This Diplomat Ought To Be Scared

From the New York Daily News: Al Qaeda terrorists in Yemen have offered a golden bounty for the killing of the U.S. ambassador, sending American troops — and even the diplomat’s mother — into high alert.
The terrorists offered three kilos of gold, worth $160,000, for the head of Ambassador Gerald Feierstein.
A smaller bounty — roughly $23,000 — is being offered to anyone who kills a U.S. soldier in Yemen.
The threats, which were posted online Saturday, have terrified Feierstein’s elderly mother, who learned of the bounty Monday.
“I’m worried about it,” said Rose Feierstein, 94, a retired government worker who lives in Florida. “I hope he has sufficient security over there so he won’t be harmed, but I don’t know how good the security is.”

One would hope the Obama administration would have learned something from the Benghazi disaster, but based on what we have heard from the Obama administration, they haven't learned a damn thing and so this ambassador and any soldier in Yemen ought to be really, really afraid for their lives.
