WTF has WWII got to do with Yemen?

Let the Saudis and Omanis deal with it.

It's just tribal clusterfuck of paedos anyway, might as well just waste the place.

sounds more like an Embassy "Panic Attack," from the report by Fox. Keys left in the ignitions, Marines destroying their weapons, private aircraft used to escape...not what one would expect an Informed Embassy to do, or have to do?

US Naval power off the coast of Yemen, yet no indication that they were even aware of any evacuation of the Embassy. Pretty shaky stuff this. 3rd Embassy evacuated or overrun in the past 4 years. Totally unprepared.

But, but, President Obama was touting Yeman as a success as little a a month ago.

What happened?

^Bad info from his State Department no doubt...Kerry is basically, "Unreliable." I did see a post where Kerry was going to run for POTUS AGAIN!

Right.

And the same low information voters will vote for 1 of these losers...

Jen Psaki - what an a**e-licker. Even worse than Jay Carney.

Still, he'd be better than Obama ever was.

I don't think he does. He's not very bright you know.

This has nothing to do with Islam.

That's the thing, though . . . I've always suspected that he's just taking the mickey with his ridiculous views on certain things. He's not dumb by any stretch of the imagination . . .

I could, of course, be wrong!

^
Bailing out of Embassys all over the world is definitely a ridiculous idea...

^ It's not when it is necessary. Embassies are not fortresses, they are places of work. Most of these workers are civilians, usually split locals and dips.

If required they must be evacuated - we were evacuated from Beirut and sent to Cyprus when the shit hit the fan in Lebanon - what do you propose is done, BM?

Think of all the construction workers involved in the rebuilding, it makes building the Keystone XL look like hanging a picture on the wall in comparison and that was touted by Republicans as a "Jobs bill"!

You wingnuts aren't supposed to hate the Job Creators™...

They throw great garden parties. Most International companies have "escape plans," as a normal course of doing business in countries that have a history of unrest.

In Saudi it was stated that the CM had access to several Million $$$$ in brief cases to bribe our way out if and when necessary.

In Qatar it was evacuate to the shipping turn around basin and wait for sea transport out.

Venezuela it was air lift from Company resources.

At no time was it ever mentioned to seek assistance from our Embassy, that being either USA or UK. Working off-shore pretty much makes you responsible for your own welfare imo.

Embassy's of all nations are pretty much a social award for services rendered to the current political party, wouldn't you agree? They do as their heads of state or State Departments, Office of Foreign Affairs instruct. Nothing more. They have no real power. Simply gofer's for political note takers, routine resources for expat documents, sites for listening posts and other intelligence gathering entities, and a face in a foreign country that lets folks there know of your actual existence.

Iran being the biggest boondoggle of all USA Embassy disasters, bringing about the demise of Jimmy Carter, the election of Ronald the Cowboy, as well perhaps the real beginning of Americas entry into political and military misadventures into the Middle East.

It is with this fear that I firmly believe that Obama is tracking in the manner in which he is. He will not become the Jimmy Carter fall guy, although its already been done in Benghazi.

I also believe that when Obama addresses a teleprompter, there is a small subscript that runs in yellow across the lower left side of his prepared statements and reads:

"Remember dumb ass, you are not responsible for anything, you are only the messenger."

So what else is new in our world? Nothing much about a couple killings in Europe this evening? I'm sure the Embassy's are tackling these difficult issues as we compose our essays.

What he means is that he wants someone to die in them so he can bleat endlessly on about it for years.

Yemen is the Al Qaeda headquarters on the Arabian penninsula. The US Embassy there had a huge CIA presence running assets on the ground. Al Qaeda will pretty much have a free hand to operate unhindered there now. With ISIS in Syria and Iraq and AQ in Yemen, the Saudis are between a rock and a hard place.

The region would certainly be a more subdued place if the Yanks were to remove their presence and associations from the ME.

As they've been principle instigators for some time now.

Just an observation.

You really have no clue.

What you say is valid for the Ambos and perhaps CGs for the US and assorted developing countries and some western nations in some posts, but the vast majority of dips are just that; career dips. Public servants with special benefits when overseas - only when overseas.

I guess he, and people like him, wins both ways . . .

Au contaire

If 'Merkins were to beef up their overt & covert assets there we'd see a more positive outcome. The only thing these assholes understand is force and with that whimp Obama, good luck with that.

FFS have you now stopped moaning because he's ordered more drone strikes than Bush ever did?

Nope- the Shiite's will win, and they hate AQ (and vice versa).
