What are the chances of another 9/11 like attack ?

How likely is a 9/11 style attack? And what effect do you think it will have on the US economy ?

To say im worried is to say the least.

Apparently a seven percent chance is what a defense advisory panel has told the Pentegon. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/11/04/seven-percent-chance-of-a_n_345843.html I believe our beloved United States of America would be brought to its knees if it did happen. War is expensive.

I would say that the chances of another "9/11 like" attack are 100%.

This is not a "If" but a "When" question. We have to take a step back and objectively look at the motives and the methods of modern anti-American anti "The West" terrorism in order to see this "When" not "If" perspective.

We already know modern terrorists are willing to die themselves in order to hurt us or forward their cause, we already know they are willing to send their women, wives, sisters, and children to die in order to gain ground in their fight against America and "the West", and we already know that modern terrorists are very adaptable and like the Velociraptors in "Jurassic Park" they are testing the fences, they are figuring things out, they will have nuclear weapons soon.

They will use the US Constitution against us... they already are.

What would have to be wrong in your life to make you go to these lengths in order to hurt or kill your enemy? What would have to be wrong for you to happily send you daughter to her death via suicide bombing in order to hurt or kill your enemy? Something would have to be so so tragically, destructively, and perilously "last resort" wrong with your life for this to make sense right? If your life had become so so so wrong that you were willing to go to these lengths in order to destroy your enemy would you *ever* stop trying to kill your enemy? I do not think any person, parent, husband, brother, sister, or wife would ever EVER stop if they had been brought to this level of last resort "Kill'Em All" my enemy must die behavior

Well this is the truth, this is the life, this is the perspective of the modern terrorist.
The terrorism will not stop, the terrorism will only adapt and get more destructive, more adaptively creative, and although we might slow them down for a time or stop them for a moment there is no way we will ever be able to say that there will never be another "9/11 Like" terrorism attack. There will be more.

This is not a matter of if, this is a matter of when... and by what exponent larger will be the number of deaths and the number of perceived by us to be innocent lives lost? Remember the terrorists do not see you and I as civilians or as innocents at all. To the terrorist we Americans are all soldiers, we are all guilty, and they are willing to go to any length to stop us, to kill us.

Our economy is one of their enemies too..

When not if.

“The chances of another 9/11 are very small, but the number of people traumatize­d by TSA groping is very large. This story is headlining the Drudge Report every day - lots of people are getting upset. Pistole and Napolitano could cost Obama his re-electio­n.

I dont think this attack will happen again because America is now fully secure and america has kept a great cover on the Pakistan-the place of terrorism. so i dont think it will happen i think if it will happen it will more likely to be on Germany

Consider the following facts:

Osama Bin Laden was a friend of the US. President George Bush (Sr) gave weapons and funding to the military to teach Afghanistan how to fight against the Soviet Union in the 1980s. In fact, Bin Laden’s family was friends with the Bush family (due to backgrounds in oil).

In 1994, two planes were high jacked and crashed into buildings. Another plane lands near the white house. But, the events that occurred on September 11, 2001 were such a shock.

Many of the buildings affected by the attacks on September 11, 2001 were emptied (or many of the employees weren’t at work).

-quote
(September 11th, 2001) Recovery experts extract data from 32 WTC computer drives revealing a surge in financial transactions. Illegal transfers of over $100 million may have been made through some WTC computer systems immediately before and during the disaster.
-end quote

Then, there’s the “pancake effect” meaning, the building did come down the way it should have if it were crashed into by a plane. That means that there was more than just planes exploding that day.

So, to answer your question, based on the fact that the government aided the “mastermind” behind the attacks, had much information about pending attacks and did nothing, I would say that the chances of another attack like September 11, 2001 (which I refuse to call 9/11) are great. The government frequently ignores information, aides political figures considered to be a threat, and continually sweeps incidents under the rug.
