Earlier this week the United States and other western powers evacuated Yemen, citing concerns about security in the rapidly deteriorating country. On the way out of the country, U.S. Marines were instructed to destroy their weapons and U.S. vehicles were taken over by Houthi rebels.
Now, without a presence there, the State Department is arguing rebel Houthis can be trusted to keep their word and to respect the U.S. embassy until it can be reoccupied. Houthis have been seen on video calling for "death to America," just brought down the U.S. backed Yemeni government and have ties to terrorism.
Last night on The Kelly File, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki tried to explain why U.S. officials are taking the Houthis at their word.
"Do we want to return to Yemen? Absolutely. That's why we suspended our operations, we plan on returning when we can. The Houthies have said they're not threatening, they don't want to go after the United States, well the proof is in the pudding," Psaki said.
Anchor Megyn Kelly pointed out that the Houthis post signs that read "Death to America" at checkpoints and Psaki doubled down on her point about trusting the rebels.
"They have said they want the Americans, they want the westerners to have a presence in Yemen," Psaki said.
In September 2014, President Obama upheld Yemen as a success.
The Peter Principle in full display.
Jen Psaki is the most banal, sophomoric Obama appointee the State department has. I refuse to listen to her or watch her obfuscatory policy comments during her “hate America” press conferences. A gnome out of The Hobbit would do better.
Anyone who takes Psaki seriously has been annointed with lefty bat $hit or worse.Nothing but a token female whose crossed eye commentary proves the exemplary case that modern feminist liberals are the true dysfunctional curse on America, its families and national security.
Psaki should be run out on a rail, tarred , feathered and given a room in the Bowry.Or even better, she should be given to the command group of ISIS, the group she cannot define as terrorist Islamofascists, for their personal use.
Can you please clarify whether you like Jen Psaki or not? ;-)
She is as slimy as Carney.
Surely we can trust them! They clearly state what they want!
Until Obambi came along, I always thought cognitive dissodence was primarily a child's and a liberal college student's disorder. Apparently not. It exist at the highest levels of American and World politics. No wonder the world is no longer looking to the US provide leadership - it's being run by petulant self-absorbed ego-manaics whose beliefs run deep in the river of the socialist/communist MUD flow oozing through time to bring the best down to mediocrity of mediocre.
But who’s better suited to provide inspiration, guidance, and mentoring for her Mini Me, Ms. Harff(sp?)? :=)
The Government in FULL DENIAL and NO ONE has challenged Obozo or anyone else.
The "Twilight Zone" was cotton candy compared to where we are currently.
Saki is one pathetic broad. Totally clueless. I guess that is why the Kenyan guy hired her.
Affirmative Action = Instant Peter Principle.
Always.
Poor Jen, she has taken a beating this week, with her ugly mug she can’t afford much more of this. I predict she will trot out the other half of Dumb and Dumber Harpy (Marie) Harf to take her turn next week.
Well, I don’t know about the U.S. trusting them, but of course the 0bama Administration will trust them. After All, They are 0bama’s Brothers.
Jen is such a twit.
Because, that is the regime’s goal, also.
When I was about five, I realized that wishing for something didn't make it happen. Maybe she's been watching too many Disney movies.
In an email dated march 17, 2014, it was leaked that Ms Psaki was hired for the job because she has red hair. A survey of job fairness for hair color noted there were no prominent red haired people at State.
To end the hair color discrimination a search was made and Ms Psaki discovered.
Airhead pretty-face is doing what she’s told. The problem is with the policy being practiced by the occupant of the Oval Office.
She must be joined at the hip with ValJar. Why doesn,t she just wear the burka 24/7?
