Got word from a credible source in MARSOC about this. Did some checking and found CNN was first to report it. This appears to be separate from previous evac of diplomats in the region.

How about banning travel to the USA from Pakistan and about 15 other Mid-East/North African/South Asian countries?
would be the cheapest, easiest, most effective anti-terror policy ever.

Rough translation from another intercept:
“OK, boys, we’re going to play a game and the prize is 30 camels and 10 virgins. The objective is to get the Great Satan to close as many embassies and consulates as possible. Do it through the usual chatter pipelines, you know the ones they monitor. Pre-register your objectives with me so I can give proper credit. The contest will run until the Infidel’s holiday called Thanksgiving.”

Time to acknowledge reality. Islamic culture is incompatible with Western values. Engaging them with a widespread Western presence is fruitless and dangerous.

The State Department says that personnel WERE NOT evacuated - according to its daily briefings.
Personnel were either given an "ordered departure" or they were part of the "reduction of staff" - but they WERE NOT evacuated ...

So, judging patterns - Obama has demonstrated to the Islamic world that the USA will shut down and pull out of their territories if there is a ‘credible threat’.
No, I do not think Obama is a coward or misguided.
I think this is all calculated. Part of orchestrating the decline and demise of the USA and giving rise to something..... utterly evil.
Look, Obama was arming Jihadists with MANPADS out of the Annex in Benghazi - handing them over to Syrian Rebels loyal to Al Qaeda that Obama is now going to allow into the USA as refugees.
Obama is the Destroyer, few Americans even today believe his role is to reduce us to ashes.
But I believe, because his words in the past and current actions speak to what most folks will not even allow themselves to contemplate.
Obama will prove to be our enemies’ Manchurian Horse (apologies to Troy).

Another "shiny object" to take your attention away from all the phony scandals. Seems to be working.

Time to acknowledge reality. Islamic culture is incompatible with Western values.The liberals who infest western governments have an amazing ability to doggedly ignore even the most blatently obvious truths.

It is funny that Pakistan was apparently NOT on the evac list last week. What does that mean? /rhetorical

Agreed! He is extremely dangerous and calculating.
It is the end game in his mind.
