We just evacuated one of our main drone bases. How much you want to bet that whole program just fell into the hands of al-queda?

Pulling out of such situations we need to destroy the technology we leave behind, especially since we're under a Commander in Chief that has America on the retreat from the world stage.

US troops out as Yemen vows to counter Iran influence

Aden (AFP) - Yemen’s embattled President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi pledged Saturday to fight Iranian influence in his violence-wracked country after US troops at a key Yemeni airbase were pulled out.

The troops left late Friday for an “unknown destination”, the source at the base in the southern province of Lahj told AFP.

Yemen has acknowledged that American personnel gathering intelligence for drone strikes targeting Al-Qaeda are deployed at Al-Anad.

Yeah.... this can’t be true. It was just a couple of month ago that genius obammy said Yemen was such a success story. The fact the that the press doesn’t point this out is the real problem with our politics.

Yemen’s Civil War Forges Unholy Alliance Between al-Qaeda and ISIS

Over the last six months, the world watched helplessly while Yemen descended from a country with a legitimate government into a civil war caused by an unlawful occupation of the country’s capital and several other provinces by the Houthi rebels. Today, with Sunni tribes fighting alongside al-Qaeda against the Houthis, the Yemen 24 is actually in a state of sectarian civil war, opening the door ...

And we’re not going to try and fight Iran with nuclear talks on the table?

I can’t keep our dance card straight anymore of which side anybody is on. SMH

Take a look at the map. Is Saudi Arabia now going to have to fight their own war?

I have no idea at this point.

We’re back Saudi Arabia and Iran?

As once famously said by Hillary, “What difference does it make?”

If the "whole program" which fell into the hands of Al-Queda consisted of anything other than ashes left over from Thermite ignited components then someone needs to be court martialed.

EVERY military unit dealing with sensitive equipment and documents has the plans and supplies necessary to destroy those things before they fall into enemy hands. This policy goes back to artillery units "spiking" their guns if those guns had to be abandoned during an emergency retreat. Steel spikes were driven down the "touch hole" (A small hole through which the propellant charge of a cannon or muzzleloading gun is ignited) of their guns, thereby preventing your advancing enemy from turning those guns on you.

ISIS takes this view:
When Obama gives you Yemen, ask for Yemen-aid.

Like the old Monty Python “Holy Grail” attack on the French fortress:

“Run away”! “Run Away”!

Why is the US constantly putting itself in this “run away” mode?

Does one see the Russian yanking their staff from their embassies 10 times a year?

US Foreign Policy is on the rocks and was put there by Obama and Kerry. Soon, US diplomatic corps will be withdrawn from every nation...run away Hilliary and John, runaway...

I can only hope you are right.

At this point it doesn’t sound like they disabled stuff, just withdrew to an undisclosed location?

“The fact the that the press doesn’t point this out is the real problem with our politics.”

It is the only reason President Token was elected to begin with; he was the perfect patsy to destroy our way of life, because it is immoral to criticize a mulatto today. Expect more of the same if a woman is in the White House (or a Hispanic, or a homosexual, or another Muslim).
