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

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?

When they kill someone, it’s NOT an “execution”. It’s a MURDER.
I know it’s semantics but that really ticks me off......
“If it takes more than 1 page, they failed.”
If it takes more than 1 sentence, they failed.
Amen
What is that sniper target doing holding an AR and not an AK?
Lord have mercy.
Lord hear our prayers.
If this is true, the Marxist had better be finished.
ISIS SEIZES RAMADI CITY – 300 US Marines Trapped at Base – Contact With Base Lost”
Obama surrenders, news at 11
God help us
So much for Iran’s claim that ISIS was defeated and on the run.
combat_boots - No disrespect intended, but I hope this is bad reporting.
“Who is supplying and rearming ISIS?”
From some reports earlier this year, their supplies have been air dropped by the US.
Maybe not, but Valerie and Barack are frantically trying to take care of the surrender as we speak...
Why would the base, if “under attack” contact the Iraqis?
The Marines...

If this is verifiable, my guess is that it was allowed to happen to serve as a warning to the Marines who were ordered to leave the American embassy without their weapons -to keep their mouths shut.
With this regime, nothing surprises me.
By the M16 the guy is carrying, I would say that the US is supplying them.
Me, too. Me, too.
I look at the sky and wonder if our guys are engaged in the fight of their lives. There at that base. And in all those hellholes in the ME.
Obama saw this coming hence his going to Congress to ask for permission to fight ISIS. He’s a conman’s conman.
The LIVs will drink it up.
with Obama in our WH, its never any surprise when yet another base, city, or country falls to his IslamoNazi comrades in arms
but with modern communications technology, losing contact with an American military base does not seem possible...
something very strage about this report...?????
I hope you are right.
