Noting planned though. Just random act of armed insurgents right? There are no terrorists, just misguided zealots who read the koran wrong. Or something. Heads up Marines. Lock and load.
Bombers make it onto Iraq base used by U.S. troops
OOrah... Live Fire Exercise.
Way to go, boys...!!!
Funny Fox doesn’t seem to think it is important enough to have prominently placed on website.
I needed to read it more than once to understand that it was the eight suicide bombers who were killed by an ISF counter attack, and not hundreds of U.S. Marines.
Anyone else have as much of a problem reading this sentence? (I'd suggest that Columbia U might have as many QC problems creating journalists who can write coherently as it has creating US Presidents who can govern the nation at all.)
I arrived at the job site one morning, and a few of the Marines were ribbing one of their buddies. Seems he had detected 3 sappers trying to come onto the base from the north, the night before, and the guard spotted them from the tower he was in, killing all three. He was pretty stoked about it, but was reminded by his superiors to keep it on the down low (no end zone celebrating) but since I was a fresh face that morning, the Marine's buddies made sure I knew and were more than happy and willing to spread the good news. The young Marine was all smiles... word about base attacks spread like wildfire, so I already knew about the attempted breech. It was a moment I enjoyed that morning, by being allowed to share in the Marine fraternity. We did some fist bumping, hand shaking and oorah-ing, out of sight of the Marine's superiors... and damn it felt good.
Said 8 attackers, might have been smoked on approach to the base, inside the serpentine arranged concrete road barriers leading up to the gate, just inside the gate, or further on the base. There would have been automatic weapons including anti armor weapons manned in a watch tower, and on the ground. It'll be interesting to see where the firefight (if that's what it was) took place.
It's good to see that ISF took the attackers out.
They were probably there to sign up for covered California but instead got covered with dirt.

THE QUESTION IS......WHERE IS THE COUNTER ATTACK TO RETAKE Al-Baghdadi?
The enemy has no aircraft, no tanks soooooooo?
I can just imagine this dirt bags thinking while he worships a dead god mohammed than the living Christ who still is saving lives from the eternal pits of the wailing and gnashing of teeth condemned spirits!
It smells like a Camel Humper.
Then it MUST BE A Camel Humper.
Kill them all and let God sort it out.
