ISIS Seizes Iraqi Chemical Weapons Facility

Below are excerpts from a  story by the Associated Press - Read carefully...
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Iraq said the Islamic State extremist group has taken control of a vast former chemical weapons facility northwest of Baghdad, where 2,500 chemical rockets filled with the deadly nerve agent sarin or their remnants were stored along with other chemical warfare agents. Iraq’s U.N. Ambassador Mohamed Ali Alhakim said in a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon circulated Tuesday that “armed terrorist groups” entered the Muthanna site on June 11.
Alhakim singled out the capture of bunkers 13 and 41 in the sprawling complex 35 miles (56 kilometers) northwest of Baghdad in the notorious “Sunni Triangle.”
The last major report by U.N. inspectors on the status of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction program was released about a year after the experts left in March 2003. It states that Bunker 13 contained 2,500 sarin-filled 122-mm chemical rockets produced and filled before 1991, and about 180 tons of sodium cyanide, “a very toxic chemical and a precursor for the warfare agent tabun.”
Last week, proclaimed leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi declared the establishment of an Islamic state, or caliphate, in the land the extremists control.

  1. Before 1991, huh? That is, in Bush 41's term. Before Clintoon. And it's still there and didn't get moved off to Syria? Huh. Soooooo, has CNN and Air America and HuffPo all released apologies for that 8 years of total bullshit they put us through?

  2. Yep more lies from the lame stream media. 2500 biologically Sarin and cyanide filled rockets are just minor weapons of destruction. So what do you suppose these crazy ISIS terrorists are gonna do with these rockets? Most likely attempt to send them to Israel if they can make them work.

    Now that pic above looks like Al Gore's ManBearPig. Just in case you haven't seen ManBearPig.
