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.

Bingo!
Now that’s a good one.
We should have just Nuked the place dammit.
So the Iranians aren’t trying to build a nuclear arsenal nor ally themselves with North Korea, and really do love Israel? /s
Sorry, the political arena in Iran still isn’t amenable to world peace.
They're still filming it.
You’re assuming these idiots are smart enough to be able to fly a plane.
“In California, Obama has worked out mornings at a gym near the Rancho Mirage home where the first family is staying with White House decorator Michael Smith and his partner, James Costos, the American ambassador to Spain.”

Per the Desert Sun article, one of the 4 courses he’s played at in the Palm Springs area was known as the Indio Muni course, which is in the lower tier on quality. It’s improved than earlier years, but not in the same league as a hundred other courses in the area. The others he has played at tend to be all gay, though he did play at Indian Wells, which is one of the better courses around.
Bookmark and bump to your radar link.
Just for those who were not around back then, although Ford was President, the Congress was completely controlled by the Democrats.
And they completely cut off funding to help the South Vietnamese receive arms—no troops—which we had already given them written assurances we would send to them if they were invaded.
We have a Dem President and a Dem Senate who will not restrain him, and once again we will piss away foreign policy gains and our security thanks to their traitorous actions.
Three million people were slaughtered after the 1975 fall of South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. We lost 58,000 men for what amounted to nothing.
Now. untold numbers of Iraqis will die, and we will piss away another 4500 men and women and 32,000 wounded troops—again for nothing.
Except this time, the enemy will establish a terrorist base with which to strike the United States.
John Kerry, Jane Fonda, and the Dems of that era, some of whom still infect Congress to this day, have the blood of those 3 million souls on their hands.
President Obama and the Democrats in power have the blood of the Iraqis on their hands now.
And in both cases, they do not care one whit.
More importantly, the Gitmo five were released 31May14.
Mosul attacks began 11Jun14.
The recent attacks on Baghdad began 14Jun14.
In terms of operational military planning, major operational milestones are staged at 15, 30, 45 and 60 day windows.
Watch what will happen circa 30Jun or 4Jul14.
This is a preplanned operation with Obama in the middle of it.
Why is the Ambassador to Spain not in Spain?
Zero plays an all gay golf course?
I’ve heard of weird things, but this is news to me.
Thanks for the info
Will Obama beat Carter’s record of 444 days?
He left birddog in the Taliban’s hands for 5 years.
Tin foil is on aisle four.
I agree
Whether they love Israel or not is Israel’s problem and I am very confident that Israel is perfectly capable of handling that threat.
The nuclear reactor is a white elephant that will probably never amount to anything and the economic state of Iran at the moment means they would be happy to trade it for readmission to the world community.
It’s not 1979 any more, the world has moved on Iran has changed this could be a golden opportunity for an end to hostilities with Iran, it’s certainly what the Iranians want.
If Nixon could make peace with China and Reagan could make peace with the USSR I see absolutely no reason why a deal couldn’t be made with Iran.
A friendly Iran would be a lot more helpful to the US than the so-called alliance with Saudi Arabia, an alliance whereby the US fights for and defends Saudi Arabia and the Saudis repay the favor by flying jet airliners into buildings in NYC and DC.
Seems to me it’s a no-brainer.
Proliferation of nuclear weapons by any small extremist group engaged in asymmetrical warfare is everybody’s problem, not just Israel.
Anything is possible of course, what I am saying is that if you take a LONG, let’s say fifty questions or more multiple choice test on a subject you know nothing or even very little about you will have an extremely hard time making a zero. It is like trying to flip a coin and have it come up heads twenty times in a row. You may do it but you will spend many days flipping trying to do it once. If you don’t believe me just try it if you can find such a test to take. Simple arithmetic tells you that even if there are five choices to each question you will on average score twenty percent correct purely by accident. The only person who can consistently make a zero on multiple choice tests is one who could make a perfect score if he wished or has someone feeding him the answers. Obama is simply a puppet who has someone telling him what to do to create the greatest possible havoc. Jimmy Carter is a good example of incompetence but even he did not do the wrong thing every single time. Attributing the disaster going on now to simple incompetence is just not logical, like believing John Dillinger robbed banks because he was too stupid to make a deposit. Even Joe Biden has been known to say things that make sense, he does not have the power of the presidency to do things but as dingy as he is he gets it right on occasion.
