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.

The question is: WHEN and WHERE?

It would certainly go along with the theories about Zero wanting to declare martial law, halt the elections, and declare himself Prez for Life. A nuke strike on an American city would be just the ticket.

When did Captain Oblivious suddenly turn into Captain Obvious?

Did he read a 1960s Cold War novel or something?

Good post, the only change I would make would be to change "we" to "you." Soetoro does not consider himself one of us.

...the various nations are discussing how to stop terrorism and a nuclear attack.

...

Their solution will be to crack down on productive non-Muslim citizens who demand honest government.

Good point. That being said, if he could only kill us all by dying as collateral, I think he would be more than willing to die.

The question becomes ‘which city will the false flag take out’ or even ‘where over the USofA will the EMP be detonated in order to take out a large portion of the obstruction to the globalist oligarchy but leave their “centers of power” in tact’?

“There is no doubt that if these mad men ever got their hands on a nuclear bomb or nuclear material....I would be President for life,” Obama said.

“It would change our world,” he said."

The Law of Averages strikes again! For the first and only time I can recall, I am in complete agreement with something Obama said.

Apparently the possibility that terrorists get a nuke is the only thing that would make Obama care about terrorism.
