US Embassy in Yemen Releases Emergency Message “Depart Immediately” You Are On Your Own

We strongly recommend that U.S. citizens traveling to or residing in Yemen enroll in the Department of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). STEP enrollment gives you the latest security updates, and makes it easier for the U.S. Embassy or nearest U.S. consulate to contact you in an emergency.

“Make plans to depart immediately.”

Can’t depart immediately if you have to first make plans.

Would this mean depart now or make plans to depart immediately when the embassy says to ‘depart’?

The military would call it “Drop your C***s and grab your socks” time.

“You Are On Your Own”

Might as apply to most Americans

“Wasn’t that airhead chick for the State Department...”

There are two of those State Department young women who appear to be in their early 20s and they ARE airheads - when I hear them speak, I wonder if they passed potty training.

Sad. Later if/when it's announced that US lives were lost at the US Embassy in Yemen; Fomer SOS Clinton will remark....

 

 

What Difference Does it Make?

On the US Embassy web site in Yemen:

Due to ongoing security concerns, the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa is unable to provide routine consular services but remains open and operational and is providing emergency services. We are continuously analyzing the security conditions and will resume regular consular operations as soon as possible.

The U.S. Department of State warns U.S. citizens of the high security threat level in Yemen due to terrorist activities and civil unrest. The Department urges U.S. citizens not to travel to Yemen. U.S. citizens still in Yemen should make plans to depart immediately. U.S. citizens seeking to depart Yemen are responsible for making their own travel arrangements. Travelers should reconfirm flight schedules with their airline prior to going to the airport. Flight cancellations occur frequently. There are no plans for charter flights or other U.S. government-coordinated evacuations.

Once upon a time U.S. citizens could go to the embassy where they could be protected by Marines then evacuated by the U.S. military.
But that’s when we had adults in charge.

[Responsibility2nd]

They sure would. But just like Benghazi, I have no doubt that Obama has ordered the military - If there are any around - to STAND DOWN.

And if our Ambassador is anally raped and murdered? That would be too bad. Again.

...heard the State Department just raided the gift shop at EOD...

...plans on sending all the Embassy staff in that region new T-shirts...

..."If you see me running, try and keep up"...

[TexasCajun]

Obama is easing Iran sanctions and freeing up US-held Iranians funds while Iran supports Syria's Assad, the “rebels” overthrowing Yemen and Palestinians War on Israel.

[MacNaughton]

9 Your are on your own. Gee. Where have I head that before?

... and 4 years after that ...

[lee martell]

At least with Katrina, the residents could have taken the bus out there, Oh wait, Mayor Chocolate City-School Bus Nagin just allowed the buses to sit on a lot that became submerged. Oops!

[thackney]

Oil/gas fields. That is why I was there in 93~94.

[Bobalu]

One for all, all for one, and every man for himself!

[tcrlaf]

Gosh...
Another Obama foreign Policy victory!!
(And if you dare to say otherwise, you are a RASSISS!!)

[Responsibility2nd]

Ray Nagin? Ray Nagin?

Ohh. You mean Federal Inmate No. 32751-034

My God.

Imagine living in a foreign country and your U.S. Embassy told you “you're on your own”, how do you suppose that would make you feel? I would bet the farm, those in the Embassy would get first dibs on the aircrafts seats getting out of there. You "little people" can take a camel or donkey, etc. Too bad!
