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.

In obamathink, if he gives them the nukes they are bound by his command to not use them on the US. Magic thinking is strong with that one ...

Did he clap after he said this?

This is Obama’s plan before the elections, so he can declare marshal law, postpone the elections indefinetely, and go into full dictator mode.

I agree. He has given the Muslims the go ahead. ‘Hope and Change’ what does it really mean. The terrorist have been given the green light by their leader. Just wonder what other materials he has read “The Philosophy of Sayeed Qut”. One of the philosophical founders of Hamas. The guy was executed by the Egyptian Government back in the 1960’s because his radicals views of something called ‘Social Justice’ constituted and end of Islamic political thought to a more radical philosophical value system that consisted of violence. The radicalism of ISIL/ISIS, Hamas, Al-Quaeda, Taliban and etc came about by the educated,now these educated have appealed to the masses. Oddly enough Sayeed Qut received some of his education at the University of Colorado - Greeley (it had a different name probably). The Rules of Radicals from Saul Alinsky is tame to what these people advocated. It is just a thought!

Unless it is a general EMP outage which could only be caused by the russians, (which I don’t think they would), the nuke will happen in a major city or cities leftist shit-hole(s). So that is an unfortunate win.

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
