200 Contractors Surrounded
 
If this is true - and I understand that some would object to the source of the report - this sounds pretty consistent to how we reacted to a similar scenario of Americans under attack on 9/11/2012:

http://www.wnd.com/2014/06/200-u-s-c...dists-in-iraq/

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. U.S. forces are not assisting even with air cover so a private extradition flight could land for a rescue, the sources said.

Privately scheduled exit flights have fallen through, sources said, as several private pilots originally scheduled to make the flights have quit.

The sources contend the U.S. military could provide the necessary air cover to protect C-130s or other air transport craft sufficient to make the evacuation, but so far officials have refused to get involved.

The pilots just simply quit and walked away?

Looks like privatization of military operations was a terrible mistake.

As was expecting the Iraqis to fight other Muslims.

As was going into Iraq in the first place.

Who could've seen THIS coming?

When are we finally going to realize we really aren't very good at running the whole world and just give it up?

That's what I want to know.

Sound familiar?

If these were stranded Climate Change Scientists I bet he would of already moved hell and high water to get them out... :rolleyes:

I think just about everyone knew Dave. Why did POTUS let it happen...?

BlueStreak 06-13-2014 01:24 PM

Ummm....I don't think the current POTUS did all I listed on his own. Some of the most egregious errors in my list were existing policy and a foolish conflict already well under way.

BlueStreak 06-13-2014 01:26 PM

As to the gist of your loaded question, Jim;

I don't know. Why don't you share your theory on that?

It's not a theory, he was warned and it was loud and clear.

Wouldn't it be easier to just admit that you voted for a complete idiot than
come here and try to defend him day after day :rolleyes:

Edit: ohh, loaded question, well I think you know.

You're shittin' us right Mike? Not a single source named and it all comes from Jerome 'Birther' Corsi at World Net Daily? That's a reputable source for you guys these days? Wow...:rolleyes:
