Oops - I posted that after Obama was FIRST elected, not upon his re-election. His re-election is the THIRD term of Jimmy Carter.

TWEET: Baghdad Airport workers flee as rocket barrage from ISIS rains down.

Plan A was to evacuate Embassy Staff via commercial airlines.

Plan B is um.....um....um?

The Iraqi Army consists of about 800,000 active and reserve. isis has 10-20,000.

[Star Traveler]

That may be “on the books” for Iraq, but we’ve already seen them “run” when the shooting starts and ISIS attacks. Iraq is an army “in name only”!

[mware]

I read a report in the Daily Mail, they interviewed one of the Iraq soldiers. He said the officers ordered them to surrender even when they had enough troops to take ISIS out.

real name of the guerillas is the “Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant”... I wonder why the media change it........media changed it to ISIS because Isis is ancient pagan super goddess and mother of war....the left is rubbing it in

Wow, they have crap generals just the way the US does.

ISIS stands for Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (al-Sham = the Levant, which is Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Israel); or some just say it stands for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

TWEET:

Fierce attacks on Baghdad airport are now reported from N, NW, W and SW..

If the airport falls, westerners in Baghdad can only be evacuated across the desert. It will be a MASSACRE...

[livius]

I just read that the ISIS rockets hit the control tower.

[Hoodat]

It’s Iran 1979 all over again.

It's worse.

We shall see. God Bless

[driftdiver]

The largest most expensive embassy ever, goes down in flames.

[alrea]

any chance for some drone strikes or even airstrikes after the NBA game?

[mrsmith]

Thanks, obviously the media doesn’t want people aware of the Israel connection inherent in “Levant”.
Using “Syria” (who cares about Syria) will shape opinion better for the Dems.
