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.

But apparently doing preemptive strikes on these terrorists planning to obliterate us with nuclear attacks is not an option... Thanks, Obama.
More hope and change from obummer.
It’s a “go code”.
You don’t say!!!! Did Obama’s genius brain come up with that all by himself?
anti-defecation Holmes agrees.
At least he didn’t make the mistake of saying it would “cross a red line”.
Yea sure Obama...Giving Iran a pass was a great solution
Simply stunned as to how brilliant the lyin’ king is. WOW! I feel soooooooo inferior to his supreme intellect. Or not.
And exactly how did Argentina, Switzerland and Uzbekistan “get rid” of their stockpiles?
“April Fools! I gave the terrorisrs nuclear weapons to use against us for our sins, and now we must die by the orders of Allah.” -Soetoro
This is Islam-o-speak for green lighting a nuclear attack on the part of Obama to the Islamic world.
It’s a pink line...
Is that why he is encouraging it with his Iran “deal?”
“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.
Which is why I gave IRAN, the World’s largest supporter of Terrorism, NUKES!!
Logic 101. Obama wants to change the world. Obama says a nuclear attack would change the world. Therefore a nuclear attack is almost guaranteed.
Time to buy some 12 million sunscreen.
Hey, you know, “embrace change”, right?
Maybe if the terrorists attack the US with nuclear weapons, Obama can declare a national emergency and cancel the elections, and stay on as president . I wouldn’t put anything past him.
Well, Obama did promise change.
