ISIS Breaches US Military Advisers' Iraqi Base
Just as we warned hours ago, it appears the capture of a nearby town was not the endgame and, as The Wall Street Journal reports, A group of Islamic State militants penetrated an Iraqi air base where U.S. military advisers are training Iraqi forces, the first time attackers have gotten beyond the outer perimeter of an Iraqi base being used by American trainers.
As The Wall Street Journal reports,
U.S. officials said eight Islamic State militants struck a small building at the edge of the huge al-Asad Air Base before being repelled by Iraqi forces. All eight were killed.
Military officials said American and other coalition trainers were “several kilometers” away from the attack and under no direct threat. There are 400 U.S. Marines and other service members at the base.
An Iraqi security-force official said that at the time of the attack, Islamic State militants also were firing rockets and mortars at the base.
The attacks on the base came after Islamic State fighters moved against the nearby Iraqi town of al-Baghdadi earlier on Thursday. The militants, according to an Iraqi official, took control of a number of government buildings after the local police fled following a pair of suicide bombings. It isn’t clear how much of the town the militants control.
...
Friday’s assault was the first in which Islamic State forces sent an armed team to attack the base. U.S. military officials said Iraqi forces repelled the attack, which occurred at 7:20 a.m. Iraqi time on Friday, killing all eight attackers. The U.S. provided overhead surveillance for the Iraqi force.
“Eight guys going after al-Asad—that is a suicide mission. They have no chance,” said a U.S. defense official. “But they have an interest in al-Asad and I would venture to say they will have an interest anywhere we have people.”
The defense official said Islamic State fighters have been targeting the base because of the propaganda value of the attacks. Even ineffective attacks in the vicinity of the base have generated widespread newspaper and television headlines.

We leave it to Ron Paul to conlude on where this goes next...
Declaring war against ISIS is like declaring war against communism or fascism. The enemy cannot be identified or limited. Both are ideological and armies are incapable of stopping an idea, good or bad, that the people do not resist or that they support. Besides, the strength of ISIS has been enhanced by our efforts.
Our involvement in the Middle East is being used as a very successful recruitment tool to expand the number of radical jihadists willing to fight and die for what they believe in. And sadly our efforts have further backfired with the weapons that we send ending up in the hands of our enemies and used against our allies and Americans caught in the crossfire.
Good intentions are not enough. Wise policies and common sense would go a long way toward working for peace and prosperity instead of escalating violence and motivating the enemy.

Ahhh I see the proxy army is doing their job.
Big ZH fan.
Difficult for me to believe any reports on ISIS and Ukraine and the whereabouts of certain troops or figures and what they did or did not do. Tons of intentional disinformation out there.
Hey how in the hell did Ebola just drift away so gracefully without a peep and without wiping out Dallas and then America? Hmmm.
I'm guessing some people with a conscience did their job. Or maybe the "vaccine" worked.
Ebola was bad for stocks. War is good for stocks.
That news got snuffed.when.Obama.sent.the first military caregivers to africa.
You will probably never hear of.it.again.
Heads will roll.
Islamic State militants also were firing rockets and mortars at the base.

