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.

Bit off more than they could swallow.
way to go
Here’s how it works. The war cost around a trillion bux and change. COST. Someone buys, someone EARNS. It is a big bank war, using pawns to generate incredible amounts of CASH. Ask dick Cheney, he knows. As long as the war persists inconceivable amounts of money is being made and historically NOBODY WILLINGLY GIVES UP BILLIONS except to wage war. Support the troops? I do and the best thing is to bring them home. Don’t start crying yet, I’m a veteran who served honorably and learned war is ugly, abhorrent, unjust, heinous and egregious and rife with atrocity. No right in it.
Kill all those isidiots!
Kick ass boys, Men!!!
Yay!
What we are noticing in the world is an unholy alliance of elites who wish to re-create the early 1500’s, when the major powers was the global unholy Roman Empire of Charles the 5th, the Sunni Caliphate of Suleiman the Magnificent and the banking empire of the Fugars and Medici. Their seems to be an alliance between 1) the globalist-atheist-left, 2) the plutocratic oil princes of the Persian Gulf who want to establish a global Sunni or Wahhabi Caliphate and 3)the international Zionist banking and brokerage financiers who control the national debts of the NATO nations-the Fed-IMF, World Bank, Bank of International Settlements, This alliance is aided and abetted by the BRAVE NEW WORLD liberal hedonist and feminists.. Their goal is a neo-feudal world ruled by elite liberal lords, progressive plutocratic patricians, with their decrees ruthlessly enforced by Bolshevik bureaucrats or savage “old man of the mountain assassin sects, like ISIS and Al Qaeda who are controlled and financed by ‘Our allies”, the sheiks of Saudi Arabia and Qatar. An alliance implies a common adversary. The hated adversary of the Sunni oil sheiks; the Zionist Plutocrats;,the liberal, Marxist left (like those in the EU and Democratic Party) and their hedonist and feminists supporters are the Conservative, Capitalists, Constitution-loving, Nationalists, Christian, Caucasian, males in the private sector. The goal is the emasculation, enslavement and eradication of all Shia, Hindus and every Conservative, Capitalist, Constitution-loving, Nationalist, Christian, Caucasian males. Every aspect of the agendas, propaganda academic and media indoctrination, foreign and domestic policies are to achieve this end. Whether its flooding Europe with Muslims, or America with illegal aliens-the goal is the same.
So why does America act like the subservient vassal janissaries to the Saudi and qatar sheiks, Ever since 9-11 and George Bush. 15 Saudi Wahhabi terrorist killed thousands of americans in New York and many in the pentagon, but our response was to blame innocent Iraq? We have elinianted every potential rival to riyadh, especially the sia nations like Libya, syria and Iran or deserted and betrayed our allies and let them be over run by Saudi backed ISIS terrorist the wat the democrats betrayed the south vietnamese in 1973
thank you.
…seems legit.
