Well, here’s some lovely news emerging from the new Iraq.
17.09 Chemical weapons produced at the Al Muthanna facility, which Isis today seized, are believed to have included mustard gas, Sarin, Tabun, and VX.
Here is the CIA’s file on the complex.
QuoteStockpiles of chemical munitions are still stored there. The most dangerous ones have been declared to the UN and are sealed in bunkers.
Although declared, the bunkers contents have yet to be confirmed.
These areas of the compound pose a hazard to civilians and potential blackmarketers.
Numerous bunkers, including eleven cruciform shaped bunkers were exploited. Some of the bunkers were empty. Some of the bunkers contained large quantitiesof unfilled chemical munitions, conventional munitions, one-ton shipping containers, old disabled production equipment (presumed disabled under UNSCOM supervision), and other hazardous industrial chemicals.
17.05 The Chemical Weapons Convention, which Iraq joined in 2009, requires it to dispose of the material at Al Muthanna, even though it was declared unusable and “does not pose a significant security risk”
However, the UK goverment has acknowledgeded that the nature of the material contained in the two bunkers would make the destruction process difficult and technically challenging.
I’m sure the terrorists can find some diabolical use, even for “unusable” chemical weapons.
ISIS also reportedly is flying its flag over a key Iraqi oil refinery.
President Obama delivered a bloodless statement on the situation today. He declared that the US would not be sending any troops into combat, but would send 300 “advisers” to help train the Iraqi army.
The US military spent a decade training the Iraqi military, with far more than 300 advisers. The training doesn’t seem to have stuck.
“...after Sham, after Iraq, after Jazeera (Saudi Arabia), we are going for you Barrack Obama!”

Nah...there are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Hans Blix told me so.
This makes no sense. These terrorist suddenly find all these chemical weapons that didn’t exist or we could not find or destroy in 11 years?
This is disturbing news. If they can in any way use these chemical weapons to inflict serious harm and further their cause, they will.
Now you know Saddam did not have chemical weapons!
Yeah, all those government propaganda outlets and the Democrats are going to have to contort themselves to explain how they could possibly have missed some widely known facts...
It will be even more interesting to those of us who are not idiots, when the same liars have to account for the real time and openly published satellite photo coverage of the Russian lead convoys that moved even more deadly types of WMDs (best guesses at the time were they were biological)into Syria,for safekeeping, as the USA began attacking Iraq.
But don't worry, Eric Holder is in charge of Justice, Obama is President, and Pelosi and Reid overhauled the USA healthcare system!
SARCASM TAG, along with my all but ignored tagline.

Charles Blow just pushed his racist pro-Zero line, complaining that Dick Cheney should not criticize Zero about the mess he’s created in Iraq, because Cheney was behind the supposed lies that led to nine years of US war in Iraq.
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
Many of the Sunni Iraqis joining ISIS are Saddam loyalists. They’d know where these things are
guess my sarcasm was’t showing
Next time some greenie liberal whines about a chemical spill from old rusted steel drums I intend to inform him that he need not get his panties in a wad over it because it’s just old expired stuff.
Update : In January 2015 we reportedly killed Abu Malik, one of Saddam Hussein’s chemical engineers, as he was hanging out with his fellow ISIS terrorists.
Interestingly, Mosul is where ISIS fighters have turned up with Ebola.
