U.S. Not €˜Being Run Out of Town€™ Despite Abandoning Third Embassy in Middle East
2015-02-12
[FreeBeacon] "On Tuesday evening, the United States ordered the evacuation of all remaining staff at its embassy in Yemen. The evacuation comes on the heels of threats that the Yemeni rebels would kidnap foreigners.

State Department Spokeswoman Jen Ptui Psaki was asked whether the United States was “being run out of town.” Ptui Psaki denied that, and said that other countries have moved their staffs out of the country as well. This is the third embassy the United States has had to abandon in the Middle East since the start of the Arab Spring.

“What the United States leadership is reflected in the fact that we want to return. We want to be engaged. We want to play a role, if we can play a role,” Ptui Psaki said.
A strategic advance to the rear..so we can lead from behind..or something.

#12  FYI, over at MANILA TIMES + BIGNEWSNETWORK, it appears that SHTF for PH President Aquino + Top Party-Admin Underlings as the deadly Mamasapano incident seemingly devols into another "Benghazi".

There are rumors of PH Army elements getting ready to overthrow Aquino in a coup.

The harsh criticisms that Aquino is presently experiencing can easily occur agz Globalist Obama as the "Sole" Superpower USA unilaterally deliberately reduces its MilPol-Geopol presence + influence, etc. across the World so that OWG Co-Superpowers Iran, Russia, + China [Other?] can regionally rise in its place.

Personally, I'm more curious about MSM-Net Reports that the ISIS has taken over most of Al-Asad AirBase in Iraq, potentially putting up to 300 USMC Advisors at risk of being besieged, captured or killed. GOES AGAIN TO YEARS/LONG-AGO PERSONAL DREAMS OR VISIONS OF MINE.

"WILL FIGHT ISIS TO THE LAST BEAN-N-BULLET" JORDAN = PHILIPPINES = GUAM-WESTPAC = OWG GLOBALIST "RETREAT IS [World/Global]PEACE" AMERIKA MAY NOT HAVE YOUR BACK OR SIX AS LIKE TO BELIEVE.

* FYI AS PER DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS, USA = MAY BE FACING A MAJOR OR TOTAL SUPPLY = LOGISTICS SHUTDOWN.

OOOOOOPPPPPPPSSSSSIES.

ADVANTAGE = ISIS/ISIL, AL-QAEDA BOYZ, ANTI-US CO-SUPERPOWERS - NUCLEAR? ISLAM, JIHADIS.

Jordan = Israel, etc, should plan for contingency agz the ISIS, etc, iff they run out of military inventory + THE US-WEST CAN SUDDENLY NO LONGER RE-SUPPLY THEM.

#10  OTOH see DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > THE US SHOULD THINK -AND ACT - LIKE A SUPERPOWER - WASHINGTON POST.

In case the WAPO + others missed it, America = Amerika is not in the Age of OWG Globalism where the US is ultimately or ideally intended to just be one OWG Co-Superpower among many OWG Co-Superpowers, in the US image, economy, + capability.

BY THE ABOVE SCOPE, THE US THUSLY CANNOT THINK OR ACT, ETC. LIKE A [Sole?]SUPERPOWER ANYMORE BECAUSE IT MEANS OR INFERS THAT ITS GLOBALIST CO-SUPERPOWER SIBLINGS CANNOT OR WON'T RISE TO POWER-N-PARITY.

Again, GLOBALISM = ACROSS-THE-BOARD "PARITY" TO THE US, ASAP AMAP ALAP + INCLUDING NUKES,ETC.
N-O-T "INFERIORITY" TO THE US.

Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

It is why Anti-US US Globalist Obama AS POTUS will unilaterally allow IRAN + RUSSIA [Darth Vlad] + CHINA [Other?] expand their spheres of influence to the detriment of both the US + its historical Allies.

THE US-ALLIES = WORLD ORDER/BALANCE OF POWER INCLUD NUCLEAR BALANCE OF TERROR ARE INTENTIONALLY DELIBERATELY BEING PLACED AT EXISTENTIAL RISK.

PRAY HARD + HOPE THE BAMMER + GLOBIES, ETAL. DON'T MISCALCULATE.

Again, UNTIL SUCH TIME OWG-NWO IS FINALLY, PERMANENTLY, + IRREVOCABLY EMPLACED + ENTRENCHED, THINGYS ARE LIKELY GONNA GET WORSE BEFORE IT GETS BETTER.

#7  Brave obama ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave obama turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, obama!

#5  ValJar, I shudder to imagine what we are going to learn this wicked creature has convinced the Idiot to allow. Imagine an Iranian agent at the highest level of government working to affect policy to their advantage. How would it be different than what you see now?

#3  Iran appears to be the end-state beneficiary of all of these closures. Strange, very strange.

#2  Of course USA is not being run out of ME. US politicians will still be able to come to Israel---to lecture us on the need for comprehensive "Palestinian"-Israeli Peace Accord.
