As I understand the President's new AUMS proposal, this would be covered....

"UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon warned Thursday that Yemen was falling apart and called for action to avert chaos, as Al-Qaeda fighters overran an army camp and seized heavy weaponry.

The UN chief was reporting to the 15-member council after talks with Gulf officials that he said concentrated on "preventing civil war in Yemen".

"Let me be clear: Yemen is collapsing before our eyes. We cannot stand by and watch," Ban told the council.

Long on the front line of the war against Al-Qaeda, Yemen has descended into chaos since Shiite militiamen, known as Huthis, seized Sanaa in September and ousted the government last week.

The United States, Britain and France have rushed to close their embassies over security fears, with US staff destroying top-secret documents and sensitive equipment before pulling out Wednesday."

UN warns Yemen 'collapsing' as Qaeda seizes army camp

AS I understand it, the new AUMF continues some part of the old 2003 AUMF which would allow this. So Yemen joins the list !!!!!

Another Somalia.

No strategic national interest.

Cut and run.

Let France clean up the mess…er, I mean try and fail, and….ultimately surrender.

This, YEMEN, was held up by our President as a model and THAT my friends is scary.

The world is not a peaceful place...

"RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Yemen's Gulf Arab neighbors warned on Sunday that if the world fails to act against the Shiite rebels who have toppled the Yemeni government, the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council will take whatever actions it deems necessary to maintain regional security and stability."

Talk about a guy being in over his head ...

A few months ago, he touts Yemen as a model of his success. A few days ago, US Marines are leaving their weapons behind as we evacuate our Embassy.

Now please speak the truth ... are ANY of you Obama supporters out there upset or concerned about the Yemen debacle? Do you understand the implications it has for US domestic security?

There is hate going on in the world that we seem loathe to even condemn...

"SANAA (Reuters) - A few worried families are all that remain of Yemen's ancient Jewish community, and they too may soon flee after a Shi'ite Muslim militia seized power in the strife-torn country this month.
Harassment by the Houthi movement - whose motto is "Death to America, death to Israel, curse the Jews, victory to Islam" - caused Jews in recent years to largely quit the northern highlands they shared with Yemen's Shi'ites for millennia."

"The European Jewish Association has called for increased protection of Jewish institutions across Europe in the wake of the shooting in Copenhagen that left two people dead, one of them Jewish.

Rabbi Menachem Margolin, the association’s general director, said EU leaders had not done enough to combat antisemitic attacks and prejudices in the lead-up to the attacks on Saturday – one on a free speech debate and one on a synagogue – and pointed to a need to “secure all Jewish institutions 24/7”."

"TEL AVIV — Mistrust between the Obama administration and Benjamin Netanyahu has widened even further in recent days because of U.S. suspicion that the Israeli prime minister has authorized leaks of details about the U.S. nuclear talks with Iran.

"The decision to reduce the exchange of sensitive information about the Iran talks was prompted by concerns that Netanyahu’s office had given Israeli journalists sensitive details of the U.S. position, including a U.S. offer to allow Iran to enrich uranium with 6,500 or more centrifuges as part of a final deal."

and more hate...

"Sarre-Union (France) (AFP) - France's interior minister said Sunday several hundred tombs had been defaced at a Jewish cemetery in the northeast of the country, in what he called "a despicable act".

"The country will not tolerate this new injury which goes against the values that all French people share," said Bernard Cazeneuve of the incident in the town of Sarre-Union in the Alsace region."

Yes it's "hate" but it's really nothing more than Radical Islam slowly expanding it's footprint.

Now, of course, this has nothing whatsoever to do with the core nature of Islam, and zero connection to Muslims in general. Let's be sure to never forget that. In fact, it's just a bunch of random extremists acting in random ways against random targets using random timing and randomly chosen weapons, coupled with random techniques such as beheadings, burning people in cages and the like. Nothing to be worried about here ... coexist.

I am not Jewish, but am really concerned about the unfettered and public hatred for Jews and it appears to be veering toward Israel.

Israel is one country that I thought would receive our backing and that of the world, but obviously not the case. So many have called for the total destruction of the Jewish state....how long is now the only question ?
