Nobody could have possibly foreseen that yet another US foreign diplomacy “success story” would turn out to be an epic disaster. Well, nobody, except for those who accurately predict that every US intervention abroad is now a staggering fiasco (for everyone involved except the US military-industrial complex of course). As for Yemen, the outcome was clear long ago:
- Yemen’s US-Backed Government & President Resign
- Obama’s “Partners” In Yemen Overthrown As Presidential Palace Falls To Local Militiamen
- Deserted US Embassy In Yemen Immediately Seized By Armed Rebels
- The Coup Is Complete: US Embassy In Yemen Shutting Down, Ambassador To Leave By Wednesday
And, naturally, after noting that “the employees said that more than 20 vehicles were taken by the fighters after the Americans departed from Sanaa’s airport” we asked how long until we have a “tabulation of losses to US taxpayers, just like the great Islamic State ‘robbery’ of hundreds of millions in US military equipment in Iraq?” That, of course, was another epic US intervention success story.
Anyway, thanks to WaPo we have an answer: according to Jeff Bezos’ recent media acquisition, “the Pentagon is unable to account for more than $500 million in U.S. military aid given to Yemen.”

If Obama was acting alone to destroy our country, don’t you think that someone in the government and military would be stopping him?

i believe they weren’t missing obongo transferred the weapons to them unofficially by turning his head, just another benghazi criminal act. whom ever obongo has on the inside of our military performing his criminal activity should be hanged.
“Lost” implies that the even was an accident. But this was not a “loss” at all, it was a ‘strategic withdrawal’.
Generally, when closing an embassy or consulate, *everything* which cannot be taken is destroyed… even items of no military or political value. Ask any Marine who has done Embassy Duty -- there’s an entire book on the required disposition for every item belonging to the political mission. Even the toilet paper has a proper disposition under hasty withdrawal conditions. NO, I’m not even kidding.
That Obongo’s State Department “failed” even in this simple duty is plain proof that the “loss” was deliberate. Horse-face is plainly good at following dear Leader’s orders… which makes him a very useful idiot, indeed.
Lt, One just need to have a little common sense to see what the Obongo’s criminal administration is doing for his muslim brotherhood pals, remember he is a card carrying member of this anti white, anti christian murderers. Obongo needs to be hanged for treason and high crimes against the state. Hey lt. do you live in North Carolina near the black mountain area, just curious.
