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.

We need to take a firm line with these swarthy vandals, like the Deputy State department spokes woman did with Putin Last week:
“These actions are unacceptable, and will be met with increasing costs.”
A lot of times, strong words like that work with bullies like raping and pillaging terrorists on a mission from Allah. Allah, after all, has a wallet, too. Hit Allah, hard, in his pocket book, and ... poof! ... suddenly he’s not such a tough little man.
Then we’ll see if the German’s will take the Alamo a third time. I’m just sayin’ is all.
The next 24 hours will be interesting.
Got an Iraqi Airline plane IAW167, originating from Iran, heading into Iraq now.

Apparently this may have slowed them down on the way to Baghdad. .
Well, that would work too, as long as these dirt bags don't have missiles that could bring down the Buffs.
My guess too...
Not sure what its doing then, because its in totally the wrong place
ISIS looted US made 155mm howitzers. They have some serious firepower. Do they have people who can use it?
Probably an instruction manual they can print off the net.
I’m sure Obama will send over some advisers!
Good detective work!! That’s exactly why I try to verify anything I see on Twitter.
