A U.S. contractor in Iraq told WND the Iraqi Air Force has begun evacuations from Balad Air Force Base, where 200 American contractors were trapped by the al-Qaida-inspired jihadists who have seized control of two cities and are now threatening Baghdad.
Frank Biggs, a contractor with Sallyport Global, told WND through a Skype instant message that he was transported from Balad to Baghdad and was communicating from a C-130 preparing to take off to Dubai.
Biggs said 300 in total have been evacuated from Balad and another 100 are still awaiting airlift. He said the Iraqi Air Force is trying to evacuate everyone by midnight local time.
WND previously reported Friday that private contractors who have recently returned to the U.S. from Iraq said their former colleagues effectively had been abandoned by the U.S. military and were fighting for their lives against an army of jihadists surrounding the base who belong to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS.

“so a private extradition flight could land for a rescue”
I wonder who was rescued that required special instructions like this.
Ahh yes. Our uniparty congress is carefully monitoring. Hope that doesn’t interfere with their dinner schedules or tee times or something equally horrible.
Complicit is a good word to describe Congress.
The GOP is morally bankrupt.
A Sunni Prince wrote his recommendation for college and probably paid some of the costs.
Thank God!
“The GOP is morally bankrupt.”
Oh it goes well beyond that. They’re complicit if not actively collaborating in our eventual demise as a country and a culture.
The way to understand the uniparty of which the gop is just one faction is to think about a prostitute dying in a gutter. If you or I or most Americans came up on that, our natural reaction would be to get help! To call an ambulance!
For a member in good standing of the uniparty, their first reaction is to wonder if there’s enough time to get in quick hump before she expires.
Soonee.
Who will be the modern Hercules to clean the Augean gop stables...
What U.S. Air Force? Where are they? I thought there were NO U.S. soldiers of any kind in Iraq...
When you play back every time that was said, it was always “leave no one behind...in UNIFORM.”
“Who will be the modern Hercules to clean the Augean gop stables...”
Hercules isn’t coming. WYSIWYG. I suggest getting right with your tribe and finding an enclave to your liking.
“What difference doe sit make anymore!”
Oh, too early.
This PR video made in last few days pretty much shows me what these ISIS scum are about... Pure evil... Extreme video warning... WARNING ...

AGAIN WARNING, BLOOD GORE...
Well video got deleted... sorry about previous post.
He can’t be bothered with such trivialities. He’s got fundraising and golf to tend to.
Screw impeachment, we’re w-a-y beyond impeachment. We’re into treason territory.
Obama is on his way to Palm Springs for a fundraiser and golf according to Megyn Kelly.
In a better world, his own Cabinet would remove him. He is incapable of discharging his duties.
Obama is a Sunni.
200 American civilians trapped in a free-fire zone?
“What difference, at this point, does it make?”
*SPIT*
And here i was so worried about the Dear Leader and all the work he does, that he is not getting enough R&R,
