Why would we possibly have an Embassy in Yemen?

Yumpin’ Yemeni. If they don’t want us there and there are not enough civilized people to carry on any possible dialog, then so be it.

Obama has issued a statement that he was actually unaware that there was a US embassy in Yemen and is, thus, not in any way responsible for its defense.

If any of our embassy personnel were killed, the story will be something about they were in a car accident fleeing the embassy, crashed. Then we’ll have to wait for the truth from some UK papers...

Was this directed by Obama, or in response
to his ultimate showing of weakness?