Sheit. That's "business as usual." We used to have counter-fire on the ground and Apaches in the air or folks (that we could trust) on the wall who would light their asses up.
Now? Who knows?
Force on force, ISIS is going to get their well-used asses handed to them. Asymmetric warfare against US forces (especially with a full complement of arty/air support) same outcome. ISIS is used to fighting civilians and poorly equipped opposition. Honestly, this is shaping up to be a Marine Infantryman's wet dream, and a chance to invoke the sacred spirit of Chesty Puller.
"Gunny - there's 3,000 of them around the base and only 300 of us!"
"Calm down Private, we got em right where we want em"
"Holy Cow, look at all them fuckin indians!" (George Armstrong Custer)
(Punchline to an old joke)
Ha. Not the same kind of situation. But, you get an upvote for being funny anyways.
Love how Army guys hate that shit- all in good fun - sort of ha ha
He was Army - just saying.
I come to you without artillery and am begging with tears in my eyes, if you fuk with me I'll kill every one of you and they'll talk about what we did here for 10,000 years.
I don't disagree - but where is this going? It's like the war on drugs and poverty - goes on forever without andefinition ofnan achievable victory.
Don't know about you - but my wet dream always includes a full complement of unit capabilities. I see your Chesty and raise you a Mad Dog.
Ooh rah
I don't disagree with you either. Air and arty support are fantastic things to have. Then some armor and heavy weapons (prior 0351 Dragon Plt Grunt from 1/5).
Just cut the Marines loose. Don't get on to them for an ear, or gold tooth collection. Let them kill everything in front of them, and don't hobble them with retarded ROE.
Hard not to smile at that - very fukin funny. my bro and I were East Coast via SD - to recent to say. Will now go crack a beer. tks for the great flash back
Hey. How 'bout you 2 guys go get a room and the nearest Budget Inn, okay?
You two guys wanna go find a room someplace?
Oh goody. We got us here a whole bunch of hairy-assed, psychpathic, chest pounding war baboons. They got no idea who their fighting or why they're fighting - they just wanna go out and kill something.
OK - I only logged back on after a few drinks - you know - you call them Apple tinis or spritzers depending on your monthlies. Yes my ass is hairy - although that is only speculation as no one else has access to it - some people - not saying you specifically - wax their asses - again from reports in the press I read this is all the rage with the metro class.
I suspect your hormonal rage at the perception ( god! the baboon speaks eruditely!) has to do with this same anal obsession of yours.
Now , with all due respect, please - I know what you're thinking - but - wait for it - just go away.
I don't speak vulgarly to the feminine class (which is not the same as the ladies).
Now - I'll go back to a few of my low class beers and check back in the am. Hopefully you'll have regained your composure by then and have cried it out.
.
Sounds to me like one of us is VERY insecure and defensive about his manhood but
- wait for it - it ain't me Bro.
I don't expect to be understood by you, just as you can't expect me to understand you. However, you can't argue the fact that sometimes, violence is the answer.
Listen - if you're doing something to your backside - don't be dragging the rest of us into it. This guy is obviously on to one of us and I'm not taking the hit. FFS - what are you West Coast guys doing?
Jeezuz - what would Chesty say?
At ease Marine. I'm letting pajama boy hang himself with his own rope.
P
Yea - never offered an 8th and I job! Taking care on the ftards but Gen M Neil mean anything to you?
.
Sure, sometimes "violence is the answer", depending on the question. If the question is, should we DEFEND our home, our country, our borders, our people by any means available to us including violence? The answer is yes. But if the question is: Should we, or anyone else, police the world with over a thousand military bases in over 150 sovereign countries, installing or deposing dictators at will and at whim, killing, maming, destroying, as may please us at the moment including assassinating our own American citizens without trial or due process in flagrant violation of our own Constitution? No, in those cases, violence is NOT the answer.
I actually think I understand you very well, perhaps better than you understand yourself. It isn't pretty.
BTW - the word is- psychopathic. I just checked and both my gun dealer and my VA shrink confirmed the spelling.
I know. Common typo. Thanks for spotting that. Now, if that's the only part of my statement you want to criticize, my work is done here.
BA-DA-BING BA-DA-BOOM! So long fallas, thanks for your service.
Yes - it's me - you girls are just ungrateful
Hey bro, if some moron wants to go get his head blown off, or his ass blown off in some God forsaken rat-hole of a country half way around the world. What does that have to do with me? And don't tell me he's "making me free", or "keeping Americans safe" or any of that bullshit. If anything it's just the opposite. He's putting his ass on the line strickly to benefit war profiteers, making the rich even richer, feeding corporate and political greed.
be all you can be
dead..
They've killed the idea of freedom and sef-reliance in the USA.
Didn't I read this 50 years ago? But the names were different.
Chesty Puller/Chosin Reservoir. It was a monumental ass-whoopin for the PLA.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Chosin_Reservoir
Are those Marines being attacked?
I said this earlier-
As some have said:
1. I'd like to see actual PROOF that we actually have troops there!
2. Provide real source evidence from actual military sources that troops are there "advising". Not "reports" from the fucking WAPO or NYT's! An actual DoD briefing to prove to us that troops are there.
3. I seriously believe this is ALL completely MADE UP like a scripted fucking hollywood production.
4. Once again, I dont believe ANYTHING the government, WAPO, NYT's, or CNN tells me. NOTHING!
That is all for now...
Is Obama ready yet to answer THAT 2am phone call ????
Damn straight - be on the first tee in 20. BTW - my second putt is always good
I'll give you my opinion why fighting wars thousands of miles away from home are losing propositions. The deployed soldiers could give two shits about winning, they just want to make it through the day and then the next, etc. until they get to go home. Now, the people who the deployed troops are fighting are fighting in their HOME and are putting tremendous efforts to kick the invaders out. I have to laugh out loud when the natives are called INSURGENTS, who comes up with that shit? This whole concept cannot be conceived by Neocon chickenhawks who never, ever served one minute in the military, let alone in an active combat zone. Think I'm bullshitting? I was a combat medic in Vietnam and observed first hand this phenomena...
With all due respect to a fellow vet - Vietnam =/= Middle East.
(Thanks for your service Medic and I hope you never, EVER have to deal with the VA)
And another thing...How do you counter superior numbers and superior force? Easy, disperse....
The main stream media and government tells us nothing. Guess we'll have to wait until ISIS puts out their next snuff film. Hope and Change bitchez! Hope and Change.
Clearly the USA is trying to get WWIII started on two fronts. Ukraine and Iraq.
Rich people are running out of time moving to New Zealand.
This entire scenario reeks to high heaven!! This feels like the same reporting and story as the "columns of russian tanks" rolling into eastern Ukraine...
Completely made up and spoon fed to the mushy brained masses!
Unleash the Drones!
Mission Accomplished? I'm sure there's golfing on one of the carriers or am I getting ahead of myself?
The only US MSM is covering this news I cannot find this in any other websites. There a lot of news about Argentinen president than this suppositiously ISIS attack to US base.
There was an AP report this am, saying Israel had killed 800+ civilians in a bombing raid
overnight.This story has swallowed that one.
Purely coincidence I'm sure.
Well, just like in Tora Bora, the MIC just can't have it if success came too soon or too fast.
Print MOAR, spend more. Perpetual Woar for Perpetual (in)Security.
And this is what you have to look forward to when you join the military. Your leaders hanging you out to dry.

