Iran’s Takeover of Yemen

Chaos, disaster and death that will remain ongoing for as long as this administration remains in charge, chasing its self-aggrandizing "historic" legacy

Adding an exclamation point to the folly of the “deal to make a deal” outcome of the Iranian nuclear negotiations, Iran-backed Shi’ite rebels in Yemen in the coastal city of Aden.

Houthi rebels had fought their way through the commercial district of the city before taking over the Maasheeq palace, the former home of Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi. Hadi fled the country for Saudi Arabia last month, when it became apparent the Houthi advance was succeeding. Previously he fled to Aden from the rebel-held capital city of Sanaa.

Making the most of the ongoing chaos in Yemen, al Qaeda terrorists raided and captured the coastal city of al-Mukalla, freeing about 300 inmates held captive in a local prison. Senior al-Qaida operative Khaled Baterfi, who had been held since 2011, was one of the inmates liberated in the assault. Yemeni security forces also noted that al Qaeda has deployed its forces across major roads leading into the city, in an apparent attempt to prevent anyone from retaking it. Al-Mukalla is in the province of Hadramawt, most of which still remains controlled by forces loyal to the exiled president.

In a nut shell:

“...As the events unfolding in Yemen reveal, Obama’s judgment is infused with a level of denialism so profound, reality itself becomes irrelevant. It is astounding to note that in the space of the last few months, the administration has gone from backing Hadi, to making overtures to the Iranian backed-rebels, to subsequently backing a Saudi collation to topple the rebels when they rejected those overtures.

All the while they bend over backwards to accommodate Iran and its regional ambitions—all of which are utterly inimical to the Saudi coalition...”

This is what you get when the guy in the WH is a pathological liar and a functional illiterate .... who is bought and paid for by OTHER pathological liars and illiterates with no accountability and no goal EXCEPT to accomplish their OWN clandestine and totally anti-American agenda.

The situation is actually even much worse then this excellent article demonstrates. There are American citizens trapped in Yemen. Most countries have taken action and pulled their citizens out. China, India, Pakistan and even Djibouti have aggressively gone in and pulled them out. Obama on the other hand, is leaving our citizens there to die. He could care less. His ego makes admitting absolute and horrific failure beyond his capacity. In fact it is beyond the capacity of progressives in general.
