US Special Forces Evacuated From Yemen As Security Situation Deteriorates


Source: Telegraph UK

By Harriet Alexander

5:29PM GMT 21 Mar 2015

America withdrew its remaining 100 special forces troops from Yemen on Saturday, in a sign of the rapid unravelling of the country – which on Friday was hit by one of its worst ever terrorist attacks.

The US soldiers left their base near Al-Houta, after al-Qaeda seized the city.

The US commandos, including Green Berets and Navy Seals, have been training Yemeni military forces in counterterrorism operations, but the Americans have not been involved in direct ground combat maneuvers against militants.

Sources told NBC News that the US Special Operations Forces have been based in remote areas of Yemen and considered relatively secure from enemy threats. But one source said that with this week’s deadly surge in sectarian violence, evacuating American commandos makes sense.

“The threat is too high,” the source said. “Why take the risk?”

Another country falls to terrorists thanks to our ill advised adventure in Iraq.

3. shhh - doesn't matter it seems.

I'm sure that Barry has the situation under control.

I kid.

He spent the day watching basketball games and golfing.  Heck of a job, Barry.

We will later be told that Barry, if he does know about it, found out about it the same way we did...later when he saw it on the news.

What a worthless sack of shit.

In an address on September 10, 2014, President Obama touted Yemen as a counterterrorism success story and said it would be the model for the US’ strategy against ISIS.

“This counterterrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out ISIL wherever they exist, using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground.  This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years.  And it is consistent with the approach I outlined earlier this year:  to use force against anyone who threatens America’s core interests, but to mobilize partners wherever possible to address broader challenges to international order” he stated.

True but the current spate of Muslim mainstream violence is due to the action/inaction of the current weak and spineless occupant of the White House.

Remember the libs poo-poo'ed the Domino theory vis-à-vis Vietnam. Now they're touting the Domino Theory to explain away Obama's incompentence.

And they will blame Bush for decades because they're still blaming Reagan for Obama's economy.

To be honest, I think their right about the domino theory in this case. They just have the wrong precursor .  Obama's support of the Arab Spring and aiding in the overthrow of stable, (if brutal) governments, then add in the withdrawal of troops from Iraq and his unwillingness to perceive ISIS as a threat while they were still in Syria, and we have a collapsing middle east.

Meanwhile Obama is doing everything he can to arm Muslims while damaging our relations with Israel. Putin is doing whatever the hell he wants and Obama just keeps going on vacations and to fundraisers.

I think any republican being elected president will do. In addition, the current "terrific" unemployment numbers will immediately be declared terrible and blamed on the republican.
