But, speaking at a news conference in Australia today, the President insisted he would personally order the operation should the U.S. uncovering the terrifying intelligence.

He said: 'There are always circumstances in which the United States might need to deploy U.S. ground troops.

'If we discover that ISIL had gotten possession of a nuclear weapon and we had to run an operation to get it out of their hands, then yes, you can anticipate that not only would Chairman Dempsey [the top U.S. general] recommend me sending U.S. ground troops to get that weapon out of their hands, but I would order it.'

Wow. ISIS has stated that they WANT U.S. troops to come fight them, so Obama has just sent them a message to go out and find a nuke. Obama wants ISIS to have nukes. This is beyond an outrage that he would say this.

Well this couldn't happen. Obama doesn't even know where his security briefings are held.

Obama probably would say he didn’t know about it until he read it in the newspapers.

Obama says he WOULD order U.S. troops into ISIS territory - if they capture a golf course.

RE: "I”m sure he’d love to put our troops in the reach of a nuclear explosion."

You got it!

For years in general it's been warnings that if an enemy has nuclear weapons it'd be suicide for invading troops should it become necessary to go to war against that enemy.

seems like they have some of that yellow cake or the means to build a weapon. I wonder if their ability to build and deploy WMDs is somehow linked to the WMDs that Iraq moved and dispersed prior to the invasion.

Yes, he would. Then they could nuke our troops instead of shooting or beheading a few at a time!
