This is a story with various reports flying from multiple directions and it’s hard to get a grasp on exactly what’s happening. What we know at the moment is that ISIS is claiming it has seized control of the al-Asad air base in the Ramadi area of Iraq. According to multiple twitter feeds the Iraqi army has lost contact with its people inside the base. From what we can tell the 300 Marines are on location to train Iraqi military. The Pentagon is pushing back on these initial reports about al-Asad. According to the Pentagon ISIS is initiating attacks against the base, but the heaviest fighting is happening approximately 5-10 miles away in al-Baghdadi. - See more at: http://www.libertynews.com/2015/02/breaking-reports-claim-isis-just-captured-al-asad-air-base-where-300-u-s-marines-are-now-trapped/#sthash.jv3OOUUA.dpuf

Just like it was unthinkable that the government would engage in domestic espionage?
I'm sorry, but I don't have even that confidence in the government.
Who is that?
Ambassador Stevens, if Google’s image search is to be believed; though one post claimed it was not him but an incident in 2009.
“Well, we haven’t gotten any new info since the original 6 hours ago. No rumors, nada. What’s likely happened? Is al-Baghdadi rubble?”
Possibly. But all we really know with 100% certainty is that the USMC did not surrender.
If our Marines go down because of Obama ... he needs to follow
al-Baghdadi was rubble when I was there in 2006
Exactly. Good analysis
That we know.
Daylight is soon up there...
Are you kidding? Obama’s voters (the majority) will just shrug and switch on Glozelle Green!
Only if somehow it ends up making Obama look like a hero, just like they tried to do with the ambassador in Libya. But in that case they screwed up and were not able to rescue the ambassador.
Nobody is reporting the fact that Boko Haram is seizing towns in Cameroon and Niger either. They are all loyal to the goofbama regime! Brian Williams = everyone in the media!
See another post earlier today:

If so every troop in the region and at home needs to be dispatched and destroy these animals.
And right after that I’d like to see them storm the casa blanca.
Is it out of line to think Obama had these Marines set up”
No it isn’t out of line at all, sadly.
Please Pray
Brian Willams America’s answer to Baghdad Bob. This is all the Fog of War—No one knows what is really happening. If the base falls it will be taken only with a great loss of life. If it should fall—the Marines who are killed will be the lucky ones—none should surrender—least they face a burning death or decapitation with a rusy knife. Will Obama go golfing after this?
Sadly all the higher ups in the military are Obama yes men.
Pray for what? That nobody believes this idiotic lie? Other than you
Exactly
Let’s just hope the Marines remember Chesty Puller.
