>>>Well that's a lot different than saying a NUCLEAR detonation is imminent, is it not?<<<


Wouldn't say it's a lot different.

per·il (pĕr'əl)
n.

Imminent danger.


"Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof -- the smoking gun -- that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud."


Translation: Facing clear evidence of imminent danger in the form of what may well be a nuclear bomb. How do you interpret it any other way?
