Saying enough is enough. >> right. i can remember being a news anchor for many, many years. it seems the past several years all i can recall reporting about vis-a-vis olympics is "will they be ready?" because of the cost. because of the building. it is overwhelming. >> well, it is. and the idea i floated a few months ago -- im not holding my breath for the international olympic committee to accept it. but would be to have a rotation where you would maybe have, say, sydney, london, los angeles, e...

I can remember being a news anchor for many, many years. it seems the past several years all i can recall reporting about vis-a-vis olympics is "will they be ready?" because of the cost. because of the building. it is overwhelming. >> well, it is. and the idea i floated a few months ago -- im not holding my breath for the international olympic committee to accept it. but would be to have a rotation where you would maybe have, say, sydney, london, los angeles, established olympic cities hosting t...

Warning. >> and in recent months ive been told repeatedly some of these terrorist bomb makers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, learning new techniques all the time. nick, dont go too far away. well stay atop the breaking news out of russia. mitt romney knows a lot about olympic games. he ran the winter olympic games in salt lake city. what does he think about the latest threat to sochi? well have that. hes standing by. when jake and i first set out on our own, we ate anything. but in tim...

Problematic from the beginning. then you have the terror groups starting last july saying were going to conduct an attack. then they conduct two attacks killing three dozen people a month and a half ago in volgograd. now, releasing videotapes. theyre looking for black widows. theyre going door to door in chechnya and gdagestan threatening families of known terrorist groups that they better not have something happen from one of their family members at the olympics. theyre killing stray dogs on th...

So much. that is one theory. o course another theory from a former fbi agent we just spoke with is that the explosives would be smuggled into russia, into sochi to wreak halvoc ther. there is much of the story we dont know. wolf blitzer continues in "the situation room." mr. blitzer, take it away. jake, thanks very much. a possible terror threat involving explosives hidden in tooth tpaste tubes. there are new details coming in. mitt romney is in "the situation room" this hour. after running th...

Restaurants, shops, railroads, transportation. outside of sochi and the venues, these are the vulnerable areas. this warning goes to that point. >> the u.s. military has deployed equipment, hardware, troops in the area in case of an emergency. >> reporter: well, they have, wolf. there are two navy warships in the black sea now, but we are being cautious. that that is really a just-in-case kind of measure. the military is very strongly making the point it will be the state department that would b...

Out of the sky ten days before that, almost simultaneously by two female suicide bombers. nobody quite knew how those blasts occurred, but a lot of speculation at the time was that explosives were brought on perhaps in a large tub of face cream. now, that was before those 100 milliliter restrictions were brought in. that was more linked to a threat emanating out of london. but certainly after both blasts the russians brought in those full-body scanners that many now complain about as an invasion...

Snow, and bitter cold. billions right now without power. thousands of flights already have been grounded. we have full team coverage. im wolf blitzer. youre in "the situation room." >> possible terror threats only hours before the start of the winter olympic games in sochi. the united states is arriving airlines with direct flights to russia to be aware of toothpaste or cosmetic tubes that could be concealing explosive materials. nick paton walsh is standing by in sochi. lets get the latest from...

Complicated region these winter olympics will be held in less than 48 hours from now. >> nick paton walsh. you were just in another dangerous part of that area, dagestan. all of us remember the bombers in boston. their families came from dagestan as well. thats not all that far away. heres the question because you know this region well. lets hope this doesnt occur, but if there were some sort of terrorist attack at the winter games in sochi, who would be the likely culprits, if you will? >> well...

Odds are nothing is going to happen, but the odds are higher than any other olympics i believe that something could happen. and the olympic site itself probably is locked down pretty well. there is that ring of steel around the olympics itself. but getting there and the surrounding areas i would say theres real cause for concern. >> i was disturbed the other day the xharm of your committee, said he wouldnt go, wouldnt want his family members to go, so hes obviously been breeched on whats going o...
