Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel warned earlier this week that ISIL cannot be left to seize any more areas in Iraq and Syria, where it also controls about half the country.

The terror group will not end its radical mission “unless the U.S. along with our partners and coalitions stop it,” Hagel said Wednesday during a speech.

“You gotta destroy it. Because if we don’t destroy it, it will get worse. And it will get wider and deeper,” Hagel said…

Until and unless the root underlying cause of this is eliminated (that root cause being Islam), we will just be playing footsie with a hydra. Cut one head off and two will grow in its place.

I thought there were no WMD in Iraq...

It will be ok...Obama will manage ISIS. Well,Obama will coach ISIS on how to kill Americans.

[mindburglar]

I hope the US government can find somebody to do something about it. They seem so helpless.

Hey Chuck....you are a late to the party pal

International World Washington, July 11, 2014 Updated: July 11, 2014 21:55 IST ISIS seizes ‘low grade’ uranium from Mosul University, by Narayan Lakshman

The militant outfit Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has seized nearly 40 kg of uranium compounds used for research purposes at Mosul University when it overran that city last month, and now that poses a risk, “in Iraq or abroad,” according to an Iraqi government letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

“Terrorist groups have seized control of nuclear material at the sites that came out of the control of the state,” said Iraq’s U.N. Ambassador Mohamed Ali Alhakim in a July 8, 2014 letter initially obtained by Reuters, adding that despite the limited amount believed to be in ISIS’ possession such materials “can be used in manufacturing weapons of mass destruction”.

IS are Obama’s “sons”.

They will be allowed to bring these materials to the US
and the Tyrant will direct them to get these materials
from US storehouses.

Meanwhile, SSDD, Congress, EXEMPT, fat and protected
... will do nothing to stop the destruction of the USA.

Earlier reports were that they already have radioactive materials that they captured.

Whew! We’re all safe now. The U.S. State Dept. inked a deal (FED ink on paper?), the borders are secure, NSA is second to none, the drones keep a close eye on things, the CIA & FBI are well-equipped to handle anything and the IRS is on the job with computers humming.

Time to go shopping per Jorge.

Let me get this straight. Saddam Hussein, who openly threatened the US, was safe possessing “low-level radioactive and radiological materials”, because he was ‘contained’.

But now its dangerous for ISIS to have it?

[TalBlack]

“U.S. and Iraqi authorities have jointly ramped up their efforts to prevent terrorists from acquiring nuclear and radioactive materials as concerns mount that Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS) is seeking to recover these sensitive materials and use them in a terror attack.”

Ok, so les’see: The very best thing that could possibly happen, from the perspective of an America despising 60’s, blood-drenched and utterly unrepentant radical is a dirty bomb attack on both coasts, necessitating martial law and the controlled moving of survivors enmass to designated places, (call this “1.00”) And just such a person having access to the highest level of American power (call this 2.00”)...now what is 1.00 + 2.00?

[sten]

this is the reality GWBush was presented with on 9-12

and they never even had a chance to make it a reality ... until 0failure

if anything happens, we MUST DEMAND he be held accountable and put in prison

anything less would be unacceptable

[sten]

ISIL now controls about half of Iraq, potentially giving it access to some low-level radioactive and radiological materials, according to a State Department official.

I wonder when, not if, a dirty bomb goes off in LAX or DFW who the libtards will blame?

[backwoods-engineer]

Smuggling? The southern border is so wide open, they could drive a thermonuclear bomb in a truck full of illegal alien kids right on through, over the interstate highways, and right up Main Street of some state capitol, “like the mailman bringing bad news.” (quote from the movie Short Circuit)

U.S. and Iraqi authorities have jointly ramped up their efforts to prevent terrorists from acquiring nuclear and radioactive materials

They're now ramping up efforts? Excuse me, but why weren't our efforts already at 100%? It couldn't be because hussein has been slipping some out to his muzzy bros, huh?

[bgill]

the United States is “not aware of any cases of these types of material being smuggled out of the country thus far,”

There are so many things wrong with that statement. Is the "US" our military or our dear leader? "Not aware" is the motto of our government these days. "These types of material" can be anything and they admit the bad guys could get it from hospitals. "Being smuggled... at this time", uh, but what about the previous time or a known time in the near future? "Out of the country", snort, but what about smuggling it into the country or that it's already here?
