I guess folks in Middle East didn't buy into O's SOTU address or even watch it

I guess the folks in the Middle East didn't see the SOTU



The government in Yemen is pretty much gone, with the President and cabinet resigning, and Shiite rebels backed by Iran taking over the capitol.

I would really hate to be Josh Earnest right now, and it's amusing to see how the White House shifts the media to the State Department when these things happen.

Oh, the Pentagon won't be releasing any more Gitmo prisoners to Yemen.

What a joke this administration is.

SPETEMBER 2014:
“But I want the American people to understand how this effort will be different from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil. This counter-terrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out ISIL wherever they exist using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground. This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years.”
