Via Bloomberg:
The U.S. government should immediately close and evacuate the U.S. Embassy in Sana’a, Yemen, according to Senator Dianne Feinstein, the Democratic vice-chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
I asked her today whether the embassy, which remains open despite raging violence throughout the Yemeni capital, should be closed. She responded: “Based on what I know so far, yes.”
“I’m very concerned about our embassy there, who is still there, who isn’t still there, and what the plans are,” Feinstein added.
Feinstein is the Chair of Senate intel committee and she is saying, “get out”. Why are we then waiting? Is Obama more concerned about the optics of an evacuation during the SOTU from Yemen, one of his ‘success stories’?
@mitchellreports Nothing to see here folks…US foreign policy is fine, just fine. Just send over John Kerry with Paul Simon or something..
