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.
