Psaki: Third Embassy Evacuation In Middle East Doesn't Mean U.S. Is Being Run Out Of Town
2015-02-14

[REALCLEARPOLITICS] Following in the footsteps of their counterparts in Syria and Libya, western diplomats in Yemen fled from their posts ahead of a new revolutionary government, leaving behind supplies, weapons, vehicles and cash.
MATT LEE, ASSOCIATED PRESS: Jen, more broadly on Yemen, this is the third embassy that you guys have had to uncharitably, perhaps, say, abandon in an Arab Spring country since the first one, which was Syria. Is there a broader concern that you're being ‐ the U.S. is being run out of town in the Arab world?

JEN PSAKI, STATE DEPARTMENT: We certainly don't look at it in that way.

#7  One recalls the older Army tactical field manual - Infantry Company in Retrograde movements. Implication being that retreat is the wrong word choice because 'we shall return'. Perhaps but we will have to beg the Iranians for access since they are in charge.

#5  I will be so happy when the professional prevaricators leave; Rear Admiral John Kirby, Maria Harf, Josh Ernest, and Jen Psaki. Jeebus, they put Baghdad Bob to shame.

#4  Ms. Ptui's Psaki's job is to paint the incredible as credible. And she puts on a pretty good show for those who hear without listening.
