Breaking! A story that is going to have legs as they said and could be very big. Thanks to Freeper in all instances.

1. "BREAKING: Reports Claim ISIS Just Captured al-Asad Air Base Where 300 U.S. Marines Could Be Trapped"

"This is a story with various reports flying from multiple directions and it’s hard to get a grasp on exactly what’s happening. What we know at the moment is that ISIS is claiming it has seized control of the al-Asad air base in the Ramadi area of Iraq. According to multiple twitter feeds the Iraqi army has lost contact with its people inside the base. From what we can tell the 300 Marines are on location to train Iraqi military."

2. "ISIS on the doorstep? Fighters reportedly seize Iraqi town near base holding US Marines"

"Islamic State fighters reportedly seized most of a western Iraqi town on Thursday, in fighting taking place mere miles from an air base where hundreds of U.S. Marines are training Iraqis."

"'Ninety percent of al-Baghdadi district has fallen under the control of the insurgents.'"

3. "ISIS Captures Iraqi Town, Threatens Airbase Where U.S. Marines Are Training Iraqi Troops"

"Reuters reports that the Islamic State has taken over most of the Western Iraqi town of al-Baghdadi, putting them dangerously close to the Ain al-Asad air base, where 320 U.S. Marines are engaged in training soldiers from the Iraqi 7th Division."

"Al-Baghdadi, about 85 km (50 miles) northwest of Ramadi in Anbar province, had been besieged for months by the radical Sunni Islamist militants who captured vast swathes of northern and western Iraq last year."

4. "ISIS Fighters Reportedly Seize Parts Of Iraqi Town, Threatening U.S. Marine Base"

"Islamic State insurgents took control on Thursday of large parts of the western Iraqi town of al-Baghdadi, threatening an air base where U.S. Marines are training Iraqi troops, officials said."

THOSE MARINES HAVE THE SUFFICIENT ORGANIC FIREPOWER THEY NEED? I DOUBT IT. BUT ARE ABLE TO CALL ON AN UNLIMITED AMOUNT OF AERIAL FIREPOWER FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES ON DEMAND? I SURELY HOPE SO.
