“Looks like Baghdad is being surrounded.”
If they cut off the airport, they cut off the primary means of escape for Weterners and their supporters to get out.
This going to be a real bloodbath, IMHO, if the reports getting out are accurate.
Westerners really haven’t paid attention to what is happening. Maybe seeing American workers getting lined up and shot by ISIS militias might make them realize this is a bad situation we’ve let happen.
Obama, unfortunately, isn’t interested in securing the thousands of Americans in Iraq. I’m sure his excuse will be, “hey, I told them to get out 2 days before the airport was captured. What more do you want from me?”
Tell him that ISIS is a GOP group, he might actually do something to stop them.
