Gosh. I wonder if Preezy Obola will seethe when he reads about this.
'Course, as long as this news only remains on Hotair and FR, he will never hear about it.

If Borat Obama wasn't moved to call in air cover when one of his own Consulates was under attack, I doubt if he'll call in air power to stop this one.
But you never know. It IS election season. There might be some political points to be scored here.

When will we get to see pictures of helicopters evacuating the Embassy, this week or next?
Mr. Obama was golfing again.

Let's see. When is the election? Two weeks? I'm guessing some time after that. And if the balloon goes up before Election Day, the embassy staff knows full well that their job is to die for their party.

To: LeoWindhorse
Do they even have A10s or AC130s or Apaches securing the Embassy? Knowing Obama it will be another Benghazi disaster.
To: Texas Eagle
There is essentially no more “Green Zone”; hope it won’t become a “Black Zone”.

Remember the pictures of the Fall of Saigon? Expect a modern day do over in the not too distant future.
This clown has given the whole circus away! We will soon have a caliphate with all the wealth of Iraq and all the armament that we sent to the Iraqi government.
Not bad for the JV team.

There were claims on Twitter earlier that ISIS had hit the Embassy Compound with a grad.

The largest US mortar is the M120, a 120mm, with a range of 7.2km so drawing a circle from the center of the Green Zone will establish potential firing locations. Narrow the area of interest to known ISIS hot areas and start checking rooftops for evidence. Due to size/weight considerations of the baseplate, this is likely a smaller mortar so the actual range will be reduced along with the potential firing sites.

Sounds like a personal problem.
Maybe they should have agreed to let the USA stay, protect them and give their nascent nation a chance.
