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...

My main hope is that the military knows they can whisk they out of there if need be.
And it think its obvious to most of us here it ain't gonna limit itself to over there this time.
If that occurred, Obama would be impeached and even the Democrats couldn’t save him.
Not commenting on the article but would like to add:
I ask God to bless and keep these Marines safe! I humbly ask that He send His angels to protect and guide them....and that He gives these Marines wisdom....that His love, mercy and grace show no bounds where these Marines are concerned....that He make His Presence known. In the name of Christ Jesus, Amen.
I hope those Marines ignore orders and counter assault , to victory , if attacked .
I hope that some have sat-phone access to call media here in the States if they are unsupported with air support if attacked . Like at Benghazi .
Get that info to certain members of Congress and at the Pentagon if it starts happening . Immediately .
Not all in Washington are sycophant pussies
I’m not doubting this report about daily mortar attacks and suicide vest jackwagons getting wasted by our Marines. But the guys here at work are after I told them about it.
Are there any other sources for this information?
Either last night or the night before I saw it on a “crawl” at the bottom of the screen on a local news show.
Here ya’ go: Not much coverage from American media.

It is easy if it is just some name less men over there. It is different when it is your boy!
Khe Sanh was no “Din Bin Foo”.
I have no idea what you’re talking about.
A new thread just started about the Mossad team that took out the terrorists of Munich one at a time. A post from the thread answered my first thought, did Reagan do that, too? Yes...

So Reagan is vindicated and I am going through all my old posts to let everyone know. Might be easier if I do a vanity post and ask forgiveness.
