Kristol completely eviscerated this Brennan idiot:
“Closing the embassy in Yemen last night? No one wants State Department officials put at risk, but that is a sign of weakness. Closing the embassy? We can’t protect our own embassy in Yemen, a place where we have special operations forces. A place we say we’re working with the government on the front lines of the war on terror? And there’s a terror threat, and we close the embassy?
Kristol’s damning summation: “That’s a victory for al Qaeda. This last week has been a victory for al Qaeda in that region, I’m afraid.”

Kristol’s comments were excellent.
As were Brit Hume’s as he pointed out how insane it is to still consider sending Gitmo detainees to Yemen.
Too bad there are so few like Kristol catching the lies/ distortions of the left.
I just saw that clip, and Kristol is absolutely right.
These people are going to get a lot of us killed.
The UK has also closed its Embassy in Yemen due to the security threat. We have done this before in Yemen and other countries when it appears that an attack is imminent. I assume it is only temporary. I support the protection of our personnel. It is only prudent to do so.
