WND learned from sources that the jihadists closed down escape routes, and the U.S. Air Force was in a stand-down position. U.S. forces were not assisting even with air cover so a private extradition flight could land for a rescue, the sources said.

Privately scheduled exit flights had fallen through, sources said, as several private pilots originally scheduled to make the flights quit.

The sources contended the U.S. military could provide the necessary air cover to protect C-130s or other air transport craft sufficient to make the evacuation, but far officials had refused to get involved.

Officials had refused to get involved? Obama refuses to get involved in this mess of his own making...for the Muslim Brotherhood?

Why do they need air cover? Stingers?

We should just change our motto to “embrace the suck”.

It will be wonderful if we can somehow get the Iranians to send troops to help the Shiites in Iraq. The Iranians shouldn’t let the Sunnis get away with what they’re trying to pull!!

Relax. Obama will help Iraq by giving refugee status to 10m Iraqi Shiites as they flee the al Qaeda onslaught.

During the cartoon riots in Morocco an armored column appeared at the compound where GD personnel maintained Morocco’s tanks. They took the GD personnel to the airport and guarded them until they were all on a jet and airborne. When the riots were over Morocco guaranteed their safety and invited them back. They returned. The government in Arab countries know that if the tanks stop working they are in serious trouble. If I recall they have 400 M60’s. (Oh, and a bunch of other assorted frames from Soviet to German.)

So, our president was unwilling to allow our Air Force to rescue 200 Americans from being overrun and having their heads cut off by jihadist maniacs, but the Iraqi Air Force had no problem taking time off in the middle of their bloody civil war to help our people.

If only a single one of the 200 rescued Americans who were abandoned to death by Obama has the courage to speak out about the outrage that was committed against him and his 199 colleagues by our president, Obama’s presidency will be in a shambles, and cries for his impeachment will deafen the heavens.

But is there a single person of courage among the 200 who will speak out?

I wouldn’t count on the pilots coming back from Dubai for another load of passengers. These poor people will be left behind.

Thank God someone cared enough to get them out! I called our congressmen's offices and their staffs told me they were "monitoring" the situation but it was up to the President and they saw no reason to push him on this.

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

Fist comes Benghazi, where we leave Americans to die, then we trade 5 prisoners for a deserter because "we don't leave Americans behind," and now we leave 200 more Americans behind. Did I get that right?

Unbelievable. Our own people who are being threatened, get evacuated by Iraqi’s to Baghdad, which is a city under siege whose defense is being run by an Iranian General and 500 Iranian Quds forces. These are US citizens left behind by Obama. Great that someone helped them, but wondering why Obama left them to die and you have to wonder what the Iranians will do to them in Baghdad.
