State Department worried about non-existent WMD material
Remember those WMDs that weren’t in Iraq? Well, the State Department is worried that the material will end up in ISIS’ grubby paws, according to the Washington Free Beacon;
The threat has been deemed “critical” by the U.S. State Department, which announced on Wednesday that it had inked a new deal with Baghdad to ramp up joint efforts to detect and recover sensitive nuclear materials before ISIL and other terrorist entities can get to them.
[…]
“It continues to be our assessment that there is no indication ISIL has gotten hold of any material that would pose a nonproliferation threat, and no indication frankly that they are actively [seeking it out] … even if they do control some significant portion of territory in Iraq,” the official said. “There’s been no indication, thankfully, that they are on the lookout for what we would consider to be a WMD.”
“And even if they found it they wouldn’t know what to do with it,” the official added.
Concern about these materials slipping into the wrong hands seems to have become more pressing for the United States and Iraq in recent months as ISIL gains control of more Iraqi territory, mainly in the northern and central parts of the country, including Mosul and Falluja.
It doesn’t exist, but we’re worried that ISIS will get it’s hands on something that isn’t there. Makes complete sense to me.
This is just a guess on my part, but we’ll probably need boots on the ground to secure that nuclear material that doesn’t exist.

I never did find a credible explanations AS TO where the WMD material in Syria one year ago came from. Good thing Lurch got it moved out of there. Hope he didn’t park it in Iraq. DOH!
“And even if they found it they wouldn’t know what to do with it,” the official added.”
Horseshit. That one sentence highlights the stupidity and arrogance of the Obama administration. Those terrorists have proven to be masters at jury rigging explosive devices and making them work. But the Obama administration wouldn’t be worried about it until one was shoved up their collective asses. Then they’d find some way to blame Bush.
ArmyATC…Thank you and thank you. That statement was one of the dumbest I have heard out of the State Department and I thought I had heard a lot of dumb assed comments.
“It continues to be our assessment that there is no indication ISIL has gotten hold of any material that would pose a nonproliferation threat, and no indication frankly that they are actively [seeking it out] … even if they do control some significant portion of territory in Iraq,”
Really!!! Not actively seeking it out! Where do these clowns come up with this stuff? That is all ISIS is about is finding and figuring how to use every potential weapon they can. Thank the Lord they can’t make bombs out of raw sand.
The 500 tons of yellow cake uranium shipped to Canada doesn’t count either. Every time you talk to a libtard their definition of WMD changes to fit their narrative about Bush.
Since the State Dept. hasn’t defined what they mean by WMDs, that could be anything from dried snot from a MERS-infected herd of camels to expired isotopic cobalt used in cancer therapy.
They have to be more specific if they expect me to listen to them.
I personally watched as a couple mp’s decontaminated from mustard gas and one suffering facial burns after investigating an ied explosion in northern Iraq and coming into contact with materials that still had some of that stuff on it. But that shit didn’t exist there…
Not to worry, my peeps. Lurch is on it.

Note the part, down the page, where CoS McDonough says: ‘We have to obviously be very careful and very targeted and very limited in our engagement so we do not get dragged into the middle of this’.
Well, that says it all. That should tell you exactly what this administration is all about: DON’T GET INVOLVED.
Anyone besides me remember the stabbing death of Kitty Genovese in 1964 in Queens NYC? Her neighbors did nothing. They didn’t want to get involved.
I’ll just leave this here.

A failure of imagination – 9/11 report
If he really believes that, he needs to be fired. He’s making the same mistakes that resulted in 3000 Americans being murdered.
