What about “No American Left Behind”?

That applies to deserters and traitors, not to real Americans.

I would imagine that the Americans left in Yemen are Muslims and have family there.

Don’t really know. If that is really the case then it is a little misleading by not revealing that, IMO.

It does say Muslim groups are behind the effort to get Obama to act.

Obama isn’t going to do squat because a failed attempt and the deaths of possible rescuers on his hands could screw up his legacy.

Well, frankly, Islam doesn’t register on my GASF meter.

I propose we exchange Bo Berghdal for the remaining Americans in Yemen.

The U.S. Embassy is shuttered, with all the diplomats and security guards taken to safety weeks ago.

“All day the question I ask myself is: Why is the United States not helping us?” said Sallah Elhushayshi, 21, of Brooklyn, who said he went to Yemen last year to get married and visit family. As he spoke by telephone from the city of Taiz, gunfire crackled in the background.

Apparently, those remaining in Yemen are recent immigrants who went there to visit family and remained long after official US personnel had evacuated. When Americans go to unstable nations and get caught in some upheaval, there is a definite limit to have far the US should go to assist them. There is a time when folks must assume the risks and consequences for their own decisions.

"A Michigan family “forced from their home in Yemen?” Really?"

Exactly correct, my take is that these people are in fact Yemen but somehow (marriage?) also have a US passport. I would wager very few real US citizen (US passport only) are still in Yemen.

Bingo. Prolly (errantly) assumed Odumbo would have their backs, just like the parasites here at home.
