Losing Yemen
by Richard Fernandez[PJMedia] The last US special forces have been withdrawn from Yemen without exciting much notice from the US press. Max Boot [1] tweets: "All US SOF evacuating Yemen. Huge win for AQAP, huge defeat for US. How many foreign policy disasters can we handle?" Reuters [2] reports, "the United States has evacuated its remaining personnel, including about 100 special operations forces, from Yemen because of the deteriorating security situation there, U.S. officials said on Saturday." This means that the last vestiges of what the Obama administration only recently touted as their model counter-insurgency operation are gone. The collapse has flown largely under the media radar.
