The narrative being passed around is that our Iraqis picked off the 25 IS that breached the perimeter, then tried to get in, while their US supervisors were ‘miles’ away on the other side of the base: the suggestion being we’ve trained some good officers out of the lot.

The utter lack of anything besides offical releases to ABCNBCBS etc doesn’t have a natural feel to it, but apparently our guys are OK and now paying a little sharper attention.

I want all you altruist to know that we have 300 men trapped inside of The islamic state in Al Bagdhadi. (”which is not islamic”). The 6 car bombs were probes and our men are not sleeping tonight. I fear YOU TUBE videos of their execution in a ditch if this feminine president gets his way.We need to fire a tactical 5 kt nuke at these sorry godless bastards in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ and fry about 5000 of their sorry godless carcasses. BUT WE WON’T!! because we are not lead . We are womanish in our world view and we ARE DOOMED! God Bless and protect our trapped men. By the way we just moved 4000 combat army into Kuwait to rescues these men. I pray it works but know this— It won’t. We are back in this region of the world with no hope of ultimate victory.Brace yourself.

The ragheads control a city 15 KM from this base.

This is just the beginning.

The right thing to do for our USMC is to reinforce by a factor of 10.

Instead we have a faggot homosexual communist moslem evil degenerate son of a whore and his comrades in charge of the situation.

God bless the USMC.

It was a probe to see what was there and how they could penetrate.


And a FReeper on the big thread pointed out all the potential bad outcomes, like booby-trapping high areas outside the base where our guys would naturally run and some other ops notes.

But how will you be able to tell if a nuke has been detonated in Al Bagdhadi? How would it look different? It looks pretty bad now.

Ragheads have been lobbing MORTARS into this base for the last 2 months.

The ENEMY intends to take this base.

Longer than that.. I think a year ago when they first took and then lost Ramadi they tried an attack on the base. Muslims, once committed to a target don’t let up. I think we should carpet al-Bagdadi. Anybody ‘friendly’ still there doesn’t deserve the 02 they’re taking up.

HUSSEIN BARAKA and his Iranian KGB "Handler" Jarett won't let that happen.

BTTT.

It’s curious how little information is coming out.

” Muslims, once committed to a target don’t let up.”

You mean like the World Trade Center?

“Or just shoot them because they are evil. Period.”

YES! It’s just fine and perfectly clear why they have to be killed in zombie shows or virus from hell shows (The Strain, Helix, Walking Dead etc). We simply reclassify psycho muzzies as the insane virulent zombie Borg Schizo’s they are and kill them! Save the planet before we are overrun! It’s frapping common sense!! It’s NOT that hard to figure out.

Just used google earth to see the close up and in conjunction with other photos I’ve seen they have helo’s there and the place is huge. Other posts suggested that surrounded by desert can be an advantage.

I was wondering how Iran having a nuke would change the balance of power with Iraq? Would they use a mini-nuke against Iraq? Is that what our administration wants?

“Ragheads have been lobbing MORTARS into this base for the last 2 months.”

And what have they destroyed? How large is Al-Asad?

“The ENEMY intends to take this base.”

Good, then they will die there.

The base is in a wadi and covers many square miles - far too big for 300 guys to defend in its entirety; the hills around it were US controlled, now “Iraqi mil” controlled.

Reportedly, there are evacuation plans at the ready. But then there likely were similar plans for Benghazi ...

The real questions are: how much ammo do the Marines have, and how long will that ammo last in a firefight? Who will be resupplied first: the Marines or ISIS?

Here is my Kipling Quote........ nor precisely applicable, but nearly so

” Now it is not good for the Christian’s health to hustle the Arian Brown,
For the Christian riles, and the Arian smiles, and it weareth the Christian down;
And the end of the fight is a tombstone white with the name of the late deceased,
And the epitath drear:”A fool lies here who tried to Hustle the East.”

Rudyard Kipling
“The Naulahka
