About 200 Americans under contract with the Department of Defense at Balad Air Force Base in Iraq are trapped by the al-Qaida-inspired jihadists who have seized control of two cities and are now threatening Baghdad, according to WND sources.
The sources, private contractors who have recently returned to the U.S. from Iraq, said Friday their former colleagues effectively have been abandoned by the U.S. military and are fighting for their lives against an army of jihadists surrounding the base who belong to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS.
The U.S. contractors are at Balad to help the Pentagon prepare the facilities for the delivery of the F-16 aircraft the Obama administration has agreed to provide the Iraqi government.
The surrounded Americans said they currently are under ISIS fire from small arms, AK47s, and rocket propelled grenades, or RPGs.
The contractors so far have been able to hold the base, but those on the scene reported it was only a matter of time before the ISIS terrorists succeed in breaking through the perimeter.

Anything from Corsi and WND is suspect. IMO.
You said: "GD’s policy, based on Iraq’s laws and the laws of every Arab country..."
I'm not going to pursue this further because I'm not at liberty to say where she was stationed, but she did carry a sidearm.
Michael Lindsey wrote me back on Twitter a few minutes ago:
@KristinnFR One of them is a friend of mine. I just received word they are out of Balad and in Baghdad.
I wasn't sure if he was being sarcastic, as in 'These people do not meet the criteria for assistance --- because they aren't traitors, illegals, or islamics'
Or whether he was typing out of the White House basement. Hard to tell sometimes...
Who was the FReeper girl in Iraq? Haven’t seen her post in a long time.
Obama probably talked to his ISIS friends into letting them escape.
Allegra - Do not know what became of her.
Really? That would be excellent news.
GOOD. Starting to get a little enraged there.
Is ISIL going to try to take the base?
Somehow, I don’t think this ends well...

So many reasons why I agree ....
Thank God.
Thanks for update. Now for the evacuation of Baghdad. ..
No more criteria is needed than this. The pos occupyWH 'leader', who rescued Bergdahl under false pretenses, should "get back American citizens (whom he put in harms way only to abandon) to their parents".
I don’t mean to argue with you. Have a great day.
Our Iranian born leader is right here:
I fear for their lives. I can’t even imagine what it is like for the contractors. Prayers for their safety.
Or his Secret Service detail.
But Psaki said our embassy is operating ‘normally’.
And where is Samantha Power? 1700 beheaded and not a peep from the UN?
Aw, shoot, there won’t be an Iraqi government to receive delivery of any F-16’s, who are they kidding?