so is this a USA civil war ?
Not until it's on our soil.
oopsy. Now ISIS has all the top-secret U.S. ME plans and medical records, taken from unencrypted hard drives of course.
It is a great opportunity for ISIS to train USA troops ........ fantastic thought ...... make a hundred push ups ..... say 100 times .... Allahu Akbar ........ kneel face down and ass up .... It will go down very well . After all, ISIS is trained and financed by the CIA ...... brothers in arm .... ah,ah,ah,ah, only could happend with the current bunch of retards in the White House !!!!! perfect ! Is it Karma ???? A timber medal for crappy performance to the IDOIOTS of the CIA .... they take the cake for STUPIDITY . Again Overpaid , oversexed and without BRAIN !
Not too bad for the junior varsity
Oh look! They snuck right up on us, just like they did on 9/11.
Like FDR and his 'advisors' were 'surprised' at Pearl. I'll guess that BO, Valerie, Victoria, Hillary and McCain are trying to hide in plain sight until ISIS takes the 300 advisor bait, and our disgraceful leaders get their war, any way they can.
No way. America had not attacked Japan except economically (oil embargo) before Pearl Harbour.
Whereas here, Pax Americana has destroyed many ME countries over 60 years, since Iran 1953 coup, all for oil hegemony. Awesome rampage that followed on to NAM/Laos/Cam.
The people of Iraq have good right for resentment, not this perversion called ISIS.
But ISIS is now officially "casus belli" for Obama, with Congress approval. Not sure if they need to bait them with 300 like at the Alamo.
So...that's not an attack, that's reconnaissance. I suspect the attack comes later.
So what you are saying is the trainers who trained ISIS ISIL JSIL ABCDEFG are now being attacked by the trainees. Nope don't believe it. Maybe its the Israeli snipers who shot all those Marines in 2003 or the Mossad boys from Benghazi. Because ISIS et al gets its money and equipment from the US.
And these same DC war hawks "strategist" can't wait to pick a fight with the Russians....?
Fucking morons!

