OH SWELL – AT 9:31 A.M. ET:  We used to say that the nightmare scenario in the Mideast was WMD falling into the hands of terrorist groups.  The nightmare appears to be going live.  From International Business Times: 

International Business Times – According to a recent report published in the journal Middle East Review of International Affairs, or MERIA, militants of the Islamic State group used chemical weapons, including mustard gas, against Kurdish fighters in the Syrian border town of Kobani during their first attempt to capture the town in July.

The report, which is based on testimonies from eyewitnesses on the ground, said that the chemical weapons had been transferred to the Syrian province of Raqqa from a Saddam Hussein-era chemical weapons facility located near the Iraqi capital of Baghdad. The report has prompted fears that ISIS could have access to vast stockpiles of chemical weapons, including sarin, mustard gas, and VX, a nerve agent.

COMMENT:  While this story cannot be independently verified, there have been a number like it, saying pretty much the same thing.  So much for the myth that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. It's time for a full Congressional investigation on the status of WMD in the Mideast, although I wonder if the Obamans would cooperate in any meaningful way.  Remember that the "narrative" of the left is that George W. Bush lied about Iraqi WMD to justify our invasion of Iraq in 2003.  I don't think the left, and its journalistic allies, will want to give up that narrative.
