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.

“Whats Joes record on being correct?”
Let’s see.
“Six months into his administration, he’ll be tested, tested. And he’ll have a spine of steel.”
Zero was NOT tested in six months, and his secretary of state tried to bribe the Taliban.
He also predicted that the Surge would fail.
Hm, I think we have a genious here.
As opposed to O'bama, when it's a big bore attack.
I think they still have time to blame Bush
Yes. I was relieved seeing as I am a long time Saints fan.
Sounds like he is taunting to me.
ROFL! So Zero has a perfect record with his endorsements then.
Aye! That he does.
The same thing was being said on 9/10, too.
You’re a jackass, Joe.
Slow Joe Biden. Al Qaeda's best recruiting "tool."
The Obama administration and the Pelosi/Reid congress ARE the threat we face. The federal government destroys or has destroyed more wealth and liberty than any raghead could hope to.
Dumbass!
Oh, God, we're in for it now.
I haven’t been very worried about another big 9-11 type attack - until now. Slow Joe is so wrong so much of the time, now I’m nervous.
Just guessing here, but the word “jinx” must not appear in Joe’s abridged and illustrated dictionary.
Well, coming from Biden.... Who knows what he means, or if he would know it ten minutes after he said it? The guy cheated on his IQ test, and still had to add a digit in the telling.
I dare you, Abdul! I double dog dare you. Yeah that’s right, I said double dog...Whoa, what is that? Man, that is some kind of sharp... Maybe I shouldn’t have said dog... I don’t suppose you’d want to come by my place for a beer?
“...unlikely the United States will see another terrorist attack of the proportions of the events of Sept. 11,...”
.
That was still in the good old days when they only attacked tall buildings.
oh well, guess that’s different. Small bore attacks. Just a few people here and there will die as a result of DC sitting on their hands. Where in the heck did they get bidin anyway? He is truly a dumbell!!!! Truly.
What is it with Biden spewing forth drivel on anything and everything the past few days. Did someone find his on button? Isn’t there some fact finding mission or funeral for some foreign dignitary that requires his overseas presence.
when ya really dig down, realyrealyrealy dig down, 0biden is saying “the date Sept. 11, 2001” is unlikely to occur again.
genius.
he’s 100% right!
