ISIS In Iraq Have Saddam Hussein’s WMD, Was George Bush Right To Fear Terrorist Attack In America?
Inquisitr.com ^ | August 12, 2014 | Staff

Posted on 08/15/2014 11:30:40 AM PDT by lbryce

With the ISIS in Iraq having access to old stockpiles of Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction, some websites are now claiming former President George W. Bush has been “exonerated.” Some even go so far as to raise the fear of ISIS in America launching a terrorist attack. But are there actual limits to the Iraq WMD stockpiles the ISIS fighters have managed to recover?

SNIP

For example, this is what a website called Political Ears published the other day:
“President Obama is currently meeting privately with his cabinet to discuss the news from Iraq that ISIS has discovered scores of Weapons of Mass Destruction that Saddam Hussein had hidden before the start of the US Invasion in 2003. The UN security council is scheduled to meet for an emergency session…. Jihadists now control nuclear, chemical, and biological WMD, creating a global crisis of the highest order. It is now believed that ISIS is now able to threaten the US Homeland with a mushroom cloud of destruction in as little as 10 hours. ISIS has called for a summit with participating axis of evil nations to discuss strategy.”

If this story was true, I would think it would be more widespread, more readily reported than by just this one not very well known site. The fact that I don't see this story reported anywhere else has me most wary, skeptical as to its credibility.

That big ole inspector said....We'll never find them unless they show us where they are.

Remember, that had planes buried in the sand.

Think tunnels...

ISIS isn’t going away until they are utterly wiped out...If Al Qaeda can split and emerge into a crazy blood lust faction - as did certain elements from Madhi Militia (Shia) in Iraq during OIF - the answers on what needs to be done is very clear - regardless of how politicians stomach it...

Bush’s Military found 550 metric tons of Yellowcake in 2003 and had to sit on it for a couple of years as it was buried close to Iran border. It was what he and Cheney had said was in Iraq, and you can’t build a nuclear bomb without yellowcake...uranium. The WMD they said were there were found and sold to a company in Canada...about 2008.

The YC was quietly removed from Iraq, shipped to Canada and sold, it was reported in AP, Reuters, Canada Free Press, HOWEVER THE MEDIA IGNORED IT BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO BUSH, EVEN FOX NEWS! Go to archives of Canada Free Press and look it up.

I saw an article on the old Saddam stockpiles a while back - my memory (not that great) seems to recall the thinking by the “experts” was that everything would be so degraded by now, it would be difficult if not impossible for ISIS to use it in any significant way. It would be dangerous for ISIS to mess with it, too.

Well as long as there aren’t any unobtanium bombs then there really aren’t any weapons of “mass destruction” now are there? I guess any bio or chem haz weapons don’t count. But mr. valerie plame said on his visit, in between tea parties, that he ascertained that hussein of Iraq (not hussein of the US) didn’t have any. Case closed. Oh, and by the way Scooter, you’re going to jail for having a bad memory.

Just heard on Fox News that the black ISIS flag was flown a few miles from NY.

Al-Baghdadi is coming y’all, as he promised, because he knows that NYers are disarmed and a soft target.

The weapons makers of Al Qaeda were some of the greatest re-purposers in the world. They would take apart hundreds of different kinds of munitions and re-purpose them for IEDs, VBIEDs, pressure bombs, etc.

Just because the original weapon might not work anymore, doesn’t mean they can’t make something else out of it.

Suck the USA in. Suck the USA in. And the beat goes on. Any other countries trembling India? China? Who? If any other countries feel threatened, like them be the first to send troops.

I was in Bagdad when Stars and Stripes unveiled news that BIAP had just shipped it the last of the Saddam yellow cake stash the day before. They did it and then let the Civil Affairs talk about it to the medias the day after it was shipped.

BUSH FOUND WMD IN 2003. Bush AND CHENEY SAID SADAAM HAD PURCHASED from Nigeria Yellow Cake AND 550 Metric tons were sold TO A CANADA COMPANY IN 2008.

Media will NOT report or admit, because they would have to apologize to Bush and Cheney!
