PENTAGON FLAK DOWNPLAYS EXTREME DANGER 300 + U.S. MARINES FACE ON THE GROUND AT AL-ASAD AIR BASE IN IRAQ - ISIS SUICIDE SHOCK TROOPS - SOME WEARING EXPLOSIVE VESTS - GET WITHIN TWO KMS OF MARINE ENCAMPMENT WHAT WILL HUSSEIN DO IF ISIS ENGAGES GRUNTS AND EVEN CAPTURES SOME? - WILL OBAMA WHITE HOUSE LODGE AN IMPOTENT "PROTEST" IF ISLAMIC KILLERS BURN OR BEHEAD AN AMERICAN MARINE?

© 2015 MilitaryCorruption.com

It's only a matter of time.

The neighboring town of Al-Baghdadi is said to be 90 percent under ISIS control. Even Pentagon flak, ADM John Kirby, admits the main air base at Al-Asad, where more than 300 U.S. Marines have been training Iraqi troops, is under daily mortar attack.

The most recent attack, on the base itself, was conducted by 25 ISIS terrorists, all of whom were killed before the fight was over. Several of the fanatics were wearing explosive vests they detonated before they could be slain.

This was obviously a probe. A much-larger attack is only days or a few weeks away. The Obama bootlickers in the Pentagon Public Affairs Office would have us believe the daily mortar attacks on the main base are "infrequent" and "ineffective." But how long before the Marines find themselves under heavier bombardment, surrounded and unable to be safely extracted from the bull's eye they presently occupy?

WHAT IF THE WORST HAPPENS?

A Marine always fights best when he is on the offense. We learned a bitter lesson about that at Khe Sanh in Vietnam. So did the French at Dien Bien Phu.

What is the plan, or is there one?

God forbid the ISIS captures even one Marine in the fighting to come, puts him in a cage and sets him afire. Will Hussein stop his golf game at Palm Springs long enough to offer more than BS phrases like: "The enemy is on the run" or "ISIS is just the J.V. squad"?

BAM'S PENTAGON MOUTHPIECE

ADM John Kirby may get another star for his pitiful performance carrying water for the "commander-in-chief" in parsing words and trying to put lipstick on a pig, but we think the American people, and certainly not the military, are that easily fooled.

When Obama can't bring himself to even acknowledge the beheading murders of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians - thank God the Pope did - he called them Egyptian "civilians."

At least when Bill and Hillary Clinton went to church on Sunday and waved the Bible in the air coming out the front door, they paid lip service to being "Christian." Obama, who one time in a Freudian slip (caught on tape) told an ABC NEWS interviewer about his "Muslim faith" before being reminded of his campaign claim to be "Christian," couldn't even be bothered to put on an act. You can find him Sundays on the golf course.

Worse---and Glenn is probably unaware of this, is the fact the scum just burned 21 people alive just 5 miles away in the town of Al-Bhagdadi! This is ridiculous.

There are so many ignorant young people who are totally unaware of what's going on in our government and overseas. My generation (baby boomers) is screwed up but not nearly as vapidly stupid as the XYZ'ers and the milleniuls.

If the US Military were not head over heals in love with obama, he would have been dealt with long ago. Every branch has snipers capable of taking out a golfer at a mile or more.

If the US voter was not head over heals in love with the muslim scum in the oval office he wouldn't have gotten reelected. Look at this: www.gallup.com/poll/11398...y-Obama-Job-Approval.aspx

The Marines at Al-Asad now have Apaches in support (a lot closer or on base) and now have fast movers supporting as well.

The above is bumpkis if the current ROE with a nation we don't have a SOFA with does not allow the use of the fire support assets.

There is a difference. Our troops in Iraq under CENTCOM and not that circus AFRICOM.

There are fighter jets flying out of a base in the Gulf and probably carriers not far away. They will get close air support if they need it.

My concern is what the ground rules are or the threshold to get that support.

I recall that Iraq and other Arab countries invested heavily in the Eighties in armored aircraft facilities like hangars and such, following the old Soviet model.

With advances in weaponry seen in the first Gulf War of the early Nineties, it became clear that armored hangars and support buildings were quite vulnerable to American airpower.

I assume there are still a large number of these old armored hangars and support buildings at this airbase. It was Saddam's biggest base, I think. I recall that it was some Yugoslav companies that built most of these in Iraq and around the Mideast.

The best airbase with the least amount of damage and intact shelters is Balad.

However, I don't think we are flying fixed winged aircraft out of Iraq anymore. The AF security requirement for an airbase in a theatre of war must meet a certain threshold of US forces vs. coalition and add threat assessment. And of course I understand why they do this. I don't want my CAS and AI getting shelled or pilots downed.

Most are flying out of other Gulf states and utilizing air tanker support.

That's why guys who had my job became instant friends with the ALO/TACP and ASOC squadron commander.

CZ knows the deal so pinged him.

I'm just saying that our troops are not in immediate danger if they have access to an armored hangar or other secure quarters. You'd have to have a truck bomb or small artillery to make a dent in those, not just some suicide vest jihadi.

At some point, ISIS could become an artillery threat. It would suit them well if they have enough suitable munitions. You have to wonder what stockpiles ISIS has seized.
