Will Obama abandon 300 Marines in Iraq; betray them to ISIS butchers?
Coach is Right ^ | 2/20/15 | Glenn MacDonald, Major USARMY (Ret)

It’s only a matter of time.

The neighboring town of Al-Baghdadi is said to be 90 percent under ISIS control. Even Pentagon flak, ADM John Kirby, admits the main air base at Al-Asad, where more than 300 U.S. Marines have been training Iraqi troops, is under daily mortar attack.

The most recent attack, on the base itself, was conducted by 25 ISIS terrorists, all of whom were killed before the fight was over. Several of the fanatics were wearing explosive vests they detonated before they could be slain.

This was obviously a probe. A much-larger attack is only days or a few weeks away. The Obama bootlickers in the Pentagon Public Affairs Office would have us believe the daily mortar attacks on the main base are “infrequent” and “ineffective.” But how long before the Marines find themselves under heavier bombardment, surrounded and unable to be safely extracted from the bull’s eye they presently occupy?

WHAT IF THE WORST HAPPENS?

A Marine always fights best when he is on the offense. We learned a bitter lesson about that at Khe Sanh in Vietnam. So did the French at Dien Bien Phu.

What is the plan, or is there one?

God forbid the ISIS captures even one Marine in the fighting to come, puts him in a cage and sets him afire. Will Hussein stop his golf game at Palm Springs long enough to...

If they’re going for shock value and staying medieval, drawing and quartering has to be an option.

I disagree, having these Marines killed or worst captured and beheaded in mass would be Obama’s and the democrats worst nightmare. I would bet that for Obama and most democrats the thought of ISIS being able to kill or capture our Marines they know politically it will be over for them. Their week response and plan for ISIS would be hard for the media to cover for them

300 well supplied Marines without bullshit ROE will make short work of this JV team.

Of course the Brass will tell them to tiptoe as they get mortared

Lets hope not. That would only compound the country’s problems...something we dont need. The Congress needs to get a spine and do their job. Its not the military’s place or duty to remove a president not matter haw bad he is. What were seeing is a failure of the electorate and Congress to do their job and duty.

The USA might need a “Pinochet moment.”

Obama probably made a deal so that Iran’s Shiite Militias will get them first

My guess is that if things get too hairy we will send in 3-4 C130’s with a couple of spectre gunships for air cover and scoop them all up and away we go.

If OMuslim was to allow the killing or capture of marines and the public was watching them being paraded around by ISIS this country would explode. BHO would have to hide out at Cheyenne Mountain underground bunker.

If this happens, and, yes, GOD FORBID, it will be time for the American people to stand up. It will be time for A LEADER to call for drastic action.

Your post proves there are a lot of powerful people backing this bastard. He can’t do it by himself unless he truly is the anti Christ.

I believe in order to win this we must become even more barbaric than they are and stop tiptoeing all around the truth about Islam.

I like your positive attitude but I doubt many people would do more than complain. And that’s only those who read the internet and keep up with what’s going on in the world.

I would hope that in this instance, a general would step up and make the extraction, regardless of career.

The younger folks in my office were shocked when I said that Harry Truman would have been impeached had we not used the a-bomb to defeat Japan.

They couldn't fathom that millions would have died in a ground invasion of Japan...after nearly four long years of national sacrifice.

Exactly. I suspect the WH spin team has instructed them to stop talking about that and instead focus on the big stories, like Rudy's comments about Obama's lack of love for the USA.

The plans is wait til it gets real ugly, then order the Marines to Disarm and surrender in the name of peace.

I am going to Vegas tonight and am going to see if they are making odds on Obama Surrendering to Islam. Probably even money now.
