US Marines on the Ground in Iraq as ISIS Burns 45 Alive
The Fiscal Times ^ | 2/20/15 | Riyadh Mohammed

Posted on 02/20/2015 5:01:14 PM PST by Kartographer

Iraqi local officials in Iraq’s town of al-Baghdadi have warned of another ISIS mass burning massacre. The terror organization surrounded a compound several days ago that houses more than 1000 families and burned 45 people alive.

“ISIS has killed more than 150 people from al-Obaid tribe...some of them were burned alive and some were beheaded...they were policemen...some of them fought against ISIS before,” said sheikh Mal Allah al-Obaidi, the head of the local council in the al-Baghdadi.

This is being repeated all-over these days. Suppose it's silly to ask why it doesn't lead the news (from the article):

“The people of the residential compound are now under ISIS control. They are urging the government to help them. There are more than a thousand families there. All phone and Internet communication have been cut. Al-Baghdadi is totally isolated from the rest of the world now,” sheikh al-Obaidi added.

Communication is the least that the people of al-Baghdadi worry about. With ISIS in charge, all kinds of human supply into the town have been stopped as a means to break the city resistance. Food, medicine, water, electricity and fuel have been withheld by ISIS.

“The people of al-Baghdadi are living in a true tragedy. They are facing death in every way: hunger, thirst, diseases and the extreme cold,” said sheikh al-Obaidi. Three children died today after drinking unclean water. Dozens of others were hospitalized.

“The Iraqi government is responsible for the lives of those executed by ISIS or still prisoners.... It has never answered our requests carried by formal and tribal delegations to Baghdad to act and save 50,000 people under ISIS siege in al-Baghdadi. As if we are all sentenced to genocide,” said sheikh Qatari al-Semermed, another tribal leader of al-Obaid tribe in the town.

I’d love to see the USMC go up against these slime balls, but something tells me the Commander in Chief would find a way to hang our troops out to dry.

I think it is time Obama took action. He needs to setup a meeting to assess their skill sets to determine the best fits for them in government positions. But he needs to hold these job interviews over there, in Iraq. No fair hiding behind your soldiers now Obama. Those be the rules of engagement for you.

If they attack don’t be surprised if the Obama orders them to
stand down and surrender all weapons.

Well, it just came to me while reading the comment I was replying to and thinking of the doubling of the National Debt during a 2-Term failed Presiduncey that ain't even done yet!!!

This used to be such a wonderful country just loaded with good-hearted people who are now seeing it all be "transformed" into something that's getting uglier and uglier. The Emperor certainly has no clothes this time!!!

It's even worse than Jimmy Carter's 2nd term and much uglier!!!

Jimmy Carter....


At least Carter made Reagan not only possible, but necessary. I pray that we may be blessed, again, come January 20, 2017.
