Sept. 2014: Obama Said Yemen Was a Success, Today He Says, HE KNEW IT WAS GOING TO FALL


September 2014.

Today, in the Washington Examiner:
President Obama was “not surprised” the Yemeni government fell into the hands of rebels backed by Iran, White House chief of staff Denis McDonough said Sunday. 
The senior Obama aide said the president has had concerns about the Middle Eastern country since the early days of his administration. 
“Governance in Yemen has always been difficult,” McDonough said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” 
McDonough touted counterterrorism efforts in Yemen that he said were designed to keep Arabian Peninsula terrorists “off-kilter.” 
“But the government fell,” host Bob Schieffer said. 
“I mean, the strategy obviously didn’t work.” 
The president’s chief of staff continued to defend the policies that led to the overthrow of the U.S.-backed Yemeni government this week. 
“We were not surprised that this government collapsed,” McDonough said. “We knew this was an ongoing challenge over the course of the last several months.”

  1. Consider the possibility that Obama is/was not lying. Rather, he considered the fall of the Yemeni government to Shia control an inevitable success. With Iranian born Jarrett pulling his strings, and every bit of this administration's involvement in the Muslim world reveals a reality that cannot be explained under the rubrik of Constitutionally sanctioned American interests. Obama may be seated in the oval office, but his loyalties clearly lie elsewhere.

  2. His interests have nothing to do with US interests.