At least Obomber has his putter working.
Everyone is missing this: China is building Aircraft carriers: give them three years. Our time is short. USA is going to be no better than, .....pick a country.. We are at the short end of the stick. IMO.
WWIII will happen, like it or not. USA, EUROPE, RUSSIA, will all fight. China will clean up the mess.
My point is China needs to go to war as well. Only they won't throw the first or second punch. They will wait until everyone else is weak and all of a sudden, Chinese is our official language. Maybe Canada will fair better than the USA, but I doubt it.
Let's not take our eye off the ball. It's all about natural resources. Always has, always will be.
How utterly convenient for USA that this happens 2 days after Obummer asked for authorization to wage war anywhere in the world. What an amazing coincidence, really. I'm so shocked. And the theater of the absurd goes on.
BTW,
UN Finds Credible Ties Between ISIS And Israeli Defense Forces http://www.addictinginfo.org/2015/02/05/isis-idf-link/In a new report from the UN, it is revealed that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) were maintaining regular contact with members of the so-called Islamic State since May of 2013. Initial reports from the IDF stated that this was only for medical care for civilians, but that story fell apart when the UN observers identified direct contact between IDF forces and ISIS soldiers, including giving medical care to ISIS fighters. Observations even included the transfer of two crates from the IDF to ISIS forces, the contents of which have not been confirmed at this time. Further the UN report identified what the Syrians label a crossing point of forces between Israel and ISIS, a point of concern brought before the UN Security Council. This report from the UN strengthens the claims by the Syrian regime that Israel is heavily involved in operations within the nation.
This is part of a continuing pattern of Israeli support for the Islamic State. It was only two months ago that Israel attacked Syrian forces in opposition to ISIS forces. Israeli attacks even killed an Iranian military adviser for the Syrian military just two weeks ago. The U.S.’s financing of ISIS, part of the effort against Syrian president Assad, is well documented, as well. That the efforts to undermine the Assad regime were in turn strengthening the same terrorist group which recently set a Jordanian pilot on fire to set an example is conveniently ignored by the higher up military command.
When the United States began operations against ISIS, Israeli high command seemed reluctant to give any support and called the move a mistake. The support of ISIS fits in with Israeli concerns in the region, namely that of Syria and Iran, and U.S. opposition to ISIS has put the United States in the awkward position of once again arming the enemies we will be fighting tomorrow.
Syria and Iran both pose a threat to Israel with their sizable conventional forces and political clout in the region, in much the same way Iraq was before the elimination of Saddam Hussein. With the toppling of Saddam, pieces of concern remain, and Israel appears to still maintain the old axiom that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Supporting ISIS for Israel enables them to eliminate two issues at once, only once Syria is no longer a concern — a move which would in turn neutralize Iranian influence in the region — Israel then would turn its attention to ISIS, bolstered by other anti-ISIS forces from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United States. That would take several more years, however, during which time ISIS would continue to grow in both size and power. By the time they turn their attention to ISIS, it is quite possible that ISIS would have toppled the nations which Israel is counting on for support of such an operation. Too little, too late.
Traditionally such groups as ISIS have relied upon Saudi Arabia for support, but Saudi money is conspicuously absent from ISIS coffers. Unlike groups before, ISIS has gone self-financed, relying upon prostitution, slavery and oil for its financial well-being. This, in turn, removes the protections which Saudi Arabia has relied upon for almost a century to prevent such organizations from turning on the House of Saud and potentially conquering the kingdom which is now in the sights of the Islamic State.
In turn, the ISIS forces have all but forced the Kurds to become a mighty force unto themselves, much to the anger of neighboring Turkey. Rather than helping to fight ISIS, Turkey is instead attacking the forces standing in opposition to ISIS. The entire situation has spiraled out of control.
In effect, there is no side to support here, as each side is being supported at once in opposition to the other side. By enabling the creation of ISIS, we have taken an already unstable situation and poured gasoline over it. Now we are facing a true threat, not from ISIS or Iran or Syria, but against our own arrogance. We have been blinded to the death and destruction created by our actions in the Middle East.
We once were respected throughout the region, as neutral peacebrokers, the nation which oversaw the breakup of the Barbary pirates and a country which became eternal friends with the people of Iran when all of Europe ignored them. Now we are Israel’s expected muscle, to carry out their dirty work in an effort to destabilize the region and de-power those the tiny nation views as a threat. They will support anyone, if it meets a short-term goal, even if the result is a plot more complex and ridiculous than an episode of “Passions. This can, and will cost them long-term.
The United States cannot be party to this. Whatever the political and economic cost, the U.S. must disengage from all sides in the Middle East, before it is too late.
I was thinking the same it is very weird. I hope the other can see the same thing we are seeing.
Oh, more useless red-herrings from Ron Paul.
Alright then.
No one is trying to stop ideas Ron, that is not the aim. People are entitled to free speech and to think and (unfortunately) believe whatever they want. No one is going to do much that's effective about that, for sure.
WWII was about stopping armed AXIS powers acting militarily on their aggressive declared extreme aims. The ending of the cold war did the same thing with communism, for the most part, the armed action most halted soon after.
So the objective today is not some attempt at being Thought-Police. It is to close with, engage and KILL the armed people who are acting on such extreme ideas.
And that definitely can and is being done.
Now, what's your practical alternative? Do nothing and let Syria, Iraq then Jordan etc. be over run, while Iran is of course forced to intervene, instead, and the whole region goes to full-scale sectarian hell, pronto? What a great idea!
Rhetorical red-herrings don't help Ron.
ISIS are the modern day Bolsheviks, funded and armed by "Western" interests while being painted as a self-organized horde of barbarians in order to fool the dipshit taxpayer rubes into engaging of all kinds of outrageous shit at home.
You don't actually eat the shit you're being fed by the lamestream media, do you?

