The world today already has to deal with the Iranian nuclear program. After the Obama agreement with Iran, it is just a matter of time before the ayatollah gets nuclear weapons. The only question left is when and not if it will happen. Now, we are learning that not only Iran but also ISIS has a nuclear program. The ISIS plan is not to develop nuclear bombs. ISIS instead wants to blow up nuclear power stations in the West and use these plants as the ultimate dirty bomb.
No doubt, half of you are now thinking to yourselves that I must be crazy to report this. Our power plants and those in Europe are well guarded and hardened against bombs. There is no danger.
Now consider Fukashima. That's the power plant in Japan that got hit by an earthquake and a tsunami and which then found its containment breached so that radiation was spewing from the plant and contaminating a wide area of the country around the plant. It was designed so that such a disaster just could not happen, but it did happen.
We learned today that the same ISIS terrorists who just attacked Brussels were conducting surveillance on the director of the Belgian nuclear facilities. If that man or his family were kidnapped, his credentials could be used to get the terrorists and their bombs past the guards and INSIDE the plant. The outside of the plant might be hardened against bombs, but the inside is a different matter. If ISIS could blow up the cooling system, the entire plant could melt down and burn right through the containment system. That might lead to there being deadly levels of radiation for hundreds of square miles around the plant. It could result in the death of thousands or more.
Just imagine the reaction to this sort of nuclear attack on Belgium or any other country in the West. Sure, president Obama would tell us that Islam is not a religion of nuclear terror and that we must guard against Islamophobia. That response, however, would be swept away by the anger and fear of many nations including the USA. The terrorists would finally get what they have wanted all along: a major confrontation with the West. The death toll would be huge.
It's sad to think that all this is happening because Obama has refused to take ISIS seriously. A rational response by Obama when the problem first appeared could have crushed ISIS long ago. Instead, we got Obama's ideological and political BS. Now we are paying the price for Obama settling for words when deeds were required.
