US President Barack Obama on Tuesday played down prospects for a spectacular Al-Qaeda attack 10 years after the September 11th strikes, saying he worried more now about solitary extremists.
"The most likely scenario that we have to guard against right now ends up being more of a lone wolf operation than a large, well coordinated terrorist attack," he told CNN television during a campaign-style swing through Iowa.
"We still have to stay on top of it, though. We're never letting our guard now, that's part of our job," said Obama, who vowed "heightened" security measures and "extra vigilance" ahead of the grim anniversary.
He had been asked about the prospects of a terrorist attack either to mark 10 years since the strikes on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center or in retaliation for the May raid in which US commandos killed Osama bin Laden.
Obama said US officials were "constantly monitoring potential risks" but said a punishing US campaign had left Al-Qaeda "a much weaker organization with much less capability than they had just two or three years ago."

Yeah, sure.
They’re busy patting down toddlers, grandmothers, and nuns in wheelchairs, and radiating people with pacemakers, while they let Muslims through the airports and over the borders without a glance.
Fretting? Between Gunwalker, handing the Chinese our helicopter, and writing checks to our enemies sounds more like he’s encouraging and financing attacks.
The irony here is that the AnointedIdiot has claimed to be like Abraham Lincoln and JFK....both of which have what in common?
The Anointedidiot is one delusional, fear-mongering, NPD-ridden jackass. =.=
So the “Bama has already got the team in place for his “Lonewolfe” terror attack!?!
Leftists are more concerned about the Tea Party than Al Qaeda.
He means Practicing Muslims!
"The risk that we're especially concerned over right now is the lone wolf terrorist, somebody with a single weapon being able to carry out wide-scale massacres of the sort we saw in Norway recently," said Obama.
He was referring to Anders Behring Breivik, who shot dead 69 people, many of them teenagers, in a July 22 rampage on the island of Utoeya after killing eight others in a bombing of government offices in Oslo.
"When you've got one person who is deranged or driven by a hateful ideology they can do a lot of damage and it's a lot harder to trace those lone wolf operators," he added.
Disgusting comments from our "commander-in-chief", who is basically saying that Tea Party members are a bigger threat than AQ.
“we’re never letting our guard down”.....
BUT—we have yet to PUT THE FENCE UP!!!!!
Our heroic President, shirtless Putin-style, single-handedly tackles the lone wolf in Times Square while The Battle Hymn of the Republic plays in the background.
Our hero then retires to Martha's Vineyard for a game of touch football.
Then he confiscates everyone's 401K.
My paranoia warns me to be alert for a false attack followed by martial law...
...for our own good (and for the children).
Obama only frets because he hasn’t, as yet, figured out how he’s going to blame any such attacks on Bush.
Somehow Obama must inherit these future attacks.
Get ready for a false flag event ala the Norway massacre. They’ve probably got 12 different brainwashed zombies programmed to go off at any time. A government this lawless is capable of anything, no matter how heinous.
We have secured the borders, we have the best screening at our airports, the police state is working very well in most cities.
And hey...everybody around the world loves us more than ever now!
How about Hasan...a PC Muslim....Never should have happened!!
That lone wolf was easy to trace...But he was a Muzzie...
Don’t be so paranoid. Do you actually think this guy is smart enough to pull off a “phony” attack? Do you think anybody in the military or intelligence services would help him? Won’t happen.
And I am sure the newly-promoted BATFE architects of Gunrunner/Gunwalker would be more than happy to oblige.
“...Do you actually think this guy is smart enough to pull off a “phony” attack? ...”

Oh, my paranoia runs deep...
In my scenario, Obama is not trustworthy to know the truth
and the powers behind the scene never tell him about the plan
which also gives him plausible deniability.
