FOX said two interesting things about the fall of Ramadi this morning:

1) The attacking force was outnumbered by the defenders, who abandoned their positions.

2) ISIS attacked under cover of a sandstorm, so US aerial surveillance (and bombing) was disabled. It’s just like the climactic battle scene in “Dune.” Also, you’d think that the defenders would be prepared for this type of attack... it’s not like they’ve never had sandstorms before.

4 to 6 Warthogs could have taken out the entire parade!

We could bomb them during their parade.

The sky was clear.

"The attacking force was outnumbered by the defenders, who abandoned their positions."

The leadership of the Iraqi army is pitiful. I believe when you attack a force on the defense, the textbook says you should have a 3 to 1 advantage. It seems that was switched the other way around in the Iraqi Army's favor and they still blew it.

Of course, and there is no possible way we didn’t know this was happening. NO POSSIBLE WAY.

They must have a reason to believe the coalition will not attack them. What is this reason i wonder?

I remember the “Highway of Death” pretty well.

Especially the part where Colin Powell freaked out over the imagery and used it to convince 41 to stop the ground war early. Giving Saddam’s remaing and still equipped and armed forces a back door out of Kuwait and home.

Where they were then used to brutally put down a number of anti-Baathist insurrections that popped up.

For cryin’ out loud, why didn’t we take the scum out with a few drones or jet fighters? An opportunity lost, thanks to the worst POTUS in American history.

There is reason to believe our servicemen are in danger. Both in Iraq and Afghanistan. If they were threatened by something very serious and coordinated, Odumbo would Benghazi them all in a heartbeat.

They didn’t “take them out” on purpose. It’s the only real answer. There is NO POSSIBLE WAY that our military assets did not know this was taking place in real time. NO POSSIBLE WAY.

The military pulled the trigger on the Highway, not the White House. The wienies in the Oval Office were horrified when ‘tank plinking’ and video of the Highway hit CNN. Those charred bodies are why Bush stopped the advance into Iraq, when he could have finished it.

Doesn’t it seem ridiculous that ISIS would hold a big party at this time? There has to be more to this story.

ISIS knows the score. It’s the Americans that are being duped. It’s not ridiculous at all through the correct prism.

If Iraq still has some WMDs you might want to use them before ISIS gets to Baghdad. There’s alot of desert in between.
