Reports are starting to show up on Twitter of explosions in the International Zone in Baghdad, aka the Green Zone. It is about 2:15 a.m. in Baghdad, IIRC.

#BREAKING assaults beginning in Green Zone, #Baghdad. #ISIS sleeper cells activated! #Iraq #Iran

#BreakingNews Huge explosions are now reported inside the Green Zone in #Baghdad. #ISIS #Iraq

.@AllMilitaryNews Not me; it is the Iraqi state TV who reported that..

That picture of traitor Kerry caught me off guard.

The reason being, take a look at the guy sitting right behind him clapping. It looks like a younger version of Bergdahl’s father.


You’re right nit does look like him.

It’s the truth. They protected him because

1: they share his ideals
2: He’s black and they don’t want to be called racists.

So all our soldiers died for nothing because the GOP are cowards who let this happen and didn’t do anything to stop a man they could see, thanks to security intel reports, was losing the war and the country so many does and were maimed to liberate.

If your vehicles and every gas can you own aren’t slam full at this point you need your head examined.

I have adequate stores but not sure how this would affect availability on the west coast, other than price.

Flights seem to be avoiding Bagdad airport per radar image.

I doubt there will be any actual fuel shortages.
Driving the price up past $5/gal will effectively do the rationing.

Expensive gas does have one benefit, it gets poor people off the streets and reduces congestion.

What interest do we have in Baghdad other than getting U.S. citizens out?

The GOP knew this was coming and has not lifted a finger to do a damn thing about it.

Not sure what the GOP could do...?

They have no control over the military or the State dept...

Obama is CINC ....currently on "Golf Cart One"

I was in Missouri/Arkansas/Oklahoma last week, regular was $3.20/gal. Seemed like the “good old days”

They had info on this coming a long time back. When you add the releases of terrorists, Bhengazi, the bussing in of illegals, the refusal to secure borders, they could have had him declared mentally unfit and forced the issue.

Right now people continue to die. Before the day ends, Americans will be added to the list of the dead. They had power to stop it and refused.

Regular gasoline sometimes-with-ethanol here is about $3.73; the one station with the ethanol-free premium is really pushing the “what the market will bear” principle.

Just to drive the point home...

An attack on Bagdad was known to be in the works.

Our embassies were again under protected.

The CIC ordered no evac or reinforcement and went golfing the day the attack began.

How is that not mentally unfit by any definition?
