A three word text was released from inside the Embassy about six hours ago: “Too late Alamo.” That message is open to interpretation.
Just minutes ago news came from within the United States Embassy in Baghdad that the Iraqis have shut down internet service for those barricaded inside. Limited text messages via private cell phones are still coming through.
It is unknown how many of the more than 5,000 U.S. civilians in Baghdad are actually taking refuge inside the embassy compound. NBC war correspondent, Richard Engel reported last night that civilians in and around Baghdad have boarded up residences and businesses.
The embassy lockup is a reminder of when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in August of 1990 and U.S. civilians were held hostage for months, including those from the State Department and Department of Transportation.
This week ISIS terrorists operating in Iraq have toppled Fallujah, Ramadi, Tikrit, and Mosul, robbing the Bank of Mosul for more than $450 million dollars. ISIS leaders now claim they are the richest terror group in the world, topping al Qaeda and Hamas. This militant group has vowed to overrun Baghdad, the nation's capital, and eliminate the Shiite ruling party.

Zer0, with his teleprompter, his fund raisers and his staged photo ops has been all along the president imposter—they don’t call him Zer0 for nothing.
Can you imagine him going up to the satellite image touch screen and putting his finger on the image of an ISIS pickup truck and saying, “What is dis?” while clearing out the entire screen? I can imagine him asking, “Where are the snacks around here? Can’t we have some peanuts?”
I can imagine him whining like a little bitch in the White House War Room. He would make everyone so annoyed they would hand him his golf bag and tell him to go play a round of golf—or two.
IA 444 is en route. The info on the Ruskie Flight says it’s at an airport that doesn’t report departures.
It was a major FOB with an airfield just outside of Baghdad on the northeast. Very close to the heavy Shi’ite Sadr City, Shaab, and Ur neighborhoods.
I met the family who were 1st stopped by Saddam Hussein’s troops in Kuwait entering town of Jahra from Iraq on RTE 80.
When they opened the door at 6am the Iraqi Troops asked if they could use their house they would be back That evening..
They saw all the Palestinian boys who were spies for the Iraqi’s who went to grade school with the Kuwaiti’s dressed in Military fatigues
the family took off in their 4 SUV’s thru the desert a few hours to Saudi Arabia..
Ford was President in 1975.
I imagine a few million Cambodians are picking at his flesh today. Along with Nixon.
CNN have apparently asked if there are endangered animals in Iraq.
WTF?!
I doubt it’s going to be landing in Baghdad.
TK 802 from Istanbul is late departing.
Hussein said years ago that he was planning to push gas up to the 7 dollar range. This was a promise of his.
Yeah, or late reporting.
Time to impeach obama
Although it would have made world oil markets dangerously unstable. .my first choice (after a quick demolition of the Taliban in Afghanistan) after 9/11 was the Saudis. 15 of 19 came from there and their vicious wahhabi teachings have continued unabated.
But it’s hard to go after an enemy who keeps the economies of many nations functional.
It’s an ugly mess.
No one will come to their aid. If they used the word "Alamo," that can't be good. We all know what happened at the Alamo.
I have been looking at modest predictions and they are not good. $6/gallon gas would be catastrophic. I am hoping it has significant impact on the mid-term elections. If the Democrats had not fought against the ANWAR and the Keystone Pipeline, we would be better positioned for a Iraq oil shutdown. The Democrats need to go.
Unfortunately, we don’t have the leadership, or the backbone as a country, to replicate what happened after the Alamo.
In lighter news.
Jihadists celebrated the capture of Mosul with chocolate cake

You are absolutely right, I thought of the Keystone Pipeline when I heard that news...of course it is just a predication at this point.
Yes, and also said by that guy he appointed as Energy Department leader..
Let’s not blame Obozo, entirely. Everything this incompetent Islamacist has done could have been predicted in 2007. Thfe welfare teatsucking Americans as well as the fornicating single moms, and entitled minorities as well as insane liberals gave us this monstosity. We did it to ourselves. eVERYTHING THAT6 ISW HAPPENING WAS PREDICTED CORRECTLY BY mITT rOMNEY!