One day you may say something beyond feeble quotes of others surrounded by feeble brain farts. You're clearly incapable of an independent vetting and comprehension of the useless propaganda-hooks issuing from that particular pet Washington politician of yours.You no doubt agree with his every word like all the other soft-headed dupes.
Point out where I was wrong or where I referred anywhere to mainstream media content?
Ron Paul is concocting cheap immaterial shit there, that entirely misses and derails the point, deliberately, and that's all that's happening there.
I see you're in favor of ISIL continuing to do what they want to do. Sorry, but I do support putting those pricks in the ground, or all over it, which ever ... though actually, I'm not sorry about that at all. Consider it mercy. I wish them no harm but they do need to die now.
Ron Paul's shit is immaterial, but so is yours.

Isn't this classic Hegelian Dialetctic?!!!!
Funding both sides of the confrontation spinning the PR for more U.S. involvement to get the American people energized again for "moar"!
And when that doesn't work?... Something much bigger in the "wings" if it's needed!
How can anyone continue to show pity for the U.S. military wrapping itself up in this kind of shit after 14 years of it when they know the unvarnished truth?!!!
John(they'll never take me alive)Mccain says they are coming from the east down I10.

I will wait for broader confirmation that Al-Asad Airbase was actually penetrated. Unless the Pentagon (at the behest of the insanely out of depth executive) basically reduced this Marine brigade to carrying ARs and little more, and cannot call in any air support, the chance of ISIS overrunning things is highly unlikely.
With that all said, we must not forget that last Summer when ISIS was getting going Obama refused to so much as send up a few drones to crush the Toyota truck/technical convoy. A few A-10s could have blown away the entire column.
Of course, had we not sponsored 'freedom' in Syria, there wouldn't be any ISIS.
We could abound in speculation as to whether this is planned (to some degree)- or rather that the administration really is a collective of total incompetents.
Or both.
Zero & Co.: Easier to fight in the streets in structure to structure urban combat. And by Zero & Co. I mean Barry and his pals.
Never let a crISIS go to waste.
False flag in 3....2....
Of course ISIS will take over the air base -- after all, we have supplied ISIS with all the top-of-the-line weapons they need to do it!

ISIS has breached America's borders and immigration system and US citizenship (before Bush left office) as well as the US Congress.

Well you got a community organizer as POTUS, one who has no clue when to step away and keep his mouth shut.
You guys should have elected Ron Paul, but the MSM made him appear like an incompetent. Shows you MSM doesn't know much of anything.
Cudda been worse, ya cudda had the smiking chimp.
double sorry
Horseshit. POTUS says what he is told to say. If he deviates from the script he ends up like Kennedy, and he knows it. Likewise, MSM knows exactly what it's doing. All these people we bitch about are just doing their jobs. We're just in denial about what those jobs are. The system works... we're just in denial about it's purpose.
Ok...presuming that is true, why would anyone seek that office?
To be under constant threat of death?
The sweet retirement?
Enjoys the abuse?
I don't doubt that there is a cabal of oligarchs running things just a serious question of why someone would seek out misery and subjugation?
"Ok...presuming that is true, why would anyone seek that office?"
Because many of our kind love to put their thumbs down on others. It's the modern 'leader' syndrome where he/she is the chosen one, while the rest are lowly morons.
Well, he sure didn't seem like a eager Beaver when I wasted my money on his campaign. He let the Republicrates walk all over him.
Spoiler Alert..This movie came out in June of 2014..The Sci-Fi thriller "The Edge of Tomorrow",in which Tom Cruise is thrown into a time loop,"forcing him to live out the same combat over and over,fighting and dying again..and again"
I just finished reading a book on the life of Genghis Khan. The ISIS army and the early days of the Mongol conquests into China bare striking similarities. The way the Mongols would take a city and recruit followers, exterminate resisters is the same. The al-Asad base won't last long ..
So Genghis Khan was actually Al CIAduh too?
Fascinating!
It would appear; CIA trained ISIS is better than Pentagon trained Army/Marines. You have Dark American forces Vs Legitimate American forces now in the Middle East. Sad really.
Obama engineers these defeats .... along with his Muslim Brotherhood cohorts .... he micro-manages everything .... just like Hitler .... so, he is not taking orders from Jewish bankers !
Apparently the Marines today are a bit different than when I 'served'. 300 Marines with air support and resupply could easily take care of the rabble called ISIS.
Don't take me wrong,,, I don't feel we have any business there and should return all our military home.That said, if ISIS does take the base than either the command is compromised and politicized or today's Marines are wusses.
or both...
Time for diplomacy; war is wearing out its welcome. Bring 'em home now.
8 guys 300 marines. You're kidding. If they sent 1000 guys, same result. Sorry.
