Sure have been a lot of SpecOp failures lately.

SpecOps is too light of infantry for this type of target. What was needed was a Marine Expeditionary Unit, or an Airborne Bn (Rein). I would go with the MEU because they bring the hammer: Artillery, harriers, cobras, towed 120MM mortars, LAVs, snipers galore, expeditionary airfield capability, a Direct Action capability, along with 3 rifle companies and a heavy weapons company.

They would not have had to run from Shi'ite.

Here is a video said to be by current Special Ops guys after ISIS

They track them down and kill them everyone.

I agree.

I can’t see 2,200 marines, well equipped, and with the kind of air cover they can bring to bear, quitting the fight.

Doesn’t sound very covert or subtle.
