Krauthammer: Obama Administration Has 'A Huge Problem Of Credibility'
2015-04-17
[Daily Caller] KRAUTHAMMER: The administration is quickly developing a huge problem of credibility. When the vice president says that, and within seven days ISIS is at the gates of Ramadi, it has it surrounded, as you said, the civilians are fleeing, they are also attacking Baiji, which is a very strategic point because it is a producer of oil; you've got to ask yourself, what exactly is the vice president talking about?

On the other hand you've heard that we are succeeding or at least we're holding the line somewhat in Yemen, and remember Obama had said al Qaeda is decimated, it's on the run, we heard that for years. Well, al Qaeda today captured a major port, airport, seaport and oil terminal in Yemen. It is now stronger than it probably has ever been and it is intent on attacking the United States.

And our third adversary in the region, you've got ISIL, you have got of course al Qaeda and there's Iran. Iran is on the march, Iran is on the move and that's why the Saudis are complaining about the deals that we're making with Iran while ignoring their aggression on the ground all around them.

Thus of course the US cannot evacuate its own Citizens-Nationals from Yemen, + has to rely instead on its various Allies to save same.

First Pakistan + India, now IRAN, TO SAVE US CITIZENS-NATIONLA IN YEMEN???

#3  Uh, I think I need to take today's Captain Obvious award from Al-Thinni and give it to Charles.

I wouldn't trust the current administration on anything. PERIOD.

When was the last time anything he or his cronies have said anything that was not a lie?
