Breaking news update! Iraqis shut down internet at U.S. Embassy in Baghdad
The Examiner ^ | June 14, 2014 | Susy Raybon

Posted on 06/15/2014 3:51:52 PM PDT by Star Traveler

A three word text was released from inside the Embassy about six hours ago: “Too late Alamo.” That message is open to interpretation.

Just minutes ago news came from within the United States Embassy in Baghdad that the Iraqis have shut down internet service for those barricaded inside. Limited text messages via private cell phones are still coming through.

It is unknown how many of the more than 5,000 U.S. civilians in Baghdad are actually taking refuge inside the embassy compound. NBC war correspondent, Richard Engel reported last night that civilians in and around Baghdad have boarded up residences and businesses.

The embassy lockup is a reminder of when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in August of 1990 and U.S. civilians were held hostage for months, including those from the State Department and Department of Transportation.

This week ISIS terrorists operating in Iraq have toppled Fallujah, Ramadi, Tikrit, and Mosul, robbing the Bank of Mosul for more than $450 million dollars. ISIS leaders now claim they are the richest terror group in the world, topping al Qaeda and Hamas. This militant group has vowed to overrun Baghdad, the nation's capital, and eliminate the Shiite ruling party.

We need to take a firm line with these swarthy vandals, like the Deputy State department spokes woman did with Putin Last week:

“These actions are unacceptable, and will be met with increasing costs.”

A lot of times, strong words like that work with bullies like raping and pillaging terrorists on a mission from Allah. Allah, after all, has a wallet, too. Hit Allah, hard, in his pocket book, and ... poof! ... suddenly he’s not such a tough little man.

Then we’ll see if the German’s will take the Alamo a third time. I’m just sayin’ is all.

I wonder how long until we have war on our own soil. Lots of bad actors out there who might see this as their chance....

Forget the drones. Arc light them, and do it now.

Well, that would work too, as long as these dirt bags don't have missiles that could bring down the Buffs.

ISIS looted US made 155mm howitzers. They have some serious firepower. Do they have people who can use it?
