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.
UNCONFIRMED: There are initial reports of ISIS attack/capture of al-Asad air base in which there are over 300 U.S. marines

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?

al-taqiyaa from obama.
Did not know that. What is the major difference?
Hey Boots...
Time for air assets to be deployed. Maybe those A10s they want to get rid of can go out guns blazing...
But I have no faith that this feckless drecksau in DC will do anything.
Thank you.
Thank your son.
Thank your FIL.
Thank you for the post.
AIDE: Mr President, ISIS has captured Ramadi and possibly 300 marines
Obama: Are there and golf courses in Ramadi?
AIDE: No
Obama: FORE!!!
I sincerely hope you’re right and that the request for an AUMF doesn’t make these Marines a bargaining chip.
And who exactly is going to order that???
I think the Marines will have a say in whether they’ll let themselves be bargaining chips, brother...
The proper application of 5.56mm and 7.62 NATO at the end of the day settles most issues.
With or without this feckless piece of garbage’s approval.
Where is our Illustrious Leader now?
Is he in the Situation room or has he put a
Do Not Disturb! sign on his door.
That base comes under attack and those sadistic muzzie b@st@rd$ will rain hell down on top of them.
He is taking selfies with glasses on, sticking out his tongue and making fake Obamacare commercial bloopers - yes, that’s our CIC. Pretty much that is the central news story - nothing mentioned about this.
The US, indirectly. They give weapons to the Iraqis, who give them to (let them be captured by) ISIS. And the US supplied terrorist groups in Syria who passed the weapons to ISIS.
I think we’ll see a decent airshow in the next few hours.. zero has to do something. Hope all the innocents have cleared out.
What century are you living in?
Obama is probably getting them to lay down their
arms as he has a good conduct pass from Isil for
them to leave....
As Chesty said in Korea, “Good we’re surrounded,
now we can fire in any direction...”
0bama informed ISIS about how to best capture the base.
