ISIS fighters seized most of Ramadi – where 300 US Marines are stationed training Iraqi Forces.
Al-Asad base is near the city – where 300 Marines are stationed.
The US Marines at Al-Asad airbase has been under frequent attack since January.
But today ISIS seized large swaths of the city.

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.
Sahwa leader Naim al-Kaoud: We lost contact with several #Iraq|i tribes units inside Asad air-base since few hours.. #Anbar #USA #ISIS

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?

Thanks for the information. And thanks for your service.
Rules of engagement should be: kill ‘em all, let God sort ‘em out.
That probably means the Marines killed them all (wishful thinking lol).
Let me guess.. The Marines sent to Ramadi are on the top of some ‘kill list’ derived from Emails read by the NSA per Obama?
Thank you for joining me exnavy .. where ever two or more are gathered in HIS name, there HE is in the midst of them.
GOD is good.
Barry will order the U.S. Marines to surrender all of their weapons. Yemen was just practice.
I honor your son and his comrades. But until we return to the process of declaring war, and not finishing until we are done...this will continue.
I am hard pressed to recommend military service to anyone until this loser is out of office.
Why the very name Warthog, which is related to a pig is Islamophobic.
CNN just mentioned this story. Sounds like Wolf is going to be doing a segment on it after the commercial break.
If A-10s are used, I really hope the USAF loaded all of them with 30mm PGU-13/b incendiary ammo with a bacon grease marinade integrated into the rounds.
“Being a US soldier under people like Obama and Kerry is the most dangerous job one can have. Political correctness and leftism are deadly.”
First thing people should think about while at the ballot box is “do I want this person as commander in chief of the armed forces?” Apparently not many thought that way.
What?

Wolf had the SpokesGal from the State Department on about 2 hours ago. He could easily asked: “Can you confirm that the Airbase is under fire?” He didn’t. Nothing was learned.
Well, they’re not going to send a QRF or any air assets to buzz the savages because they have no way of knowing how long the attack is going to last.../sarc (see Benghazi)
Thank you for your service as well.
