In an address on September 10, 2014, President Obama touted Yemen as a counterterrorism success story and said it would be the model for the US’ strategy against ISIS. “This counterterrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out ISIL wherever they exist, using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground. This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years. And it is consistent with the approach I outlined earlier this year: to use force against anyone who threatens America’s core interests, but to mobilize partners wherever possible to address broader challenges to international order” he stated.

UN is powerless. Houthi’s have no announced they are forming a ‘presidential council’. There will be no unity government, and no elections.
Yemen is going to split, likely in a bloody civil war, and Al Qaeda will unite the south’s Sunni population against the ‘apostates’ in Sanaa. This is going to be Syria 2.0
Obama’ record of failure is AMAZING. I’m AWED by it.
Barry’s been sleeping with Brian.
It’s also kind of funny that he thought of Somalia as a success, come to think of it.
If your a radical islamist then his policies have been quite successful.
It’s like his use of the words “The People”, when he says the people have never had it so good, he is talking about his cronies. Or when he says the borders have never been more protected he is talking about for the cartels and illegals. He is a master of multiple meanings on a par with Clinton. After all they both went to law school.
It IS a success story to Barack because he is a terrorist, that’s why.
Isn't the "Arab Spring" so refreshing? The hippies of the world must be loving all the flower pedals raining down under the rainbows from Obambi's apology tour and support for the Islamists to KILL, RAPE, TORTURE, MAIM, OPPRESS, et al. How wondeful I could see in my lifetime my President cause so much havoc in the Middle East. What a guy. Pfft.
He’s always so correct! /s
