US, Britain Withdraw Last Personnel Including Special Forces Out of Obama Success Story Yemen, Because It's Such a Success People are Murdering Each Other With Fire

You can't spell "Obama success story" without "succ."

Britain reportedly has withdrawn its remaining special forces from Yemen, days after a similar U.S. move, in response to the worsening security that the U.N. envoy for Yemen described as the "edge of civil war."

The reported development comes as Yemeni Foreign Minister Riyadh Yaseen called on his Arab neighbors to intervene militarily to stop the inroads made by Shiite Houthi fighters in the predominantly Sunni Muslim country.

Reuters, quoting a person familiar with the matter, reported on the U.K.'s withdrawal of its special forces. Britain withdrew staff from its embassy in Sanaa last month and suspended operations because of the deteriorating security situation there.

The U.S. Embassy suspended operations last month for the same reasons, and Saturday the State Department said "the U.S. Government has temporarily relocated its remaining personnel out of Yemen." The Associated Press reported over the weekend that U.S. military forces, including Special Forces commandos, evacuated the Al Anad air base near the southern city of al-Houta, which was seized by al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula.

By the way, if this were happening under Bush, the fact that the Administration had declared Yemen a "success story" just a year and change ago would be the second sentence in every story.
As this is unraveling under the Idiot Prince, the media is only slightly interested in such irony.

But I shouldn't claim they're not interested at all. In fact, one reporter asked Josh Earnest if the President stood by his claim that Yemen was a "success story" and could serve as a "template" for counter-terrorism operations.

As the nation literally burns -- literally, shit's on fire everywhere -- Josh Earnest incredibly claims that statement is still Perfectly Correct.


Yemen is now in such a state that it's not even considered safe for our SEALs and Delta Force fighters, but hey, It's Obama's Kind of Success Story.

Obama Success Level: Critical.

There are some very silly export laws, yes. In the olden days, I could download a CD image of OpenBSD from a Canadian server (completely legally), & then burn a CD in the United States, & hand that CD to a Canadian & I would be breaking federal law on exporting strong cryptography. They've since amended some of those laws, but it's still silly.

So Cabelas gets a shipment of night-vision stuff from China, & suddenly it's illegal for them to sell it back to someone in China, or Yemen. But the Chinese can sell 'em all they want.

Also, don't just think defensive use. A few hundred pairs will give them offensive capabilities due to a superior technology advantage.

319 What is wrong with that man? How did he ever think he could do the job of President of anything?

What a disaster the whole world is with just a few years of a complete idiot in the whitehouse.

We've had losers before but Obama just tops them all.

And history will probably not even reflect the truth because he is the first black President, and you can't hurt anyone's feelings by telling the truth anymore.

422 >>> No, "shit" is not "literally" on fire.

Since the new rule this week is anything over 100 comments turns into a Ted cruz thread, I'll bite...

I laugh, LAUGH that the MSM freaked out over his "world on fire" comment. I bought books from Scholastic about animals and saving the planet, and was convinced we were all going to die, all the animals were doomed, and acid rain would melt all the buildings. I did not get hyperbole and that people would willingly lie to me.

If the left is going to freak out over Cruz, they first need to step back their own fearmongering comments that are scaring a new crop of kids. Until they do I refuse to take their protestations seriously.

423 We're all going to have to get used to the fact that history will not remember how lousy the presidency of "Barrack The Historic First" has been for the US and the rest of the world.
By virtue of his skin color, his place is secure. No matter what else he "accomplished", that fact alone assures that he's mentioned in the Top Ten of any historian's poll of "Greatest Presidents Ever." At least top ten.

Quite.

Note also that if this had happened with a Republican president in office, and that on the very day there was a retreat under fire by American special ops units, that President had spent his working day out of town, taking in A GODDAMNED COLLEGE BASKETBALL GAME, then we would have heard no end of it.

Nah. Ironically, he's guaranteed that he will eventually be forgotten.

Either he'll achieve his goal, the country will be permanently tribalized, and he'll be forgotten following the subsequent collapse, or we'll finally stop with all this race nonsense, and no one will care about dog whistles when criticizing him. He'll be the great tragedy in that the first black president was one of the worst presidents on record.

--------------------------

You're not thinking far enough ahead.

Eventually, one of two things will happen. The first option, and the bad one, is that the Progs will manage to succeed in tribalizing everyone. This will eventually lead to the collapse of the country. The US will be consigned to the dust heap of history, and only a handful of historians will remember that some guy named Obama was ever president.

The second, good, option is that we manage to put all of this racial crap behind us. The color of your skin becomes as important as the color of your hair or the color of your eyes. It might provide clues to potential medical conditions, and some people might think one skin tone looks "cuter" than another skin tone. But aside from that, no one will care where your ancestors hailed from. "Historic First Black President" becomes just an interesting footnote appended to the career of an otherwise disastrous president.

There is no middle ground where things continue on as they are because things CANNOT continue on as they are. Either we'll get over our racial crap, or the country will implode. Either way, no one will care who the first "black" president was, or who the first "woman" president was, anymore than they now care who the first "Catholic" president was.
