No Swiss help?
Obama has said he would stand with Israel. The Yemeni president thought he had their back too.
Internationally, nations should know by now that they cannot trust this clown.
This has been going on for WEEKS, months even. Who in the heck kind of mother, parent, husband, wife ignores the warnings? Why were they still even there?
“The situation in Yemen is dangerous and unpredictable,” the official said. “Sending in military assets, even for an evacuation operation, could put U.S. citizen lives at greater risk.”
There's a website, Stuck In Yemen. I wonder if John Kerry has seen this?
What about “No American Left Behind”?
Our enemy islamist President is happy for any situation in which Americans can come to harm.
All they have to do is defect to the other side and Obola will move heaven earth, trade a few Gitmo prisoners to get them out.
But what if those people were from Mexico or Central America? Bet Obama would want those Democrat votes back in America pronto.

BO’s MO. Same as Benghazi. Initiates a fight and then leaves U.S. citizens stranded.
I’m not holding this one against Obama, and I didn’t hold the overthrow of Yemen against him either — the place is just plain unstable.
I don’t think the USA would send in a rescue team there no matter who was in power.
Useful travel tips: When your country’s Embassy staff and its Special Forces members bug out of a country that you are currently visiting, leave that country immediately if not before. When your country’s State Department issues a travel warning for a country you are in or want to travel to, leave or do not go there in the first place
A Michigan family “forced from their home in Yemen?” Really? These people probably have dual citizenship but are not from Michigan. We are not being told the whole story, just the bits that will sell articles.
Any Americans not in Yemen because the US government put them there had ample opportunity to get out. They probably didn’t because Yemen is home, not the US. Now they want rescue. Rest assured when it is safe to do so they’ll return “home.” Having said that I didn’t read past the point where I felt the author was not telling us vital information because that would have caused the sympathy factor and thus salability to drop.
Weren’t they told to leave a few weeks ago?

Your damned federal gub mint at work.
And my wife keeps wanting me to go on a cruise out of the country. I told her as long as odumba was pres....NO!
sounds like they are Muslims who are trapped there.
I propose we exchange Bo Berghdal for the remaining Americans in Yemen.
“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.
