U.S Troops in Iraq had their first battle with ISIS early Monday morning when the militant group tried to attack the Ein al-Asad military base, which holds close to 100 U.S. military advisers.
Reports state that American troops decimated ISIS in a two-hour battle that ultimately forced their retreat.
Soldiers were armed with “light and medium” weapons….and fighter jets, whose air strikes against the the militants “silenced their heavy sources of fire.”
Currently, there are no reports of U.S. casualties.
Looks like ISIS had grandiose ideas about how they would fare against our boys….
The U.S. troops, armed with “light and medium weapons,” and were able to inflict casualties against the ISIS fighters, forcing them to retreat, Shafaq News reported.
“US forces intervened because of ISIS started to come near the base, which they are stationed in so out of self-defense,” said Sheikh Mahmud Nimrawi, a prominent tribal leader.
The incident was the first time that American troops clashed with ISIS forces on the ground in Iraq. For several weeks, the United States has led a series of air strikes against ISIS positions in Iraq and Syria, ones aimed at crippling the militant group’s ability to move about the country and coordinate attacks.
ISIS has responded by calling on members to strike out against American interests in the United States and Canada, and also executing Western hostages. Rebels are now reportedly trying to sell the body of American journalist James Foley for a reported $1 million.
Militants are reportedly offering a DNA sample from Foley’s body to prove its authenticity.
“They ask for $1 million, and they will send DNA to Turkey, but they want the money first. They will not give the DNA without the money,” a former Syrian rebel reportedly told BuzzFeed.
The man claimed to be motivated not by greed or a quest for fame, but by a desire to help the mourning Foley family “find closure,” and deemed his outreach as part of a “humanity case.”
The U.S. forces attacked by ISIS in Iraq were part of a small group that remained in the country to offer support and training to tribal fighters.

ISRAEL, WHOSE MOSSAD AGITATED BETWEEN KUWAIT AND IRAQ TO START THE FIRST GULF WAR, AND LIED ABOUT WMD AND SADDAM’S GOING NUCLEAR TO START THE 2ND GULF WAR IN IRAQ, IS ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CREATION OF THE MESS IN LIBYA, WHICH IT FRAMED IN 1986 ON THE BOMBING OF THE LOCKERBIE JET TO GET REAGAN TO BOMB LIBYA, AND RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BLOWBACK (ISIS) REACTION TO ITS DUPLICITY. AND BENJY NETANYAHU IS A LIAR ABOUT IRAN AND AGITATED TO GET ITZHAK RABIN MURDERED, POSSIBLY ORDERED SHABAK (INTERNAL SECURITY) TO PERFORM THE MURDER IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS BECOMING PRIME MINISTER.
ISRAELI MOSSAD, WHICH HAS A DEATH WISH FOR OBAMA BECAUSE OF HIS STATEMENT ABOUT PEACE IN THE MIDEAST WITH LAND SWAPS, WHICH HAS A HIT OUT ON OBAMA ALONG WITH THE OTHER (RIGHT WING) FASCISTS (KKK+AMERICAN NAZI PARTY), MOSSAD IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BLACKMAIL, BRIBERY AND COERCION OF CONGRESS TO OPPOSE OBAMA AND PUT SANCTIONS ON IRAN, WHICH IT IS TRYING TO GET US TO HELP BOMB WITH OUR STEALTH BOMBERS, —MOSSAD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ZIONIST (AIPAC) LOBBY RUNNING OUR FOREIGN POLICY IN THE GROUND, MAKING ENEMIES (LIKE BIN LADEN AND ISIS) AND KEEPING THE MIDEAST CRISIS GOING.
IF OBAMA WANTS TO BE A REAL PRESIDENT, HE SHOULD SHUT DOWN THE ISRAELI LOBBY, BAR NETANYAHU FROM COMING TO AMERICA, CLOSE DOWN THE ISRAELI EMBASSY, CATCH AND SHOOT THE MOSSAD AGENTS OPERATING HERE UNDER DEEP COVER, AND EXPEL ALL THE ISRAELI DIPLOMATS.
(AS WELL AS INVESTIGATE JOE LIEBERMAN’S CONNECTIONS TO MOSSAD AND HIS WORK TO HELP THEM, AS WELL AS INVESTIGATE CERTAIN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS TO SEE WHAT THE ISRAELIS HAVE ON THEM, HOW MUCH THEY HAVE TAKEN IN BRIBES AND WHO HAS BUCKLED TO THREATS AND INTIMIDATION.)
THE (FRAGMENTED) IRS SHOULD ALSO INVESTIGATE THE FALSEFIED 1962 IRS FORM 1024 GIVING THE ISRAELI LOBBY NON-PROFIT, RELIGIOUS STATUS, WHEN IN ACTUALITY, IT IS A POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE FULL OF MOSSAD’S TOP SPIES WHO ARE INVOLVED IN SMEARING OBAMA’S REPUTATION AND WHO WANT HIM DEAD AND ARE WORKING ON ACCOMPLISHING THAT.
