Again, that has little to do with the discussion of the possibility of a WMD being acquired by IS and being smuggled into and used against the US.

To compare someone getting their hands on a gun and saying it's as realistic as terrorists going nuclear is just plain dumb. Anyone can get their hands on a gun, but nuclear weapons are.....less available.

It's the same thing with the bombs used in attacks, they are often home made. You can't really make a homemade nuke.

IS somehow acquiring 'lost' WMDs, having the capacity and resources to ACTUALLY use them and smuggling them into the US is pretty much an impossible scenario.
