American troops just had their first real battle with Islamic State militants, after the terror group attempted to overrun Ein al-Asad base in Iraq in the middle of the night Sunday, the Kurdish news outlet Shafaq News reports. The U.S. troops absolutely decimated the militants, forcing a quick retreat. The counterattack was conducted in a joint operation with local tribal forces.
The attack occurred at Ein al-Asad base, which currently hosts nearly 100 U.S. military “advisers.” The U.S. troops engaged the militants in tandem with F-18 fighter jets, who provided air support. The battle lasted approximately two hours after an undisclosed number of militants were killed.

What’d you say, anyway, trclaf?!
The posts on this thread are ornerier than a ball of copperheads suffering from shingles ... meaner than a crocodile with a rotten toothache, as frisky as a pit bull with two peters.
Why, if a frog had sidepockets Dan Rather would pop out, knowwhutahmsayin’?
He sure gave them enough time to ravish the Christians in the region before he stepped it up.
That’s okay. McStupid was posing for pictures with ISIS fighters a while back, calling them freedom fighters.
We are doomed with stupid and evil at the helm.
If Obama is "stepping up," we would have a lot more than just 100 guys there, and they wouldn't be responding to attacks, they would be bringing the attacks to the enemy, and driving them back into Syria.
A Drudge headline said more troops were going to be deployed. I didn’t read the article though.
Obama the liar in chief is all about symbolism so he can say one thing and do another. I remember after those school girls were kidnapped in north Africa he sent some tiny number of troops so the libs in the media could report that we sent troops.

i agree with every thing you say, but can our country actually go to another country and fight this islamic invasion? in an already islamic country. I think islam, mohammedanism, is the problem and unless it is choked off at the source, where the money is, dubai and saudi we can never get it under control. the dubai and saudi money needs to dry up for this crap to stop. i think we need to act strategically. US de-funding helped stop the IRA in ireland.
“I will not commit you and the rest of our Armed Forces to fighting another ground war in Iraq”
0 commanded they float 6 inches aff the ground. Technically they are not boots on the ground. /heavy sarcasm
To the US Troops fighting these pukes: A very large and loud THANK YOU!!!!!.

Well, not every Muslim is made equally. The Kurds, for example, are Muslims, yet they are tolerant of Christians and Jews, they are brave soldiers, and they love America (it is the sentiment I hear constantly) and it was only among them that our soldiers could walk aroun without body armor, enjoy their off time in restaurants, etc. Also look at the before and after photographs of Iran before the Mullahs take over. One final anecdote, I deal with students from Saudi Arabia, the kind that don't explode, and their attitude towards Fundamentalist (true) Islam is encouraging to hear. I don't know if it's possible to make all of Iraq like that, but, at the very least, we can kill the terrorists, stop Christians and Kurds from being slaughtered, look into giving the Kurds a homeland, live peacefully (enough) there with our soldiers at least in their military bases if not.
I don't know about cutting off funds though. If we're funding the Saudis, that would be pretty horrible. But if you mean "buying their oil," well there's a cure for that: It's called fracking. And Israel also has found a massive oil source which they are looking to enjoy. This will also sort out the Russians too, as we can see from their ruble crashing. It's funny how many problems we can solve by just "drill baby drill!" as Palin recommends.
My take is that terlaf was merely bringing out the fact that yet another cover-up, lie from our Pres-ent and his obedient media has now seen the light of day. What? the Boy King LIE to us? That can't be! sarq/ Regardless - have a nightcap and hit the hay...

Your opinion is as smelly as Tcrlaf and the rest of the Putinista gang. Enjoy this vile company.
Noble sentiments. But in practice & reality truly useless.
I just pray that it turns out better for the Kurds than for the Montagnards.

Cray here and it cant even come close. It would have to be hooked up to biometric monitors on him 24/7 to even come close to being accurate
Most Kurds are a different ballgame for now. Most foreigners don't realize this and lump them in the "muslim" category.
That's when, sometimes, for some 'foreigners' a variety of first-hand education for significant periods of time and in different locations MAY kick in. The entire situation is so multi-layered. Often hard to grasp, even for those in-the-know. We don't live in a black & white environment anymore.
As demonstrated by our troops, a real, properly equipped army fighting a real war would mop this ISIS mess up in weeks.
Good reminder, thanks for that. It just goes to show if you do not decimate the enemy, their blood- thirsty families and everything they own.. more lives are wasted. I am ticked off, either let the dogs of war loose, or get completely out and never go back. No reason our troops should be fighting over their anymore. Too many lives and limbs lost over there already. No US troops in Iraq, or Ukraine, or Poland, or Saudi Arabia,Egypt... I know there are others. Obama has us in so many conflicts I cannot keep up.
Yes, it does have that flavor.
Yeah, if the SF guys had just laid down and died so Obama could keep his promise, right? I’m not sure what you’re complaining about here.
