Don’t worry Fox just announced Barry is going to pow wow with Iran. They will know what to do.

>> American blood shed in vain to secure Obama’s political goals.
I agree with the exception that no soldier’s sacrifice is ever shed without meaning regardless of any reckless asshole up the chain of command.

CNN is reporting between 50-100 marines have been sent into the Green Zone to protect the Embassy and “Most” of the embassy personnel are still inside the Green Zone.
This is shaping up to be Benghazi to the 10th power if the ISIS takes Bagdad. 50-100 marines agains’t thousands of these maniacs.
Oshameful is on the golf course. Surreal!

All I’ve seen are a bunch of ragheads in Toyota pickups with AK-47s.
The problem is the Iraq forces just turn and run.

CNN is now showing the same Bush 41 that just played last hour on Fox. Fox has a rerun of Greta and the OJ story.
My take on this is that they don’t want to tell us what is happening. I have a terrible feeling about our embassy and all the people there. Supposedly only 50-100 marines are there for protection and several thousand personnel.

I guess I am just thick, but could you explain what that could mean? The Battle of the Alamo (February 23 March 6, 1836) was a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution.
Following a 13-day siege, Mexican troops under President General Antonio López de Santa Anna launched an assault on the Alamo Mission near San Antonio de Béxar (modern-day San Antonio, Texas, United States).
All of the Texian defenders were killed.
Santa Anna's cruelty during the battle inspired many Texiansboth Texas settlers and adventurers from the United Statesto join the Texian Army.
Buoyed by a desire for revenge, the Texians defeated the Mexican Army at the Battle of San Jacinto, on April 21, 1836, ending the revolution

This mess will eclipse Tehran in ‘79. Those clowns are not being run by “wise” men as the mobs in Iran were. These guys are killing everything in their way.
We will be strafing the roads by Friday, with our embassy in flames and Americans dragged through the streets.
This is not going to end well. And Obama already knows it.

No incoming aircraft to Baghdad Airport now via Flight Radar. Maybe it doesn’t take flights at night.

And 100 Marines will shred those rag heads to pieces. But will they be overwhelmed?
We will know soon.
