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. […]

The U.N. Security Council has called for an emergency meeting to discuss the situation in Yemen as well. The closed-door meeting is expected to take place Sunday. …

Honestly wouldn't blame the Pentagon one bit if there were tanks surrounding the White House one of these mornings.

Don't have to wait until May, either.

Not one word was said that we were leaving personnel behind when the military from the embassy left in a hurry. Whoops - it wasn’t in a hurry according to one of those nitwits (hard to remember which) from the State Dept., AND she said we had every intention of RETURNING.... Hope she reappears for a briefing to answer questions about that! Why? I guess I just want to hear her lie again.

And Iran has naught to do with it? Houthis = Iran. Netanyahu was wrong?

Taking things to the point where “no flesh will be saved” can only be “right” in the eyes of one particular malevolent entity.

ISIS roams about like a demonic plague of Locusts with our humvees etc,., now we’ve supplied another area to turn it over to absolute evil,

They’d have to throw rocks at one another to make war if we didn’t keep going over there to ‘protect’ them and then run away every time a Democrat gets cycled through the White House.

Internal memo must’ve read something like: “how to hand over half a billion dollars worth of weaponry to isis/al qaeda/muslim brotherhood/iranians without looking like your handing it over”

Whats next? a nuke on a drone flown over to our new best friends the Iranians,

US surrendering and abandoning an allied nation. Disgraceful.

Take Congress’s big paychecks away; give them minimum-wage pay, thus they go through each day like the rest of us. No more luxurious living and all the amenities.

It would not be punishment, as most of them (if not all) would see it, but as removing the very thing that is apparently preventing them from focusing on doing what they were elected to do—in all completeness.

Actually that is an insult to Darth Vader and Yoda...Their fictitious existence was far more tolerable and credible than these two schmups...

Not seriously busting yer chops, nothing personal...Just a friendly ribbing...

I wondered the same thing, ‘all seeing eye’ maybe?

She looks like an extra from a bad ‘made for TV’ 1970’s movie about a witches coven,
