I wouldn’t want to take on 320 dug in Marines. That said....

Obama told us everything was fine in Iraq. Obama told us everything was fine in Yemen.

What the hell is it going to take before the American Press quits covering for this dipstick? Let’s load the American Press on planes and take them to Iraq and give them each a stick and tell them to get after it. Dumbasses.

Ah yes Yemen. Here is the latest on that glorious chapter in our national history.:

UPDATE, 9:57p ET: The Marine Corps has clarified what Marines did under State Department orders in Yemen following the evacuation of the U.S. embassy.

Crew served weapons were destroyed at the embassy, while Marines’ personal weapons were “rendered inoperable” at the airport, and their destroyed components were left behind.

The Marine Corps does not dispute the reporting that CENTCOM is outraged over weapons being rendered inoperable.

Read the full statement below:

The Marine Security Force left the American embassy in Yemen for the movement to the airfield as part of the “ordered departure” with only personal weapons. All crew served weapons were destroyed at the embassy prior to movement. None of them were ‘handed over’ in any way to anyone. The destruction of weapons at the embassy and the airport was carried out in accordance with an approved destruction plan.

Upon arrival at the airfield, all personal weapons were rendered inoperable in accordance with advance planning. Specifically, each bolt was removed from its weapons body and rendered inoperable by smashing with sledgehammers. The weapons bodies, minus the bolts, were then separately smashed with sledgehammers. All of these destroyed components were left at the airport — and components were scattered; no usable weapon was taken from any Marine at Sana’a airport.

To be clear: No Marine handed a weapon to a Houthi, or had one taken from him.

The question is ; Why were and who ordered the USMC Security Unit to destroy their rifles and sidearms? For what reason?

He is the creation of the American press, and is its Frankenstein monster.
