True. But in their defense, now that Brian Williams is off the air they have no place to go for hard news.

Yemeni Presidential Election

Press Statement
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
February 21, 2012

On behalf of the United States, I want to congratulate the people of Yemen on today’s successful presidential election. This is another important step forward in their democratic transition process and continues the important work of political and constitutional reform.

Today’s election sends a clear message that the people of Yemen are looking forward to a brighter democratic future. But there is still more work to be done. As part of the GCC Initiative, Yemenis will convene a National Dialogue Conference to address critical issues of national unity and the fundamental structure of Yemeni government and society, while taking steps to address urgent economic, social, and humanitarian challenges. The United States, along with its partners in the international community, will continue to support Yemen as it works to implement these reforms and confront these challenges so that all Yemenis will have the opportunity to realize their potential.

“Well you guys have earned your paycheck obviously.”

In private industry people would be fired and bonuses would not be paid.

In government bonuses will be paid and people will be promoted.

“I’m not at all suprised that they were surprised.”

Yeah, Obola usually finds out about a problem on the nightly news the day after the event. At least that’s what he usually tells us all.

“Yemeni Presidential Election

Now here’s a campaign commercial for the GOP candidate waiting to be written! Weave in that 3 a.m. phone call somewhere too.

Obama opens a door to a room in the White House.......

“Surprise!”

“Wow. Is it my birthday again?”

“Nope. You lost Yemen. Here, cut the cake.”

“I sure love a good surprise. Maybe we can be surprised some more. What do you think, Valerie?”

“Oh, there will be more surprises.”

Yemen was lost by design.

With all the modern communications, satellite intelligence, drone surveys, etc. its hard to believe that Yemen’s collapse came as a surprise.

Speak with the marines who left last and you’ll get the real picture, but it’s doubtful that they will be allowed to give interviews.

The were surprised about how the Arab Spring was a disaster too... They thought the Arabs would be grateful.

The reason the Administration is surprised is because they’re stupid or corrupt. One or the other...
