Susan Rice: ‘No Military Solution’ In Yemen Either
breutbart.com ^ | 4/30/2015 | Charlie Spiering

As the Obama administration claims that there is “no military solution” to militant attacks in Iraq, Ukraine, and Syria, White House National Security Advisor Susan Rice has added Yemen to the list.

“As in Syria, there is no military solution to the crisis in Yemen,” Rice said during a speech at the Arab American Institute’s Kahlil Gibran Gala on Wednesday.

Rice’s stark assessment of the current situation in Yemen is the latest indication that the administration is quietly backing away from touting the fight against terrorists in Yemen as a success story.

Hmmm. Is susie scheduled to make the Sunday talk show rounds? Maybe she'll bring spokesmodel marie harf-wit along for further explanation. Maybe they should encourage the militants like B'more's mayor by saying they should have some space to tear things up and do a little looting since it's JUST property. I really don't like these people.

If there’s no military solution, is she saying we should “invest” in those areas to bring about peace and order?

I think she means that we need to provide them with jobs and that should solve the problem.

Funny how the Houthis are all about the “military solution”.

Rice will only call for a “military solution” when a weapon wielded by an Islamic terrorist is actually in her face.

Is it still a huge success like Brak Ubama stated, Ms Rice?

There is no military solution anywhere for a militarily inept administration.

But I thought Yemen was Obunghole’s big success story (?)

You mean maybe a teachable moment and some job fairs just for good measure? That should be all it takes to bring calm to the region.

There was no military solution to Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan either, right?

No military solution to anything with an enemy islamist as CIC.

Except to turn it on us.

Interesting (/snix) ) that Josh Earnest forcefully told the media that Obama “didn’t sign off on this” (the drone attack that killed two---one an America hostage).

There was a lot of talk by Earnest about O’s “National Security Team” assessing the “protocols” of a drone attack.

Was that a signal?

Could it be that the Ntl Security imbecile who screwed-up the protocols that killed an American doctor...who signed off on the drone attack..... will be getting the boot?

And I do mean moron Suzan Rice.

Rice better hurry---Marie Harf is going after the only available job these two are qualified for: cleaning toilets at the Grehound bus station.

“Funny how the Houthis are all about the ‘military solution.’”

It’s ironic that in fact there will be a military solution in Yemen. Does she think there will be a free and open election where citizens will choose between the “al Qaeda Party” and the “Houthis Party?”

Of course there will be a military solution in Yemen, and it will be the one chosen by the Obama Administration.

Maybe all they need are midnight basketball and free school lunches.
