Obama says nuclear terrorist attack would ‘change our world’
Washington Post ^ | April 1, 2016 | Josh Lederman and Darlene Superville | AP

President Barack Obama said Friday that the world faces a persistent and evolving threat from terrorists who are eager to unleash a devastating nuclear attack. “It would change our world,” he said.

Hosting his last nuclear security summit, said the world has measurably reduced the risk of nuclear terrorism by taking “concrete, tangible steps.” He said no terrorists have thus far obtained nuclear material, and he praised recent moves by Argentina, Switzerland and Uzbekistan for getting rid of their stockpiles of highly enriched uranium.

Still, Obama said, the prospect of the Islamic State group or other extremists getting a weapon remains “one of the greatest threats to global security.” He pointed out that IS had already used chemical weapons and that al-Qaida has long sought nuclear material.

“There is no doubt that if these mad men ever got their hands on a nuclear bomb or nuclear material, they would certainly use it to kill as many people as possible,” Obama said.

“O’s Iranian comrades have listed their top nuclear bombing targets, fwiw. By memory they include nyc, wash dc, la, sf, Chicago and I seem to remember either Vegas or Boston. At other times they’ve threatened Rome and London uk. Of course, they could attack any USA or western city”

The ones threatening are all low grade. Think any city that has a port in which a container ship can pull up to, or a commercial jet with a kamikaze pilot that originates from outside the USA and detonates above a major city.
None of it is good.

Wow, talk about a “no fooling” statement. But I thought he said climate change was worse than a terrorist attack.

It sure would. For one thing it would become Muslim-Free within 48 hours.

“It would change our world,” .....

Well odumbo you dumbass, that was what you promised and it appears its about to come true. You’re about to get the “hope and change” you asked for and the rest of us will be the victims.

Just imagine the tongue lashing Americans would get from Hussein if we got ourselves nuked by muslims.

Bingo, that is what I highly suspect.

Isis said Brussels was a dress rehearsal for North America, and they have something far bigger planned.

We are all being played for fools.

My fear is it will be a simultaneous attack on multiple college campuses. They can blend in real easily there.

The nuclear attack is the Deep State’s last card. We’ll have to wait for that a while longer, there’s still considerably more FUD to generate before then, for example with articles like this.

In the meantime, USGOV censors the French president, lies about every muslim attack, imports thousands of muslim terrorists, supports muslim terrorist groups across the Mideast, and continually diminishes the few Freedoms we have left.

Jihad: As American as Apple pie.

Obama plans to be in Latin America yukking it up with his communist pals in November and December.

In July of 2008 he said he would be POTUS for “the next 8 to 10 years”. Which could only happen if something catastrophic happened before a new POTUS could be inaugurated.

Like in November or December of his last term...

It would “fundamentally transform” the country.
