There were many who were flown out last night before midnight, one article said 300 but that count could have been before the 200 were left there to be removed yet. The companies were sending planes to pick up their personnel...so how many left?

Iran was sending troops (10,000 last count I heard??) in to fight ISIS....another issue in and of itself. Iran being Shiite and the ISIS Sunni....maybe the Iraqi forces were Sunni that ran, and can’t religiously fight their religious counterparts??

It is a situation where the US armed both sides...ISIS and Iraq gov. And the only ones who can stop it are our enemies in Iran and helping the Assad gov fight the rebels. A stronger push for an independent Kurdish state could involve Turkey, a member of NATO. Are we still arming and training ISIS in Syria? Are we still trying to goad Russia into a situation where they could cut off oil to pro-Kiev govs?

Yikes.
