Islamic State has reportedly seized al-Baghdadi, in Iraqs Anbar Province, 5 miles from an air base staffed by U.S. Marines, as the terror group continues its push beyond its bases in Syria and Iraq in an attempt to establish militant affiliates in other countries.
Hundreds of Islamic State fighters reportedly captured most of al-Baghdadi, which is 55 miles from the capital Ramadi, on Thursday.

One local Iraqi official told Reuters that, "Ninety percent of al-Baghdadi district has fallen under the control of the insurgents."

Obola is shouting Allahu Akbar and ululating in celebration!
Why does this remind me of the Alamo?
I would imagine that by now the President has given the necessary orders to disarm all these Marines, and to make sure that no rescue missions are launched to render aid.
ISIS better wrap this up before the NBA playoffs begin or they are going to lose Obama.
ISIS is very dangerous to women and unarmed men. the miserable muslim bastards are very brave when they’re cutting children in half, raping teenagers, or beheading men with their hands tied behind their backs.
if they f*ck with those marines, they’ve got a whole new experience coming their way.
If they show a video of beheading our marines, nobody would believe it anyway.
No big deal. He’s been playing golf all weekend and probably doesn’t personally even know about this or the executions of Christians in Libya.
Father God,
We stand on Your promises in Psalm 91 for every man and woman in uniform and their families. You, Father God keep Your promises. You put Your Word above Your Name.
In Jesus name we pray. Amen
Psalm 91
1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him.
3 For he will rescue you from every trap
and protect you from deadly disease.
4 He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor the arrow that flies in the day.
6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
7 Though a thousand fall at your side,
though ten thousand are dying around you,
these evils will not touch you.
8 Just open your eyes,
and see how the wicked are punished.
9 If you make the Lord your refuge,
if you make the Most High your shelter,
10 no evil will conquer you;
no plague will come near your home.
11 For he will order his angels
to protect you wherever you go.
12 They will hold you up with their hands
so you wont even hurt your foot on a stone.
13 You will trample upon lions and cobras;
you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!
14 The Lord says, I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
15 When they call on me, I will answer;
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue and honor them.
16 I will reward them with a long life
and give them my salvation.

More like 55 Days at Peking.
We should be looking for that picture of Admiral Akbar....
John! You got that right.
Obama will sacrifice those Marines if it will lead to him being granted more executive powers.
But someone gave a mus the stinkeye so he is preparing to make a statement about that.
Or as Preezy Obola would put it, ISIL is being degraded and destroyed.
ISIS is the known enemy. Surely the Marines won’t
turn their backs on the trainees when things get even
more dicey.
Will the Obamatollah and Jaques Kerry order these Marines to surrender their weapons as they did in Yemen?
