No mention of the 200 American construction workers surrounded at the airport?....did they make it?
There is a thread about evacuations here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3167451/posts
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??
