A White House spokesman said American efforts in Yemen are a "template that has succeeded," even as President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi was forced to flee the country by boat.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest on Wednesday said that the U.S. still had Yemeni extremists in its crosshairs.
According to media reports, Hadi fled the presidential palace in Yemen as rebels attempted an armed takeover of the city of Aden.
Earnest told reporters that U.S. officials were not aware of Hadi's destination but insisted that American officials still had a level of control over the chaotic situation.
"We have the ability to continue to apply pressure on the extremists," Earnest told reporters. "They are still in the crosshairs of U.S. security forces."
The turmoil in Yemen is particularly problematic for the White House, as President Obama has repeatedly cited the country as a model for his counterterrorism strategy.
These people are delusional.
Figure out just what it is that Hussein wants in Yemen. Perhaps his policy has, indeed, succeeded- for him if not for America and civilization.

Truly we have become just like the old Soviet regime!
sigh..other similar great moments in history:

Yes they have succeeded. Houthis now has the military base used by US troops. It may also have that huge drone site too. Oh hey how about those spiffy weapons valued at around $500mil?

Did you not see the goal posts are in the other direction? Your cowardly desertion will embolden our Islamic enemy (your dear friends) and cost American lives.
Real Americans don't cut and run.
Not for Hadi!
Yes, Obama was indeed successful in Yemen, when you take into account his real goal. Just as Egypt was a failure for Obama.
This becomes an interesting excuse for Saudi Arabia to take over a large part of the Arabian peninsula they don’t control.
Then there’s the greater control over the Red Sea it would give them.
> Josh Earnest on Wednesday said that the U.S. still had Yemeni extremists in its crosshairs.
Yemen would be the ideal location for the “Palestinian” half of the two-state solution.
And that's what America will hear from Network news cast.
...the liberal rags too.
Only if you seek out alternative media or FOX NEWS will you get the truth.
Of course it was a success. He WANTED to remove the ‘moderate’ Moslem government, and instal a jihadist regime...
