Biden: Major terror attack on U.S. unlikely


On Larry King Live the Vice President Joe Biden stated that he doesn't think that there will be another mass terrorist attack similar to 9/11, despite popular belief. He thinks that instead, terrorist will take a smaller approach. Making attacks similar to the "underwear" bomber on a recent airplane. He is confident that there will be small "attemps" of terrorists but he is confident that administration will handle them well.

I don't understand why he is so confident that there will not be another big attack. From what I have heard, after the recent video by Osama Bin Laden, there is expected to be some sort of big attack if everything follows the pattern of what has happend in the past. It does seem as though terrorist have resulted to smaller attacks lately but I don't think that that decreases the chances of there be a much larger attack. I would feel more confident in Biden saying that he thinks there will not be a mass terrorist attack if he had reason to backup his case. In my opinion we should be on the look out for both small scale attacks and large scale attacks because nobody can know what will happen for sure.
