Islamic State fighters reportedly seized most of a western Iraqi town on Thursday, in fighting taking place mere miles from an air base where hundreds of U.S. Marines are training Iraqis.

Reuters, quoting local officials, reported Thursday that ISIS militants had overrun much of the town of al-Baghdadi. One local Iraqi official told Reuters that, "Ninety percent of al-Baghdadi district has fallen under the control of the insurgents."

They don’t necessarily need to take on the marines...

It will be blamed on the release of the movie 50 Shades of Grey, which is very offensive to Muslims.

Not to worry - Obunghole will be all over it.

This story is being under-reported due to the fact the photos coming back from the base depict US Marines standing over the bodies of dead ISIS fags and peeing on their remains.
