As the Al Qaeda aligned ISIS jihadists roll on towards Baghdad, there are reports that at least 200 Americans were trapped and surrounded at the Balad Force Air Base. An anonymous contractor claiming to be among the besieged U.S. citizens posted this call for help on CNN’s “IReport” website yesterday:

I am writing from ballad Iraq as a employee of sallyport, ksillc..there are approx 500 US citizens on balad air base north of Baghdad trapped..we are part of a little known F16 iraq support mission here…The company has reportedly for the last 3 days to fly us out, we are now all herded into a central location on base..and being told nothing.

It's like deja vu all over again. This is what "diplomacy" will get you. Evil people only understand one thing. Americans need to learn that.

ISIS are Sunni, so is Muslim Brotherhood, and the article above will tell you WHY our leader is not intervening in Iraq...

The obliging media on last evenings news showed the Obama’s visiting a Indian reservation in the Dakota's. No mention of course that they merely stopped over on their way to Palm springs, CA for golf and a fund raiser. It goes without saying if this had been Bush it would have been noted with the appropriate snarky comment.

I like the Qatar connection. Obama (and probably our money) set up alqueda in Qatar. Then they sent the 5 terrorists there.

I see Treason all around us. God help us!!

If any one had any doubt, they shouldn't now....Obama is a muslim through and through.

Iraqi air force BEGAN evacuating the folks from Balad, but were they able to complete the task?
Also, I think there are a few thousand at the embassy. Do we know their status?

I’m pretty sure they were evacuated to Baghdad. If reports yesterday were correct.

More here

If correct by now they have been evacuated to Baghdad, and then Dubai. There were an estimated total of 300 which included the 200 contractors.

My 32 year old son said this same thing this morning.... Nam all over again? Almost the same time period since we left has passed this time as well.

Diplomacy? With savages? I keep saying that David didn’t take a Bible to negotiate with Goliath. He killed him with God’s blessing.

Yes, I have an exceptional son who studies history and lots of other things. Most of all, he thinks.

It’s great to hear there are still young people out there who care about things like freedom, liberty and America.

Obama and the American left are getting everything they want, the radical Islamic takeover of the Mideast, the flooding of America with illegals, normalization of homosexuality, racial violence in our cities. It’s a dream come true for the left, one that is worth losing a few elections. The left and its fanatic media have beaten down opposition to radical leftism, so that the Republican Party is incapable of changing the direction this country is going.
