From the NYDailyNews.com:
ISIS will be in position to get nuclear weapons if allowed to consolidate power, resources, says expert
by Joseph Cirincione
The jihadists terrorizing the Middle East have seized billions in assets through stolen banks and oil fields. If left unchecked and allowed to make the right connections, they could secure the material and expertise to make a deadly weapon of mass destruction.
The risk of a terrorist attack using nuclear or chemical weapons has just gone up.
ISIS is willing to kill large numbers of innocents, and it has added three capabilities that catapult the threat beyond anything seen before: control of large, urban territories, huge amounts of cash, and a global network of recruits.
British Home Secretary Theresa May warned that if ISIS consolidates its control over the land it occupies, “We will see the world’s first truly terrorist state” with “the space to plot attacks against us.”
Here is what way too many people don’t understand about ISIS:
Its seizure of banks and oil fields gave it more than $2 billion in assets. If ISIS could make the right connection to corrupt officials in Russia or Pakistan, the group might be able to buy enough highly enriched uranium (about 50 pounds) and the technical help to build a crude nuclear device. Militants recruited from Europe or America could help smuggle it into their home nations.
And Mr Obama wants to “negotiate” with Iran about nukes, bargaining away one manner of helping to ensure ISIS doesn’t get its hands on fissile materials? ISIS doesn’t have to possess an actual deployable weapon per se; all it has to do is acquire sufficient material to create a dirty bomb.
This is not only tactically insolvent on Mr Obama’s part, it is another in a series of capitulative moves by our Apologist In Chief, the EOTUS.
Raised by Communists and Muslims, Obaka falls back to his roots when pressed or pressured.
Mr Obama doesn’t even deserve a seat at the kid’s table during Thanksgiving.
And yet, he’s in charge of our nation.
The greatest threat to the United States of America isn’t illegal immigrants. It isn’t the budget, It isn’t the sequester. It isn’t the southern border. It isn’t Vladimir Putin. It isn’t even Islamic terror, though ISIS is getting close.
The greatest threat to the United States of America is Barack Hussein Obama.

I agree with you totally.
and his minions.
How incredibly bizarre that I can send a Tweet to ISIS. @ISIS_Med
Is that not one of the most strange things of which you can conceive in today’s environment?

And stranger still if you get a reply!
Ummm…IS he the greatest threat?
I tend to think that the greatest threat is COMPLACENCY. It seems to be an infection that has quelled the the resolve which Americans once had to fight back by whatever means is necessary to preserve their beliefs as well as the democratic freedoms of our great nation. That complacency includes the politicians who are too comfortable in their jobs to fight back and get their hands dirty and it infectiously spreads to the people.
Of course, the president’s strategy of allowing millions of illegals to flood the country helps his cause. They are duty-bound to him as they are dependent on his hand-outs, They are given the right to work and to vote and to get driver’s licenses all while living off of our tax dollars….and spreading the measles too.
I wonder – has the history of the American Revolution ALSO been removed from text books and school curricula? Maybe that subject was replaced with courses on taking selfies and wasting too much time with social media. Take away freedoms and nobody cares. Turn off the WiFi and HYSTERIA ensues. There may come the time when the WiFi DOES go down when bad times come and by then, and only then, will people wake up and realize that the time to stand up for their rights and freedoms as come….and gone.
It is past the time when the United States and the rest of the “civilized” world go after ISIS with whatever it takes and destroy as much of it as possible. The problem is that Europe and the US are now led by gutless Leftists who haven’t the spine to do what it takes to kill as many ISIS fighters as possible and they are joined by the sheepish citizenry of all those countries.
