Here, via Khaled Abdullah\’s article at CBS News, is the latest from Yemen – which President Obama touted as a “success” just a half year ago:
A day after suicide bombers attacked a pair of mosques in the Yemeni capital, the U.S. military decided to pull the remainder of its troops out of the rapidly fragmenting nation, CBS News confirmed Saturday.
CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports that the withdrawal of about 100 special operations troops would be completed within hours.
Martin reports that no direct threat prompted the decision. Instead, it was the overall deterioration of the country.
Does that look like a success to you?
Before you answer….please consider President Obama\’s other foreign policy “successes”. Like, for example, the Russia reset, Syria, Libya, Egypt – and his current effort to give the store away in Iran, while crapping on Israel.
Compared to those “successes”, maybe Yemen isn\’t so bad after all.
Two more years of this nightmare. Please make time go faster.
