According to the Obama administration THIS is a Middle East success story.
In September 2014, Obama bragged in his address to the nation that Yemen was a foreign policy success story.
On Tuesday, Houthi rebels took control of the Al Anad airbase in Yemen.
Just five days ago the base was home to 120 US special forces.
Today White House press secretary Josh Earnest told MSNBC the success of U.S. foreign policy in Yemen should not be assessed in relation to the success or the stability of the country’s government.
That’s just delusional.
Watch Josh Earnest defend Obama’s Yemen strategy, a so-called success story.
