Losing Yemen...

Iraq, Libya and being humiliated by Assad. The list of failures under Obama is becoming frightening

The last US special forces have been withdrawn from Yemen without exciting much notice from the US press. Max Boot tweets: “All US SOF evacuating Yemen. Huge win for AQAP, huge defeat for US. How many foreign policy disasters can we handle?” Reuters reports, “the United States has evacuated its remaining personnel, including about 100 special operations forces, from Yemen because of the deteriorating security situation there, U.S. officials said on Saturday.” This means that the last vestiges of what the Obama administration only recently touted as their model counter-insurgency operation are gone. The collapse has flown largely under the media radar.

Last week Craig Whitlock of the Washington Post reported that $500 million dollars in American supplied weapons are now in the hands of “Iranian-backed rebels or al-Qaeda”. The Islamist blitzkrieg is living off huge quantities of captured US materiel.

“We have to assume it’s completely compromised and gone,” said a legislative aide on Capitol Hill who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

U.S. military officials declined to comment for the record. A defense official, speaking on the condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the Pentagon, said there was no hard evidence that U.S. arms or equipment had been looted or confiscated. But the official acknowledged that the Pentagon had lost track of the items.

Obama called it a success meaning this is what was intended......handing it to Iran.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

This is what happens when you don't throw the full weight of your forces at your foe. Obama is a disaster, a complete unadulterated disaster

 

[bendog]

We should never have sent military aide over there, but had we done the sane thing, Boom Boom McCain and his lap dog Graham would have howled like the proverbial Missouri Mule being beaten.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Which would also explain why we left so much equipment behind.

Round Two

A kind of tipping point may have been reached in recent weeks. Eric Schmitt of the New York Times reports that with the loss of Yemen, America has been deprived of one of its main bulwarks against Islamist forces. “The evacuation of 125 United States Special Operations advisers from Yemen in the past two days is the latest blow to the Obama administration’s counterterrorism campaign, which is already struggling with significant setbacks in Syria, Libya and elsewhere in the volatile region, American officials said Sunday.”

The loss of Yemen as a base for American counterterrorism training, advising and intelligence-gathering carries major implications not just there, but throughout a region that officials say poses the most grievous threat to United States global interests and to the country itself. …

Losing Yemen, I didn't know it was ours...

 

[bendog]

Using Yemen, I didn't know it was ours...

Yeah, the House of Saud bought it ... including the terrorist links.

Unleash the most powerful military in the world, no ROE, no games, just death to the muzzies, if they regroup (and they will) kill them again and keep on killing them until they are no more

 

[Sunni Man]

The U.S. needs to withdraw its forces from other peoples countries.

Seems like all we do is support brutal puppet dictators with money and weapons.

And then can't figure out why the people there hate us. .......

Iraq is and always will be Bush's fuck up
Libya yep should have let it be but IMF wanted a central bank there and they got it
Yemen isn't the US's and never will be
Syria same thing.

This scary ignorance of republicans that the US is the police man of the world and gets to tell others how to act,do what the US says etc needs to come to a screeching halt. If it takes a terror attack or destruction of a US army unit or something then so be it.
