200 U.S. Contractors Surrounded By Jihadists In Iraq, Escape Routes Are Cut Off, And No Help Is Coming

“I am very optimistic about Iraq. I think it’s gonna be one of the great achievements of this administration.” – Vice President Joe Biden in 2010 …

By Jeromo R. Corsi, WND – “About 200 Americans under contract with the Department of Defense at Balad Air Force Base in Iraq are trapped by the al-Qaida-inspired jihadists who have seized control of two cities and are now threatening Baghdad, according to WND sources.

The sources, private contractors who have recently returned to the U.S. from Iraq, said Friday their former colleagues effectively have been abandoned by the U.S. military and are fighting for their lives against an army of jihadists surrounding the base who belong to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS.

The U.S. contractors are at Balad to help the Pentagon prepare the facilities for the delivery of the F-16 aircraft the Obama administration has agreed to provide the Iraqi government.

The surrounded Americans said they currently are under ISIS fire from small arms, AK47s, and rocket propelled grenades, or RPGs.

The contractors so far have been able to hold the base, but those on the scene reported it was only a matter of time before the ISIS terrorists succeed in breaking through the perimeter…

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.” Read more.

    Obama said “If its Sharia get along with it” All of these contractors will have there heads cut off if they surrender and Obama couldn’t care less. he probably paid these ISIS people to come in and do this since he’s been paying terrorists all along. And these are the people who represent the religion of peace……my ass!!!
