Obama has said he would stand with Israel. The Yemeni president thought he had their back too.

Internationally, nations should know by now that they cannot trust this clown.

This has been going on for WEEKS, months even. Who in the heck kind of mother, parent, husband, wife ignores the warnings? Why were they still even there?

A State Department official, speaking on background as per U.S. diplomatic protocol, wouldn’t address the lawsuit seeking an evacuation order or provide information about how many American citizens are believed to be in Yemen. The official said U.S. authorities are monitoring the situation closely but that “there are no current U.S. government-sponsored plans to evacuate private citizens.”

“The situation in Yemen is dangerous and unpredictable,” the official said. “Sending in military assets, even for an evacuation operation, could put U.S. citizen lives at greater risk.”

There's a website, Stuck In Yemen. I wonder if John Kerry has seen this?

There's some validity to that. Be aware of the situation while traveling to third word hell holes.

For the US to turn it's back on it's citizens though. Hope and Change, the new normal.

Perhaps if they said they were LGBT, Kerry and Obunghole would make an effort to help them.

The LGBT thing didn’t help the US Ambassador in Benghazi, did it?

There are typically excellent vacation deals under these circumstances. The food is usually excellent and diving in the Arabian sea is beautiful. The locals are pleased to see Westerners have confidence in them. Hotel and excursion service is first rate.

But of course one must have their wits about them and be alert at all times for changing circumstances.

But what if those people were from Mexico or Central America? Bet Obama would want those Democrat votes back in America pronto.

Yep, I’m sure there are ‘good’ deals to a lot of places - Lebanon, Damascus, Cairo, etc.

Yes,

“Be aware of the situation while traveling to third world hell holes”.

Depressing isn’t it?- the US turns it back on citizens?

LGBT worthy to rescue? Not on Junior’s watch- he could care

less .

That’s the answer.

BO’s MO. Same as Benghazi. Initiates a fight and then leaves U.S. citizens stranded.

The LGBT remark was sarcasm, since they are the latest “in” thing, I couldn’t resist.
