The State Department said in a statement it is removing personnel due to the “deteriorating security situation” in the country. The State Department also said it will continue to engage the Yemeni people and international community to support the country’s political transition. […]

And “misplaces” 500 million in military assets. See link:

Scary stuff since they lost all that ammo. Hope it isn’t any of that extra highly lethal green tip assault rifle ammo.

This counterterrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out [the Islamic State] wherever they exist, using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground. This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years.

Meanwhile he negotiates a nuclear treaty with the main destabilizing influence in the region. What could possibly go wrong?

The U.S hopes to make progress in unifying the embattled country.

Are we going to unify the Sunnis like al Qaeda and ISIS, and the Shiites, all of those groups hate us and want our destruction.
Killing us is a good thing and one of the few things the various Sunni and Shiite groups can agree on.

I don't think we should get involved in Muslim unification, it can only be bad for us Infidels. -Tom

Surprised he had time since he’s so busy “re-assessing” our relations with Israel. Am I disgusted? You betcha!

Well, so much for “success” stories. This JV team might win the tournament.

So in Obama’s America we run instead of fight again. Sure makes me feel good about our country now. Looks like we have become the paper tiger of the world.

Exactly.

This looks like the lit fuse to me.

The Islamic chaos maker is supposed to do just that!

Then the great and heralded Mahdi comes out of the well.

The Muslims should continue to fight each other over there until the Mahdi shows up , no matter how long that takes.-Tom

I would argue that Saudi Arabia and the US are the main destabilizing forces in that region.

The S.O.B. squatting in the White Hut and his fellow travelers *want* Iran to have nuclear-tipped ICBMs in order to check American “aggression.” To Zero’s thinking, the USA is the enemy. Yet Congress won’t impeach, convict, and remove the traitorous b@st@rd.
