ABC News ^ | April 15, 2015 | By MOLLY HUNTER

Hundreds of Americans remain trapped in Yemen and escape routes are dwindling, the U.S. Ambassador to Djibouti said.

Various boats have sailed and motored their way into the port and Ambassador Tom Kelly was on deck to meet the most recent arrivals: 200 people including 11 American citizens, all crammed onto an overcrowded fishing boat. In the past two weeks, 150 Americans have fled to Djibouti. Kelly’s staff speaks with every American who arrives in the port.

Why do I suspect 'the Best we Can' is not very much?

from the “article”:

[it will be harder to leave] especially as some of these larger naval vessels wrap up their operation, and so that’s going to make the ordeal more challenging.”

So WHY are the “larger naval vessels wrapping[ing] up their operation” if they’re still needed????

I get the feeling the Ambassador is running away from the area as fast as he can before he ends up “Stevensed”.

“I think we’re doing the best we can, and we hope that it's going to be good enough to get more people out.”

The fact that is likely true is more disturbing than the lie it was intended to be.

Really, this is the best the US can do?

I wonder how many of those US citizens voted for LIBs/DIMs/ClownPrincenobama?

ABC News has been in Obamas pocket since 2007. Therefore ANYTHING they say about ANYTHING concerning foreign affairs should be taken with a half grain of salt.

Maybe the 11 Americans are the last ones out. It’s a sure thing that Molly, sitting in her cubicle at ABC News in New York doesn’t know.

Who are we to believe any more?

The only 2 people I will believe in Washington are Ted Cruz and Mike Lee.
