Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel warned earlier this week that ISIL cannot be left to seize any more areas in Iraq and Syria, where it also controls about half the country.

The terror group will not end its radical mission “unless the U.S. along with our partners and coalitions stop it,” Hagel said Wednesday during a speech.

“You gotta destroy it. Because if we don’t destroy it, it will get worse. And it will get wider and deeper,” Hagel said…

Until and unless the root underlying cause of this is eliminated (that root cause being Islam), we will just be playing footsie with a hydra. Cut one head off and two will grow in its place.

I hope the US government can find somebody to do something about it. They seem so helpless.

International World Washington, July 11, 2014 Updated: July 11, 2014 21:55 IST ISIS seizes ‘low grade’ uranium from Mosul University, by Narayan Lakshman

The militant outfit Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has seized nearly 40 kg of uranium compounds used for research purposes at Mosul University when it overran that city last month, and now that poses a risk, “in Iraq or abroad,” according to an Iraqi government letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

“Terrorist groups have seized control of nuclear material at the sites that came out of the control of the state,” said Iraq’s U.N. Ambassador Mohamed Ali Alhakim in a July 8, 2014 letter initially obtained by Reuters, adding that despite the limited amount believed to be in ISIS’ possession such materials “can be used in manufacturing weapons of mass destruction”.

There’s also the earlier alarm over chemical WMD. Of course, all this is reported without a hint of an apology to W.

Most of what they got in Iraq is medical materials. Syria is the real concern. They clearly have it and have used it in Syria.

IS are Obama’s “sons”.

They will be allowed to bring these materials to the US
and the Tyrant will direct them to get these materials
from US storehouses.

Meanwhile, SSDD, Congress, EXEMPT, fat and protected
... will do nothing to stop the destruction of the USA.

Earlier reports were that they already have radioactive materials that they captured.

Well,Obama will coach ISIS on how to kill Americans.

It won't be direct, but I am sure his Brotherhood people in the White House are making provisions for that training to happen, perhaps tipping them off to certain vulnerabilities and how they can be best exploited such as the weakest points in the power grid and maintenance schedules and the like.

obama NEVER refers to them as ISIS, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS as ISIL.

The name ISIL gives them diplomatic recognition of the right to dominion over Israel.

Whew! We’re all safe now. The U.S. State Dept. inked a deal (FED ink on paper?), the borders are secure, NSA is second to none, the drones keep a close eye on things, the CIA & FBI are well-equipped to handle anything and the IRS is on the job with computers humming.

Time to go shopping per Jorge.

Liberal logic:
No WMD found = WMD never existed

Let me get this straight. Saddam Hussein, who openly threatened the US, was safe possessing “low-level radioactive and radiological materials”, because he was ‘contained’.

But now its dangerous for ISIS to have it?

“U.S. and Iraqi authorities have jointly ramped up their efforts to prevent terrorists from acquiring nuclear and radioactive materials as concerns mount that Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS) is seeking to recover these sensitive materials and use them in a terror attack.”

Ok, so les’see: The very best thing that could possibly happen, from the perspective of an America despising 60’s, blood-drenched and utterly unrepentant radical is a dirty bomb attack on both coasts, necessitating martial law and the controlled moving of survivors enmass to designated places, (call this “1.00”) And just such a person having access to the highest level of American power (call this 2.00”)...now what is 1.00 + 2.00?
