US Marines ordered to SURRENDER WEAPONS before evacuating Yemen Embassy.
The Kelly File/Fox News

Posted on 02/11/2015 6:14:17 PM PST by Toespi

Meghan Kelly just reported that Marines were ordered by the state department to remove clips and surrender weapons before leaving the Yemen Embassy. She reports that it is unprecedented, backed up by Jack Keene. Marines under that order are furious.

Oh my, you are right. Are we under attack from within?

I see three now. All posted about the same time. I’m still looking for the 44 more.

Congress is being blackmailed. If they’re clean they’re being shown ways they can be made to look dirty.

Elsewhere reports insist & imply nothing was handed over, at least intact: http://abcnews.go.com/International/americans-evacuate-yemen-rebels-commandeer-cars-weapons/story?id=28900439

(’course, I’m inclined to think downplaying is part of the plan.)

This is not Twitter, FreeRepublic has never worked very well with everyone shouting the same thing from the rooftops. We change the course of events through strong and long threads that discuss, share, and reinforce conservative thought. All it takes is a second to do a search and check recent threads.

Do you not fully realize what the significance of this Yemen event is? Yet you are still worried about double posting?

I agree with your thoughts, but just didn’t think this was the one to take issue with. I understand you feel differently on this.

2/11/15: USMC leave Sana’a embassy in Yemen, and disarm as per orders from Kerry and Obama.

2.11.79: US Embassy in Tehran, Iran, is breached, with hostages taken.

This is a terrorist attack in both cases.

One of the current leaders of Iran organized the attack in Beirut.

That sounds like a rant from Seldon, Big Bang Theory.

And your all spun up because it would be better if substantive comments were collected in one or two threads, then someone might read what you have to say. Or, maybe not.

JJ......when I posted this thread, it came back as an error. When I looked I saw that it double posted and also noticed another post on the same topic double posted as well. I really don’t care if this is removed, I just want Freepers to know what is going on.

It all depends on the gravity of the story. I think you see what the consensus seems to be. It seems to be working OK.

“Upon our departure, our vehicles and equipment were seized, reportedly, by the Houthis," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said at a briefing to reporters. “We are looking into this. Clearly, it is unacceptable, and we would reiterate that in order to return to Sana'a, respect for property, respect for our facilities is -- is an essential component of that. So, we certainly are requesting they be returned.”

oh REALLY??

Perhaps it would be better if people trying to improve the accuracy of the reports. Here’s a start

This is the first report on the Kelly File. Following this report Jack Keane was a guest and gave insight to the optics in terms of Iran and the impact.

Fox News website has a lot of articles about Iran.

Just a moment ago there was an update about this stating the weapons were disabled.

Feb 11th is a critical date, though. Is it the anniversary of the Revolution?
