A number of militants have been killed in Islamic State's very first battle with U.S. ground troops after the extremists attempted to overrun an Iraqi military base.
The militants attacked Ein al-Asad military base on Sunday where more than 100 U.S. military support troops are based.
Despite launching the surprise attack just after midnight, ISIS's offensive was swiftly repelled when U.S. troops and F18 jets joined in the skirmish in support of the Iraqi Army.

Uh, who’s side are we on this time? Let’s see, the militants are ISIS and they don’t like Assad ... we are supporting Assad, indirectly? Or is it the other way around? Does anyone really know?
You’d think our own news media would find the time to report on the first fight between ISIS and our guys.
True, but I got it from DRUDGE.
Mess with the eagle and you get the claws.
This is impossible, because 0bambi said we wouldn’t be fighting.
Who cares. We’re killing Muzzies. That’s all that matters. “Some folks just need killin’’’. — Rooster Cogburn.
Yeah, Nobama said “No boots on the ground”.
I guess it depends on which personality is on display in the WH....I have to get a copy of ‘SYBIL’ AND RE READ.
I just read a link where Obama said ‘I am Jewish in my Soul”...Geez, you could of fooled me with all the millions and the First Executive Order in 2009 that gave 900 Million dollars to Hamas.
I found out on FR today that more troops have been sent or being sent to Iraq, SAY WHAT? What happened to ‘NO Boots on the ground!’
I think a psychiatrist should be called for a diagnosis.

300 GI`s against 15,000 Isis. Good thinkin` Obummer raghead
Take no prisoners.
None.
Every last ISIS puke deserves death for their atrocities.
“You’d think our own news media would find the time to report on the first fight between ISIS and our guys.”
Or ask how the BOOTS ON THE GROUND that Obama said wouldn’t be there, and then said wouldn’t have combat roles, got into combat.
But then, that would be impolitic, and likely cost them their jobs, or the all-important Tina Brown cocktail party invite that could make their careers.
“Golf Shoes”??
Or, as the American citizen fighting for the Kurds that RT interviewed said, “Combat Adidas”.
Sand ninjas in white tennies. Welcome to the bigs, fellas.
“Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.”
Sand ninjas ... I see what you did there.
Did you not get the memo ? There are no US ground forces in Iraq. Just like there was no WMD in Iraq. So there is no story for the MSM to report.
