Iraq
200 U.S. contractors surrounded by jihadists in Iraq
2014-06-14
WND has learned from sources that the jihadists have closed down escape routes, and the U.S. Air Force is in a stand-down position.
WTF?!
U.S. forces are not assisting even with air cover so a private extradition flight could land for a rescue, the sources said.
Can the Zero admin. + Cankles spin 50x more than they did for Benghazi?

#17  Guys, if you would be so kind as to translate the agitated Whulet Shavins7256 for me? It is not clear what my response should be. I can handle JosephMendiola on my own, but this is quite beyond me.

#15  If that's the case Barb, it's Fred, and Fred working on AI is, well, frankly, (can I say that here?) terrifying. Altho everyone needs a hobby I guess.

#4  The guys there piked up the Iraqi Armed abandoned weapons and have held off the mooks so far. But without air support to cover their evac, I dont know if those last 100 will make it out, or end up beheaded as trophies for the ISIL. Not hostages - that fucking coward Obama has already shown he doesn't give a shit about these Americans by denying the air support.

#3  It was always my belief that all U.S. contractors should be armed. Unfortunately, official 'Arming Memorandums' were very difficult and often impossible to obtain. It will be interesting to see how the contractor issue in Iraq as well as the U.S. State Dept. Embassy situation plays out. This has the potential to make Benghazi look like a very minor situation.

#1  Decent intelligence, and say, 3 A-10's starting operations 10 days ago, would have prevented the slaughter that is about to happen.
