Sort of like them being about a YouTube video. In this case the stupidity starts at.the top.

Oops, that's the election 2016 -- I'm getting a bit anxious for it to hurry up -- anyone will be better than this president in 2017.

I've lived in border states much of my life (NM, CA) or states hugely impacted by illegal immigration such as CO.

Unfortunately, many of these Muslim majority societies are not ready for democracy. Just ask Embassy Marines who have done security duty in Yemen and in Denmark. Denmark is a beautiful example of western civilization, Yemen is the total opposite, (just look at the way they treat each other, their own people)

It is about time that we take our troops home.

The USA sat and yawned when the Green Revolution in Iran took tot he streets - 1,000's were murdered. You sound like the slaughter going on all over the Mid-East is a wonderful thing - instead of the carnage it is.

The USA is still trying to pretend that their good buddy al-Assad, the Butcher of Damascus has not murdered almost a quarter of a MILLION Syrian is the last 3 years. That's not a matter of "not ready for Democracy" ..... that is slaughter by Dictators desperate to hold onto power. Elites in the USA look down their noses at this suffering and cynically say --- "they are just not ready".

Yemen was a brilliant example of President Stompy-Foot's "Smart Power", so was Libya & Somalia.
These are Nations he bragged about ..... right up until they sunk into total chaos and imploded.

We didn't have troops in Syria, Libya, Yemen, Iraq or Somalia ..... we sent in Special Forces which are counted in Leftist Land, as "No-Boots". You think it's bad now .... just wait. Kerry & TeamObama keep making noises about an "alliance" that is only a sorta-alliance , with the Iranian Quds Force, Hezbollah & the Butcher of Syria ...... the rest of the Mid-East is not going to stand for that and the citizens of the USA should have MAJOR problems with an Alliance by our Government with Terrorists. That's exactly what they are - no way to White-Wash it.

It's not mystery that TeamObama is so against the Nation of Israel and their Prime Minister - he is forming alliances with those that want to destroy Israel and have killed many 1,000's of Americans.
It's also no mystery why TeamObama is so against the President of Egypt who is cleaning the murderous Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas out of their country.

We have a real pattern here folks ........ it's easy to read.

This is a very strange thread - it appears that nobody is really aware that the US Embassy was closed a couple of weeks ago and that the "troops" that just left were Special Forces that have been providing important INTEL on the Base of Operations in Yemen that is the Bomb Making Capitol of the World.

U.S. evacuating remaining 100 special forces troops from Yemen| Al-Arabiya 3/21/15

A US General said yesterday that "Yemen has gone Dark" ...... we no longer have any capability of INTEL out of this area. The Undie Bomber came from Yemen, the Paris Terrorists trained in Yemen and still the CIA had no clue this was happening ... now we have ZERO chance of watching these folks.

Add to that ...... it's the Iranians that are behind the Shiite Houthi takeover of Yemen.

Iranian ship unloads 185 tons of weapons for Houthis at Saleef port |Al-Arabiya 3/10/15m
Just a reminder ..... this would be the same Iran that we are in a "negotiation" with over their Nuclear Bomb ambitions. They are funding and arming a Shiite group on the Southern Border with Saudi Arabia and are taking over the Country.

Iranians, Houthis, al-Qaeda, ISIS ..... all battling over a small country of the Border with Saudi Arabia.
The USA cuts and runs after we aided in starting this mess and our Fearless Leader stood before the US Nation and the World and called Yemen an example of his "Smart Power".
