16.32 Isis jihadists have seized a chemical weapons facility built by Saddam Hussein which contains a stockpile of old weapons, State Department officials have told the Wall Street Journal:
Quote U.S. officials don't believe the Sunni militants will be able to create a functional chemical weapon from the material. The weapons stockpiled at the Al Muthanna complex are old, contaminated and hard to move, officials said.
Nonetheless, the capture of the chemical-weapon stockpile by the forces of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, known as ISIS or ISIL, the militant group that is seizing territory in the country, has grabbed the attention of the U.S.
"We remain concerned about the seizure of any military site by the ISIL," Jen Psaki, the State Department spokeswoman, said in a written statement. "We do not believe that the complex contains CW materials of military value and it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to safely move the materials."

? man. Just split the country in 3 already. The ? are we doing? Forcing 3 peoples who clearly dont wanna be together to be together.
Split that ? up, create a sunni state, a shiite state, and a kurdish state, and call it a day. -
Can't wait until they start using them.
The US will be in Iraq again before next year, more Bechtel and Lockheed Martin contracts....
More soldiers coming back with scrambled brains and a diminished national infrastructure.
Should be a fun news cycle. -
wait a minute.....I thought we supposedly destroyed all that ? when we were there
ain't that the WMDs we went over there for? -
Now we have to send more troops back over there to fix a situation the American government facilitated. Terrible situation and i especially like how fox news was trying revise history saying that the reason Iraq was occupied to plant the seeds of democracy and the purpose of staying over there is to stabilize the government to prevent it from becoming a terrorist state....? is worse now than before cowboy Bush decided to live out Alexander the Great fantasy

No. The US gave Saddam chemical weapons in the 80s to use against Iran, so they knew he has those. It was pretty clear that Bush & Co., went in looking for nuclear weapons...that he didn't have. -

I hear you bruh.........but that ain't what they were telling us when we got there and ? starting issuing us jslist for the invasion
when we did patrols everybody was supposed to be looking for ammo and nerve agent stockpiles
SMH @ the US pulling out and leaving that ? behind after all that time spent there -
Russia don't want it. Chess. Not checkers.

The Middle East, South Asia and Northern Africa....
Somebody, please refresh my memory:
Why is it the United States' job to police the nations in these regions?
I said it before and I will say it again.....
Living in these countries is like taking a trip 1000 years back in time.
Let them live their lives the way they see fit. This is their culture.
And you wonder why they hate us? -

but on the other hand when does personal responsibility come into play

Let Israel use the Samson Option and turn it all to glass.

as good as it might sound to say just leave them alone and let them fight it out i don't think that would be a good idea because this could turn into a sunni vs shia religious war real quick. This group does not just want to take iraq they want syria also. Iran will back the shia and the arabia states will back the sunni.
this ? could get real ugly. -

Sound like a win-win to me. Let them squab it out and whoever come out on top send them a gift basket and call it a day. -
So I guess this means....

No because it's just going to spread to other places in the middle east and who ever comes out on top might be worse than the people we have to deal with now and not only that they will be much stronger. What the people who follow this islamic fundamentalist ideology want is basically a kaliphate which would be a another islamic super state like the ottoman empire used to be. The world does not need that ? now things are to unstable -

Whoever comes out on top would most likely be weaker because of years of warfare. I doubt any involved party would completely and definitively crush opposition and completely consolidate power. United States has the most powerful and well funded military in the world and we couldn't even do that. Western world should be more concerned about them uniting than them fighting if anything.
