I came across this Marine sniper video. You can't see the ISIS suicide bomber or his 7 idiot bomb-vested friends, off camera, all you see is the Iraqi-sniper beading down on the imminent threat in the distance. The one question is, what happens when Achmed, the ISIS suicide bomber, and his suicidal friends, decided they'll suit up and try to overtake a U.S. Marine base? That's right, they had another think coming....and fast.

No mess to clean up - pop goes the weasels.
The official said coalition forces were at least a mile and a half away from the attack, and at no point were they under direct threat from the militants. Ain al-Asad is one of the largest bases the U.S. military has used in Iraq -- roughly the size of the city of Boulder, Colorado, according to a Pentagon spokesman speaking to the Defensenews.com website last year.

As of the end of last year,
there were more than 300 U.S. military
personnel at Ain al-Asad, their primary
role being to train tribal fighters to take on ISIS. According to the BBC,
who sent a correspondent to visit the base late in 2014, the Americans are
situated in a "private corner" of the camp. Read more CBSNews

However, because ISIS, "is quite interested in
this base," these "humanitarian boots," may indeed be drawn in
to "fight for their lives" along side their armed comrades, or die. This was what most of us already saw coming.
Another thing that doesn't sit well with me, for the last six months Obama has
been bombing ISIS with Humanitarian Boots, to no avail and
without the need for Congress' blessing. So why, only NOW, is he's asking for revised "military authorization?" Can anyone say, "Mission
Creep?"
Americans didn't feel that WWII was America's "war to fight," until Pearl Harbor, and many believe
Roosevelt allowed it to happen to draw us into the war, so that he could serve beyond
his two-terms. He was actually inaugurated
into his fourth term, and died in his fourth term. History repeats itself, when we don't learn from it.
