There seems to be a trend here. Looks like Hillery’s(sp) policy is still in place with Obama’s approval.

How the heck could there be that many in Yemen of all places, unless there is oil or they are possibly quasi-Americans.

For some reason it's not too dangerous for Russia: here and here and here...

Obama might respond if he gets several days of rain in a row (and even then, probably not unless they are blacks, communists, or deserters). Otherwise, he's too busy to protect Americans.

[[administration “declined to organize a rescue mission” for Americans in Yemen?]]

He’s too busy organizing a rescue mission for muslim terrorists who wish to come to America to be bothered with Americans who are in danger abroad (Yet he claims ‘no one left behind’ when he justified his trade for a traitor Bergdahl)

Obama sees an opportunity to kill more Americans.

Probably a number of them. But there are/were a good number of American businesses operating in Yemen. Haliburton being one.

Probably, but that should make O more willing to help them. Frankly, as a normal white male, what used to be thought of as a typical American citizen, I'm a nervous tourist. I don't think that in most countries my embassy will lift a finger for me under this Administration.

I am not sure whether Americans should be put at risk because you decide to travel to areas of risk for you.

It’s open season on Americans everywhere... Everyone knows this ‘President’ doesn’t think we matter except to kiss his a#@ and provide revenue to the state.

American lives aren’t worth a plug nickel.

I don’t feel like the embassy would do a heck of a lot for me ANYwhere anymore; even less where it might be considered risky. I’m not talking conflict tourism. Maybe... South America... or even civilized Europe.

I think our high officials don’t give a crap about ordinary citizens.

On one hand, the State Department has warned Americans since at least February 11th to either stay out of Yemen or get out if they were already there.

Article also says the American embassy has been closed "for months".

Practically all of those 3,000-4,000 Americans still in Yemen will be recent immigrants to the US visiting their home country and families. When people visit unstable nations in the Middle East or elsewhere, they have to assume responsibility for what might happen to them. We don't know all the details, but there has to be some limit to how far the US is expected to go in rescuing people from such situations.

I wonder if the rebels in control now are treating rescue efforts by various nations any differently? The US is probably not their favorite nation a present.
