The American Embassy in Baghdad plans to evacuate a substantial number of its personnel this week in the face of a militant advance that rapidly swept from the north toward the capital, the State Department announced on Sunday.

The embassy, a beige fortress on the banks of the Tigris River within the heavily-secured Green Zone, where Iraqi government buildings are also located, has the largest staff of any United States Embassy.

I’d love to come back in 100 years and see how the presidency of Barack Hussein Obama is judged by history.

Obama will fare quite well in books available in the North American Zone of China's Greater Co-Prosperity Sphere.

We should have had a mass evacuation a few days ago—overland to Basra and then out to the Gulf States, if necessary.

But the State Dept. never likes to give the impression it is panicking...

Nah, the little Chicoms will be taught they were always here. Since the beginning of time.

We will be erased.

I told you......

Between 50 and 100 Marines and extra Army personnel have now arrived at the US Embassy in Baghdad, a U.S. official told CNN.

Special Evacuation squad i bet, will we see them blow up the embassy rather than let the rebels get it?

Aside from all the American’s safety, didn’t the US Taxpayers get hit for $2,000,000,000.00 to build the world’s largest embassy complex. I guess it will make a nice headquarters for the ISIS terrorists (who, by the way, are Clown Prince nobama’s and mclame’s friends from Syria). You’re welcome, in advance.

Thank You Jet Jaguar.

The Democrats LOVED The fall of South Vietnam, another country fell to Communism.

Ubama will Love the Fall of Iraq, a huge stepping stone towards a Greater Caliphate.

Somehow I feel that someone will come on the world stage and say “Hold it folks, I’ve got the answer to all this strife. Just give me control for a bit .....”

( Note RPG/grenade/IED defensive measures )

Not even a surprise Delta Force welcome party for them when the arrive at Al-Kindi Street in the International Zone Baghdad?

Apparently they are still hiring:

Any bets that ISIS will avoid the US Embassy like the plague, on the Saudi string?

I don’t know how to compare this fiasco,Vietnam or Cambodia? probably a combination of the two. May the Killing Field Games begin! Let’s just lay back and be Umpires for now, and see how it goes before we become a team player. This can escalate in no time, so beware. Its not that America is weak, its our leadership that is running a muck, and the dumb asses want more of the same for 2016?
