President Obama said, “We know that organizations like al Qaeda are in the process of trying to secure a nuclear weapon -- a weapon of mass destruction that they have no compunction at using.”
No kidding.
The real question for Mr. Obama is: What are you willing to do about it?
The whole world knew that Iraq, under Saddam Hussein, had WMDs and had already used them. Most western intelligent services, as well as most Democrats and Republicans in Congress thought Saddam had and would use WMDs and was developing nuclear weapons. Given that record, and post 9-11, President Bush was concerned that Saddam would provide al Qaeda with WMDs and if he developed them, nuclear weapons.
While he had used WMDs, in hindsight, it was just the world’s all-time worst bluff by Saddam. He wanted everyone to think he had WMDs and was developing nuclear weapons. He never thought President Bush would call his bluff by invading Iraq.
So now President Obama states that terrorist organizations are trying to get their hands on WMDs including nuclear weapons, and further that they would use them.
