Thomas Lifson "The massive air base at Ayn al-Assad in Iraq’s Anbar Province hosts 400 US Service members, who are training Iraq Air Force personnel. They now are in danger of serving as hostages to ISIS, which has conquered the nearby city of Al Baghdadi and already threatened the perimeter of the base."

"Under the half-hearted leadership of Obama, such engagement could lead to a major disaster. It all seemed so simple under the illusion that if only the malign US presence were ended, peace, love and happiness would result.
"We are living in perilous times."
That ISIS attack on an Iraqi military base was a lot worse than the Pentagon let on
. . . "That’s disturbing. Over the course of the last several months, ISIS has demonstrated its interest in both attacking this base and in getting at American troops. This latest assault’s incredible success – coming within two miles of American troops – is only going to embolden ISIS forces to continue their efforts to penetrate al-Asad."
US coalition against ISIS is fraying. Gulf Arab partners mull withdrawal over Iran’s involvement . . . "It is feared in Riyadh – and not just in Abu Dhabi – that the joint US-Iranian war effort against the Islamic State is providing a screen behind which the Obama administration is opening doors for Iran to advance its regional aspirations.
"They are adamantly opposed to Obama’s policy in this regard and are loath to lend their air strength for its support. Therefore the entire Gulf component, and not just the UAE, may be quietly taking its leave of the US-led coalition against ISIS."
