UNCONFIRMED: There are initial reports of ISIS attack/capture of al-Asad air base in which there are over 300 U.S. marines

The al-Asad air base is near the town of al-Baghadai in Western Iraq, apparently captured a few hours ago by ISIS

The ISIS linked Twitter accounts are tweeting about the developments.

Needful to report that several tens of #USA 'advisers' and #Marines soldiers are now trapped inside the base as we speak #Anbar #Iraq #ISIS

— Rami (@RamiAlLolah) February 12, 2015

Iraqi officials say they have lost contact with the base.

Sahwa leader Naim al-Kaoud: We lost contact with several #Iraq|i tribes units inside Asad air-base since few hours.. #Anbar #USA #ISIS

— Rami (@RamiAlLolah) February 12, 2015

#BreakingNews Source: #ISIS has gained control on at least one building inside Asad airbase but sustaining heavy losses.. #Anbar #USA #Iraq

— Rami (@RamiAlLolah) February 12, 2015

ISIS is openly mocking Obama.

Pres. Obama: ISIS "is on the defensive" and ISIS "is going to lose" hmm it doesn´t make sense at all but who is atacking al assad air base?

When they kill someone, it’s NOT an “execution”. It’s a MURDER.

I know it’s semantics but that really ticks me off......

“If it takes more than 1 page, they failed.”

If it takes more than 1 sentence, they failed.

So much for Iran’s claim that ISIS was defeated and on the run.

combat_boots - No disrespect intended, but I hope this is bad reporting.

“Who is supplying and rearming ISIS?”

From some reports earlier this year, their supplies have been air dropped by the US.

Did Kerry order the Marines to surrender their weapons?

Maybe not, but Valerie and Barack are frantically trying to take care of the surrender as we speak...

Why would the base, if “under attack” contact the Iraqis?

The Marines...

If this is verifiable, my guess is that it was allowed to happen to serve as a warning to the Marines who were ordered to leave the American embassy without their weapons -to keep their mouths shut.

With this regime, nothing surprises me.

By the M16 the guy is carrying, I would say that the US is supplying them.

Me, too. Me, too.

I look at the sky and wonder if our guys are engaged in the fight of their lives. There at that base. And in all those hellholes in the ME.

Obama saw this coming hence his going to Congress to ask for permission to fight ISIS. He’s a conman’s conman.

The LIVs will drink it up.

with Obama in our WH, its never any surprise when yet another base, city, or country falls to his IslamoNazi comrades in arms

but with modern communications technology, losing contact with an American military base does not seem possible...

something very strage about this report...?????
