The State Department has reportedly deemed any mission to rescue U.S. government assets in war-torn Yemen too risky.
The Wall Street Journal, citing a State Department official, reports that any evacuation point designated in a country where an Al Qaeda affiliate is active and an unstable security picture puts Americans and any U.S. military assets involved at risk.
Instead, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf has pointed to an online system where Americans stranded in Yemen can register to receive updates on opportunities to leave the country. The department has also talked to other countries about Americans joining their rescue missions, she said.
Remember when Obama said that Yemen was a success story?
“But I want the American people to understand how this effort will be different from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil. This counter-terrorism 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.” http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/obama-tonight-yemen-and-somalia-are-models-success_804728.html
And this was just 7 months ago.
Obama is just a utter failure and I dare challenge anybody to say otherwise.
Update: The police officer was shot by a Black thug was white
You think there will be protest in the street or Obama will make any comments about this?
Yeah, don't hold your breath.
