The inference in the last paragraph dilutes the report needlessly.

Those troops are certainly fortunate that Hillary Clinton isn't still the amateur secretary of state. But wait. Field Marshall Barry will guarantee that the same botched result.

Are these troops prohibited from being armed?

The death knoll on this parasitic evil regime will surely ensue if only one of those Marines get captured and baked alive in a cage. Then America will be all set for Iraq War III.

Has the pentagon stopped making US casualty reports? What has been the US casualties in the last 6 years? More importantly the last year. What the heck is actually going on? When Bush was President we heard about every individual service man/woman getting a hang nail. Maybe it’s just that I haven’t seen the reports, in the Bush years you could avoid seeing them.

Obama is a serial LIAR and a traitor. It doesn’t matter what he is talking about.

Lol, this is hyperbole.

“Security forced reportedly killed 8 Islamic militants who had breached the outer perimeter of the base”

8 died but mostly due to detonating their suicide vests when they came under fire from the IA. And I do not consider driving off the road towards an IA check point, coming under fire and getting blown up to be a ‘breach’ of a perimeter.

As for all that other stuff air power is working them over pretty good. They should have stayed in Syria. Oops, can’t do that either because of the Jordanian air force.

Rear Adm. Kirby says we should make too much out of this.

The Obama admin at the helm of any war is very dangerous.

And our enemies know that. They are making lots of ground.

They have 2 years or more to run rampant.

Imagine if the famiulies of American soldier had to see a video with their loved ones paraded around in cages and burned alive.

Funny how the MSM can do a 180 on what it chooses to report depending on which party is in power. During the Age of Obama I there have apparently been no U.S. military killed overseas, no homeless, no poverty, lower unemployment, and a happy happy populace. It's almost miraculous.

The administration wanted the Amb. taken hostage, and that is why no one was allowed to go in.

We were/are supplying arms to AQ and like minded groups, this war under the democrat fascists is going to explode very soon.

If that happens, every living Congress-critter needs to be subjected to demonstrations outside wherever they are sleeping at night, demanding Obama be impeached, convicted, and hung as a foreign enemy combatant. God knows we’ve got enough evidence to convict, in a sane world.

Not really. I guarantee our 300 won’t die.

There are remedies for a stinkbomb like Obama.

Problem is none of them have the guts to do it.

Nice catch.

This would be a massacre if Field Marshall Barry didn’t permit our ‘training’ force to be armed.

Gee. I didn't see the Washington Pest in the lower right of the map. If this would force the complete removal of the rest of the text I fail to see why.

From the Wall Street Journal:

A group of Islamic State militants penetrated an Iraqi air base where U.S. military advisers are training Iraqi forces, the first time attackers have gotten beyond the outer perimeter of an Iraqi base being used by American trainers.

His legacy? That hasn’t begun yet. He plans to be head of the UN and rule the world. The U.S. Presidency is small potatoes to him.

Considering Obama traded 5 of the most dangerous terrorists we had a Gitmo for one deserter, it will be interesting to see what he does for 300 “boots on the ground” Marines. Not that they need his assistance, but remember all the rhetoric Obama had about Bergdahl. Let’s see if he lives up to that rhetoric now.

Didn’t some news stations routinely end their shows with the current war death stat during President Bush’s presidency?
