Encircled is not a good place to be.
If they are able to mass a sufficient force and press the attack before reinforcements from Iran show up, Maliki is a goner.
Most likely they will leave the US embassy alone, although I expect there will be lots of taunting going on, and we will have to ask their permission for our people to get out alive.
Now the Miliki Iraqis could use those 400 surface to air missiles stolen in Benghazi by terrorists...OH I forgot ISIS are the terrorists.
The conduct of the Executive branch..."feckless" is as good a word as any, I guess.

Did you watch their video? They are really like mad dogs. I expect they will kill every American then can find.
Obama needs to start the evac now.

I would not bet the farm on that happening. These thugs would love nothing better than to be seen parading our embassy people around as hostages. I am very afraid we are going to end up seeing a tragedy unfold on TV if Obama does not evacuate that embassy.
