#1 How in the hell do you lose $500M worth of military aid and equipment?

Remaining 100 spec ops counter-terrorism forces have been evacuated. Our embassy has closed. We have no presence there. Thought just a few months ago, O said Yemen was a shining example of how to do it.

Iran has recently been removed from the U.S. annual terrorism list. Has Yemen being given to Iran as a part of O's backdoor nuke deal?

#3 Well, if it's any consolation, $500,000,000 today is only about $31,449,640 in 1941-CPI bucks.
