Obama touts Yemen as success story…4 months later government overrun by terrorists
Right Scoop ^ | 1-20-2015 | Right Scoop

Just for a little background watch this from the end of September: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTHKGXpKQvA

Fast forward to today:

"CNN – Yemen’s presidential palace has been completely taken over by Shiite Houthi rebels, the country’s Minister of Information Nadia Sakkaf told CNN on Tuesday amid reports of renewed clashes.

Sakkaf said the Prime Minister’s residence was also under attack from the street.

She called the situation “the completion of a coup,” adding that “the President has no control.”"

What a success story! Obama really knows how to pick’em.

The US will barely survive Obama.

I disagree.

When dealing with Islam, success is fleeting at best, and nonexistent as a norm. The entire history of Islam’s destruction of civilization serves as an example of what we should expect from Islam now and in the future.

Think the people of Yemen will be cheered up with a visit by the Lurch and Jimmy Show. Don’t think the folks there would be overjoyed hearing “You’ve Got a Friend” anytime soon.

On-the-job training is no way to run a presidency

I firmly believe he DOES think of it as a success- and when he gives speeches he thinks he is talking to the world (specifically his muzzie buddies)

If Syria was overthrown and taken of by the MB he would also think of that as a success, and I bet he sees Egypt as a failure

Well my son was just called up and he is a Marine.

So much for not sending troops in.

Thank God the Marines don’t need this pos president cause he’s for the other team.
If anyone wants to deny it go ahead it’s your breath your wasting.

Exactly. And his government is a success by his measure because it, also, is overrun by terrorists.

What happened in Yemen is that his rich Islamist friends are being kicked out by his poor Islamist friends. Either way James Taylor can sing to both.
