an active attack would probably involve the u.s.s. mahan, an american destroyer armed with up to 90 tomahawk cruise missiles. they have a range of at least 1,300 kilometers, meaning the mahan could reach any target in syria. in addition long-range bombers can attack from the u.s. the nato air base in turkey is likely to play a key role, as is brynn's base in cypress. even though the u.k. parliament has rejected taking part in military action against syria. an air strike is likely to target syrian army bases, weapons stockpiles and military positions, especially around damascus. sites where chemical weapons are produced will most likely not be targeted. to attack them would put civilian lives in danger. syria's neighbors, surky and jordan, are unlikely to get involved in any direct action. nevertheless, turkish troops could face retaliatory strikes perhaps in the form of rocket attacks. should syria attack positions in turkey for jordan, patriot missile defenses stationed in both countries could come into play. the german army operates

you may remember that in the year 2000, the "u.s.s. le" was bombed when refueling at a port in yemen. that was the port in aden in yemen which you see on the bottom part of your screen. this port at balhaf, same country, same bit of coastline. balhaf is 250 miles up the way to the east. on june 2nd, somebody tried to blow up the belhaf liquified natural gas terminal. thankfully it blew up too early and only the driver, only the suicide bomber was killed. then last wednesday, yemen said it had foiled another plot to attack oil and gas facilities in that same area and also further up the coastline in a place called mukala, that was on wednesday. they said plots had been foiled. now an attack seems to have been successful. five soldiers reported killed yesterday in yemen near that balhaf terminal, after multiple attackers reportedly surprised the yemeni soldiers at their guard posts. now, the people who run the balhaf liquified natural gas terminal are insisting emphatically the terminal, itself, did not get hurt saying it hurts their shar

for instance they tried to blow up the u.s.s. sullivan off the coast of yemen january 3rd, 2000 which was the same day that year. they also, you know, benghazi, the political context here. no regional security officer sitting in an embassy that might be affected is going to, you know s going to take any of these sorts of threats very seriously. so you know there are multiple reasons why this happened. there were also prison breaks in iraq and libya and pakistan, releasing thousands of inmates, some of whom associated with al qaeda and other groups that i think added to the threat environment. so you know, if you are sitting in the u.s. government office you are making a prudential decision, you know. it may be overkill. i think it probably is. and certainly it seems to have freaked out a lot of americans but if people watching this program are worried about traveling, unless they are planning a vacation in afghanistan and planning to check into a hotel next to the u.s. embassy there, they should go ahead and take that vacation. >>

that was the view in the 1990's when we believed that responding to the u.s.s. ies in kenya and tanzania should be dealt with in a proportionate way. the result is it encouraged al qaeda to strike homeland and 9/11 was a big deal, if you were in lower manhattan or if you were by the pentagon. that was a huge deal t. cost our economy tens of billions of dollars and that was a foretaste of what a terrorist might do if they had a nuclear weapon so to say we should not over react, i think we have to take this seriously. jenna: in your column, you say after 11 years of taking off our shoes before getting on planes, in some cases there's a forgetfulness what it was like before 9/11 and immediately after. how do we make sure that doesn't happen so we remain vigilant? >> this is really the challenge of state craft. it's more people like president obama to say, no. the threat of terrorism is very serious. it's not a receding threat. naturally when you go through endless orange alerts and all the rest of it, you get used to it and memories of 9/11 inevitably fade. the inte
