WASHINGTON — The United States can expect a terrorist attack using nuclear or more likely biological weapons before 2013, reports a bipartisan commission in a study being briefed Tuesday to Vice President-elect Joe Biden.
It suggests the Obama administration bolster efforts to counter and prepare for germ warfare by terrorists.
"Our margin of safety is shrinking, not growing," states the report, obtained by The Associated Press. It is scheduled to be publicly released Wednesday.
The commission is also encouraging the new White House to appoint one official on the National Security Council to exclusively coordinate U.S. intelligence and foreign policy on combatting the spread of nuclear and biological weapons.
The report of the Commission on the Prevention of WMD Proliferation and Terrorism, led by former Sens. Bob Graham of Florida and Jim Talent of Tennessee, acknowledges that terrorist groups still lack the needed scientific and technical ability to make weapons out of pathogens or nuclear bombs. But it warns that gap can be easily overcome, if terrorists find scientists willing to share or sell their know-how.
"The United States should be less concerned that terrorists will become biologists and far more concerned that biologists will become terrorists," the report states.

They know what they can get away with now that we’ve elected the 0bamanation
This is why he kept Gates- to help him develop a domestic miltary to control the population
Shades of “Outbreak”
Hold on - the sarcasm detector is twitching - yes, it's definitely sarcastic in tone, with a side helping of snide.
This poster has used sarcasm when referring to the Dear Leader.
Insinuation the the capabilities of the Dear Leader are not up to scratch are not allowed.
You will report to the nearest re-education camp this afternoon.
And the reason they waited until AFTER the election to disclose this to the public?
“Nuclear or Bioterror Attack on U.S. Likely by 2013, Panel Warns.”
I should believe this, why?
Ten years ago, Israel said Iran will have a bomb in five years. Israel still says Iran will have a bomb in five years.
We had pictures of Saddams factories and trucks with WMD leaving Iraq for Syria. Apparently the intel was impeccable. So now a panel says something and we are supposed to run out and go “oh my god, quick give more money to NY to buy whatever.”
Why didn't this "brainy" group recommend upping security in major cities after the 1993 Tower bombing in NYC...or strengthen airport security which Tom Daschle's WIFE lobbied against...
And where did the crud who did the 1993 bombing flee to....Iraq!!
That’s right MSM, pick a date that is more than 4 years out. Take Obama off the hook — for now.
Whew!....good thing we closed the boarders.
I predict an attack before Feb 1st.
Will not happen. Obama’s gonna save us. s/
What Obama needs is a red hot line phone to the UN on his Oval Office desk so when the terrorists nuke a US city he can call for help.
This is why the U.S. is deploying 20,000 troops for domestic operations.
Joe the Biden told us this would happen!
Lots of young male adherents of the Religion of Peace still roaming freely about our country. Probably several thousand at least. More coming in every day.
They couldn’t possibly be up to anything bad now, could they?
