Two senior intelligence sources, though, told Fox News there is serious concern about how to evacuate other Americans out of Iraq if the situation further deteriorates.
“We need places to land, we need safe and secure airfields,” one source said, noting that the militants are “seizing airfields and they have surface-to-air missiles, which very clearly threatens our pilots and planes if we do go into evacuation mode.”
Sources said “all western diplomats in Iraq are in trouble,” and American allies are scrambling to put together an evacuation plan. Military officials said there are “not a lot of good options.”

thank you
And Baghdad is landlocked. We are gonna see hundreds of Americans held for ransom and videos of their heads being cut off. Obama needs to resign immediately.
“We need places to land, we need safe and secure airfields,”
Obama should have thought of that before pissing off the Jews perhaps.
They could fly through Jordan, if the Jordanians let them and land in Israel.
The only other options are Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, or Turkey. The Saudi’s would likely let them land, and are probably pissing themselves right now. ISIS is backed by the Iranians, I believe.
