Numerous tweets about Ramadi saying that US forces are being evacuated back to Baghdad. ISIS is said to be in control of the city center now, as well as several burbs.

If other tweets are to be believed, something near 100,000 Ramadi residents have fled, and are on the road to Baghdad tonight.

Numerous Tweets also say that the Iraqi Gov troops have launched a counter-attack.

Fled, eh?

Not “retreated”, “evacuated” even or “withdrew”.

Washington defeated the troops again. Just like Vietnam, Korea.

Well, actually, Barry was probably golfing, and Jean Kerri was receiving a gift of potatoes from the Russians.

Fleeing, or evacuating?

Fleeing implies that the “United States Forces” are losing a battle and are retreating because they are losing a fight.

Aren’t they just some advisers?

Is this like caww’s “Al Asad Marine Base Overrun by ISIS” post from February where ISIS didn’t get within six miles of the Marines and were driven off by the IA (lol) and drones?

The FR Kremlin Klub Komedians are nothing if not unrelenting.

The First Moslem by Pelosi’s and McCain’s Fraud
in the White Mosque must truly be PLEASED.

He will now increase his speed to exterminate
America and its Constitution (aided gladly
by the proven-liars McConnell and Boehner
who with their EXEMPT families and EXEMPT staff
have been promised to be the last Americans
left to live).

I heard it too.

I really wonder if this guy is up to the job (of course Obama has made it a near impossible job).

The Caliphate crew seizes its golden opportunity to proliferate while their friend in the White House looks the other way. It is NOT a coincidence that the Caliphate has grown throughout the Middle East, starting the moment Barack Hussein took office. THEY’VE GOT THEIR AGENT FOR THE CALIPHATE IN THE WHITE HOUSE!
