Obama: If ISIS Had Nuke I Would Send Ground Troops

This weekend at a press conference in Brisbane, Australia, President Barack Obama said only under the extreme circumstances of ISIS obtaining a nuke would he then “run an operation” to remove that weapon from “their hands” with U.S. ground troops.

Obama said, “If we discovered that ISIS had gotten possession of a nuclear weapon and we had to run an operation to get it out of their hands, then yes you can anticipate that not only would Chairman Dempsey recommend me sending U.S. ground troops to get that weapon out of their hands but yes I would order it.”
