Joestradamus: Biden Predicts Large-Scale Terror Attack on U.S. ‘Unlikely’
Vice President Joe Biden made his latest eyebrow-furrowing prediction Wednesday night, declaring confidently that another Sept. 11-size terror attack is “unlikely” in the U.S., despite signs that Al Qaeda and and other terrorist groups are actively planning more attacks.
Top intelligence officials told congressional lawmakers early this month that the terror network can be expected to try another attack in the next three to six months. But Biden, interviewed on CNN, downplayed the risk.
“Look, let me put it this way. The idea of there being a massive attack in the United States like 9/11 is unlikely, in my view,” the vice president said.
And if I’m not mistaken, there weren’t too many folks who could ever have conceived what happened on September 11, 2001, that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. It’s amazing that anyone ever lets this guy even open his mouth, much less speak!
But Biden may have a long way to go before he can call himself a true Joestradamus.
He admitted in an interview last July that the administration had been way off in its estimates of how the stimulus package would affect the unemployment rate, having “misread how bad the economy was.”
Personal opinion, if Biden says it, consider the opposite to be more accurate.
Now the veep is making economic predictions again, saying late last month that the U.S. should start to see a net increase in job creation on a monthly basis, starting in the spring.
From what I heard of the ‘predictions’ on the radio this afternoon, I don’t think 95,000 jobs are going to take care of the 125,000 needed.
Biden on Wednesday did not rule out the possibility of a terror attack in the U.S. — he said a future terror attack might take an unfamiliar form.
Well, considering that “profiling” is a no no, and many are coming into this country, who do NOT want to assimilate, and Iran is working real hard to get nukes, well, yeah….it might be a different form. But like I said many times in the past, if we can’t profile, isn’t that an open door for the possibility? Remember the Crotch Bomber? If that plane had come down on Detroit, many more than those on board could have died.
Dear Mr Biden:
LOL… Joe’s a hoot and a half. I think we’ll see more Ft. Hood style attacks in the future. I hope I’m wrong.
I pray you’re wrong too, but I’m afraid you may not be.
