Holder Voices ‘Extreme Concern’ About Terrorist Bomb Makers
NY Times ^ | July 13, 2014 | BRIAN KNOWLTON

Posted on 07/13/2014 7:30:08 PM PDT by Innovative

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. expressed “extreme, extreme concern” on Sunday over reports that bomb makers from Yemen responsible for the 2009 underwear-bomb plot are now in Syria cooperating with foreign militants there, possibly to develop new, nearly undetectable explosive devices.

Asked on Sunday whether that threat was a “clear and present danger,” Mr. Holder responded: “I think it is. In some ways, it’s more frightening than anything I think I’ve seen as attorney general.”

ISIS gets its hands on nuclear material

http://www.worldmag.com/2014/07/midday_roundup_isis_gets_its_hands_on_nuclear_material

Loose nukes. The ISIS terror group in Iraq has seized about 88 pounds of uranium kept at Mosul University, Reuters reports. The uranium is not weapons-grade, but it poses a large enough threat that Iraq is asking for international assistance to respond. “These nuclear materials, despite the limited amounts mentioned, can enable terrorist groups, with the availability of the required expertise, to use it separate or in combination with other materials in its terrorist acts,” wrote Mohamed Ali Alhakim, the Iraqi ambassador to the United Nations, in a letter to Secretary General Ban Ki-moon obtained by Reuters. ISIS has taken over a large chunk of territory and effectively erased the border between Iraq and Syria.

Geeze - I’m sure glad he’s concerned. Whatever would we do if he wasn’t concerned. Guess he got his concern from Kerry who was concerned. I’m concerned.

Now they may be reaping the consequences.

No, WE may be reaping the consequences. They have bodyguards and private planes.

Absolutely nothing keeps these liberals up at night. They feather their own nests and care less all the disasters they cause. Holder and Obama want more power and money and that’s their priority. Domestic terrorism? They tell him to say that.

That's why the Obama Administration is arming, training and funding terrorists without the approval of the American people or Congress.

The so-called individual terrorists are nothing but just one more of Holder's many lies.

Holder has been a disaster. In any sane and just country he would be arrested and imprisoned.

So why did they let all the Gitmo Terrorist generals go? Is that scary to Holder, or are they on his payroll now?

I think of Holder and his ilk as homegrown terrorists.

When they become experts at making bombs, Holder will welcome them as they walk across the Mexican border, and make sure they are well placed in American society, where they can do the most damage. What a$$ holes these liberals are.

Sure Eric, whatever you say.

To the extent he is ‘concerned’, the remedy will end up being Martial Law and the further dismantleing of our Constitution, that is, unless We the People stop it.

“To the extent he is ‘concerned’, the remedy will end up being Martial Law and the further dismantleing of our Constitution, that is, unless We the People stop it.”

This is exactly the plan.

Just saw an article where Holder is calling the US a nation of cowards.

And of course he is engaging in trying to inflame racial tensions.
