The ISIS linked Twitter accounts are tweeting about the developments.

Needful to report that several tens of #USA 'advisers' and #Marines soldiers are now trapped inside the base as we speak #Anbar #Iraq #ISIS

Iraqi officials say they have lost contact with the base.

ISIS is openly mocking Obama.

Pres. Obama: ISIS "is on the defensive" and ISIS "is going to lose" hmm it doesn´t make sense at all but who is atacking al assad air base?

Shep Smith video, talking about Reuters report of ISIS being NEAR the base, with (Ret.) Col Thomas Lynch, Fmr Special Assistant to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff . Haven't watched it yet.

there is only one “road” to the airport from the town. if the road is blocked they could be considered trapped. However, there are helo’s there. Also, from the reuters breaking alert at 2:45 pm est...

Pentagon spokeswoman Navy Commander Elissa Smith confirmed the fighting in al-Baghdadi. She said there had been no direct attack on the air base, adding: “There were reports of ineffective indirect fire in the vicinity of the base.”

Need a few A-10s to do a flyby.

I guess like the oil, the weapons would be black market. Who is anybody’s guess at this point.

If ISIS is massing forces around that base where our guys are, I want to see some precision targeting right away by our own air assets. We got a chance to kill a bunch of the bastards right now!

[Texas Fossil]

Bump!

My money is on the 300 marines too.

Amen, the whole marxist movement in America needs to be finished. And I mean drag every liberal editor out of every liberal newspaper, local and national newsrooms, radio stations, publications, etc. and including liberal academia have a good old fashioned tar and feathering.

Amen!

You're right on all counts!

[Keen-Minded]

I hope that is correct, but still an embarrassment for Obama having a town 10 miles away captured by JV ISIS.

[Responsibility2nd]

 Obama will never be at war against ISIS; he created, armed, and trained them.

 

And of course he STANDS with them.

 

So why the phoney baloney call for War with ISIS?

 

[Responsibility2nd]

Geez. Can my pics get any bigger?

Sorry all.

[Osage Orange]

When will Odinga...surrender America?

[DiogenesLamp]

We are ruled entirely by traitors.

I dispute that assertion. Since Obama was not really an American in the first place, he can't very well be a traitor, now can he?

I'm sure he's loyal to some third world Sh*thole that he regard's as *his* country.

[ColdOne]

Thanks I just found that.

[Lazamataz]

I see and concede your point.

[Patriot Babe]

AMEN!!!!

[wally_bert]

I saw stuff like that on car trips with the spouse since NlPR is on a lot. She hates my saying what I think when it comes to worthless liberals.

[Lazamataz]

I absolutely disagree with Conservative Gato.

No tarring and feathering.

Summary execution.

[DesertRhino]

These are Marines. They weren’t captured and will never surrender to ISIS. They wont be seen as hostages in some video, rest assured.

Bogus reporting.

Nothing confirmed at this time. Most unlikely that radio and satellite communication are unavailable.
