So us trying to nation build and it falling flat, thus leading to this begs the question "What happened to us"?
IF, and I say if because well, WND. But, if the story is true, one would hope we would have an effort already in play to go help those guys. I mean, it aint like we don't have assets in the area.

We would still need permission or otherwise have consent of the Baghdad government - who are ostensibly responsible for our guys safety as it is.
Since the Iraqi army is better at running than fighting - this could be a really bad situation for everyone involved.
