Another 9/11 Unlikely, Biden Says

Vice President Joe Biden said it is unlikely the United States will see another terrorist attack of the proportions of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, but that the nation could still be the target of more "small bore" attacks.

"The idea of there being a massive attack in the United States like 9/11 is unlikely, in my view," Biden said Wednesday night on CNN's "Larry King Live." "But if you see what's happening, particularly with al Qaeda and the Arabian Peninsula, they have decided to move in the direction of much more small bore but devastatingly frightening attacks."

The attempted Christmas Day bombing last year in Detroit represents the types of threats the country is more likely to face, he said. Biden added that the Obama administration, however, has handled the threat well.

"I've been really impressed with the success we've had, building on the last administration, in dealing with these," Biden said.

In terms of threats to stability abroad, Biden said Iran becoming a nuclear state was "a real concern, not an immediate concern."

More pressing, he said, is the situation in Pakistan.

Yeah, I remember for the last 8 years when you kept going on and on about all of George Bush's successes that you'd like to build upon. Or something. I remember the going on and on part.

I had no idea what a brilliant master spy Biden is. In the past, regardless of what party is in control, nuclear tests have taken the US by surprise. Now we have the most brilliant, most amazing master spy, and his cover is ‘vice president’. Wow!

[RepublicanMeansAmerican]

...but if his boss makes the same comment, we can be certain an attack will occur.
