Troops are now going back into Iraq, this was just confirmed, so much for Obama ending the wars, we can erase that off the chalkboard as one of his successes.

Who do you believe are funding these militants, are we expected to believe this group made such progress in a weeks time without a larger backing.

Weapons manufacturers...already discussed that weapons from Middle East and Eastern Europe manufacturers likely finding their way into their hands
oil companies...could be big losers in this; more restrictive terms of oil; higher pricing; rebels control who, what, how they sell crude
big banks...rebels control means bank losers too for similar reasons

Syria...gains because likely partners with rebels through funding and support
Pakistan...desired gain to avoid rebels entering their country too
Putin...gains ally through arms and finances

275 Marines in country to "protect US citizens (embassy people).
Should have been an extraction team instead.

Higher oil prices are good for the US dollar(not good for the average consumer) since the dollar is backed by oil.  Banks and oil companies benefit from the artificial high price of oil.  This will only work so long as the US dollar is the world reserve currency.

Agreed, but still should be extracted.  Embassy can be breeched. Any attack
of that nature will pull us in 100%.

The only way it works is if the rest of the world plays along.  Let's not forget, the US taxpayer bailed out the banks in the tune of nearly 1 trillion dollars to prevent an economic collapse and civil unrest.  Then the Federal Reserve went into their QE policy, capitalizing banks with trillions of more dollars.  With inflation starting to creep in due to the excessive money printed, the commodity that backs the US dollar needs to go up in value.  That spreads the US inflation problem around the world.  The other countries can only put up with the burden of US inflation for so long until it results in impoverishing their own people.  Then they will go to war to get out from the world monetary system that is impoverishing them.

The reason the US is going back into Iraq is to assure the Islamist don't take control and get rid of the Iraqi central bank and prevent them from trading their oil in a currency other than the US dollar.  The same reason Iran and Libya are such threats, they want to get off the dollar to sell their oil.  They know, that would devastate the US more than any 9-11 style attack.

While it's a "fortress" against smallish attacks from car/truck bombs and groups with light to medium weapons, it is in NO WAY designed to hold back a full fledged army with heavy weaponry.

ISIS is a full fledged army with heavy weaponry. If they are not stopped and get a foothold in Bagdad before our personal are evacuated, then all is lost. They will lay siege and burn it to the ground. The lucky ones will be those burned to death inside.
