Us special forces captured an ISIS chemical weapons expert last month. Under interrogation the terrorist admitted that ISIS intends to use Mustard Gas in Syria and Iraq:
Iraqi officials told the AP that the man was Sleiman Daoud al-Afari, a chemical and biological weapons specialist who once worked for Saddam Hussein. Al-Afri is roughly 50 years old, the AP reported, and was in charge of ISIS’ research and development unit on chemical weapons. They said he was captured during a raid in Tal Afar, in northern Iraq, last month. U.S. airstrikes have been targeting positions in Iraq and Syria that ISIS might be using to develop the chemical weapons, based on information gleaned from the ISIS detainee, CNN reported.
The question of the day might be, “Where will Obama park this terrorist since closing Gitmo is high on his agenda.”
It’s about time the President started allowing the military to capture these bad guys. This may explain the “campaign” to close Gitmo…could it be a smoke and mirrors campaign for the Democrats and not any serious intention to close the facility at all? This war will continue past the Obama presidency and there’s a good chance we will need Gitmo.
In other news an English speaking jihadi has threatened the US with attacks coming soon that would “kill, slaughter and burn your people.” The video’s title is “A message to America From The Islamic Caliphate Supporters.” Supporters? These guys are calling themselves “supporters” now? How fierce.
And the head of the FBI isn’t taking any of the @#$% Obama and Hillary spew.

My favorite paragraph from Pie’s link:
Obama should remain neutral in the Hillary email investigation…unless of course he’s sent a subpoena. At that point I’d expect him to spill.
You too craven to bring him here? That is sad.
I really don’t know what this country’s come to … such a bunch of bloody cowards, it is shameful.
And a “Paris style” attach? That would consist of some doofus or doofuses opening up on the citizens at random? And didn’t some Uber driver in Kansas do that just recently?
ISIS is more scary?
Really?
Hummmm, could he be the same guy who was involved in make the Iraq WMDs that never existed when Bush was president, that is now being used again?
“If Islamic State used chemical weapons, experts are still uncertain of how the group might have obtained them, or whether it could have access to more.
Another diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Syria’s stockpile was a possible source of the sulphur mustard used in Iraq. That would mean Damascus had failed to fully disclose its chemical weapons programme, which was dismantled under international supervision in 2013-2014, the diplomat said.
“If Syria has indeed given up its chemical weapons to the international community, it is only the part that has been declared to the OPCW and the declaration was obviously incomplete,” the diplomat told Reuters.
Syrian officials could not immediately be reached for comment but have previously denied any part of the country’s former stockpile remains undestroyed.
Syria agreed to give up its chemical weapons stockpile after hundreds of people died in an attack with Sarin nerve gas in a Damascus suburb in 2013. Western countries blame that attack on the government of President Bashar al-Assad, which denies it.
Iraq’s chemical arsenal, part of a “weapons of mass destruction” programme used to justify the U.S.-British invasion of 2003, proved to have been mostly destroyed and dismantled in the Saddam Hussein era, although U.S. troops occasionally encountered old Saddam-era chemical munitions during the 2003-2011 occupation.”

You always assume fear is the motivator. Sound policy, Dearie. These freaks should not be housed in American prisons where they can recruit, nor should they be tried in American courts.
Now Libby, the obvious link here is the Mustard Gas. Are you saying that Mustard Gas released in a theater, a stadium, a school, or during a parade down Fifth Avenue would be fine with you?
The nonchalance you lot display just isn’t working and it’s about time you noticed.
You mean we should all be cowering in our suburbs … like you? I would like to think not.
I like to think that thousands of people, each of whose salaries (and pensions, Juanita) you make a great show of resenting (morons!) … are working hard to ferret out any producers of nasty bio-agents.
But this does not require forbidding Joe-Bow Syrian admission to the country, nor any other abridging of the founding principles.
