricanes are the greatest single natural catastrophic threat to this state by far.

He wasn't going to play, but then he convinced me he could. I had a short leash on him in case he didn't look good. He wasn't 100 percent, but just the threat of him being out there was huge for us.

He was a big offensive threat for us, and to lose him when you're having trouble scoring goals, it's going to hurt the team. To top it off, losing to a team that we're chasing, it's not good.

He wants to invoke the threat of polls (new elections), which the allies do not obviously want at this stage.

He can run and throw the ball so he's a threat both ways, and he's helped us defensively. Along with the other guys, in the right frame of mind, J.T. can really help us.

He carries the ball a lot out of the shotgun and can throw the ball. He really is a dual threat for them. To be successful against them defensively, we are going to have to use our team speed because we have never faced a player this fast.

He just told me to be more of an offensive threat because a lot of teams saw that I wasn't scoring a lot of points.

He'll be a threat for us out of the backfield running and catching the ball. John works hard...football is important to him.

He'll be a presence. They're still not going to pitch to him, even though he hasn't played all year. But he's going to get on base. Any time you get on base, you're a threat to score a run.

has not been demonstrated to pose a threat worthy of war at this time.

There are so many books, once banned, that are foundations of English literature, so it was very important to gain awareness of this threat to English literature.

There are signs that the Arab states are beginning to realize that a nuclear-armed Iran would be a threat to the entire region, and not just to Israel.

The only thing that saves us from the bureaucracy is inefficiency. An efficient bureaucracy is the greatest threat to liberty.

Kidnapping is always a threat in this life of reporting on men hurting one another because of religion and politics.

Kids can figure out ways so that their parents don't find anything on their machine, but Net Threat Analyzer goes back in after the fact where things are easier to detect,

Jake is a 100-yard threat running the ball, he's a good thrower and he has a great understanding of our offense.

Katrina may not be a major storm but she still poses a threat for flooding, for property damage and for somebody to be hurt,

Katie is a proven scorer and we look at her as a leader on the attacking end. She's an extension of the coaches out on the field. She's multidimensional in the way she can attack you because she has a hard shot that complements the way she reads defenses and sets up teammates. She's a threat to score or assist. But when we need a goal, we know we can count on her.

Judge O'Flaherty's rulings are putting drunk drivers back out on the street. It's a threat to public safety. It's offensive to law enforcement and prosecutors and it's offensive to the public.

I think it's going to be silly not to take the competitive threat seriously. If we haven't learned any lessons from Japan and Korea, we deserve the things that befall us, ... On the flip side, the growth in China continues to be so strong that our guess is that most of the capacity in China will be used to meet Chinese needs.

I think it's huge just to get him back on the field. His leadership, his determination, his abilities, his threat of scoring goals, it's just exciting to have him back. We've missed him.

It could be a slight threat to satellite radio but I would expect they'll coexist.

It contains a barely veiled threat of collective punishment. Making such a threat is a violation of the Geneva conventions and other laws of war.

It is absolutely unconscionable for us -- knowing we have a vaccine that is safe and effective and we know we have this deadly threat -- if we didn't provide that. We are doing the right thing.

It is a foregone conclusion that there is no threat of inflation ... the question is not when the Fed will ease, but how much, and how frequently.

It is a competitive threat to other players like William Hill and Rank, but it's only mildly negative for them.

I think the Internet is a threat to the traditional big labels because they do not fully understand it.

I think with Al there was always this thought that he was just a slapshot. (But) he controlled the defensive zone, he was able to control the pace of the game, and he had the ability to make great passes. There were a number of things Al did besides generating a threat on the power play. And he did it at an age when you see players at that position get slower. It seemed like he was almost getting better as he got older.

I think the bond is unfair. A bond should be set for two reasons: Will you return to court and are you a threat to our community?

I think the essential message was that Saddam Hussein represented a serious threat to the United States and to our friends and allies in the region.

I think the biggest threat to us is companies like Microsoft, Yahoo and Time Warner's AOL, because their customer base is so big.

I think the biggest threat to the United States by far is weapons of mass destruction in the hands of terrorists or renegades or outlaw states, which is a huge threat, ... The Very Best Men.

I think the American people understand the threat we still face.

Ladies and gentlemen, I wish I had better news for you but we are facing a storm that most of us have feared. This is a threat that we've never faced before.

I think we have a patchwork right now of trying to respond to the latest threat that we hear about. The system is not a system yet in this country. It is a patchwork of different approaches to security. We're playing catch-up.

I think we would ignore them as a threat at our peril. It isn't going to make life any easier.

I think a lot of programs, policies have been put in place since 9/11, have prevented a 9/11-style attack. On the other hand, I think the threat has become greater, not lesser.

It got a lot of media attention because of the name and the illicit material, but it did not get attention from the major antivirus companies. We kept the threat level low.

It has a potential threat to property later this afternoon.

It has been, after all, 11 years, more than a decade now, of defiance of U.N. resolutions by Saddam Hussein. Every obligation that he signed onto after the Gulf War, so that he would not be a threat to peace and security, he has ignored and flaunted.
