This past week I compared Barack Obama and his ‘strategic patience’ policy to that of Neville Chamberlain in 1938.

I’m not so sure anymore.

I think Obama’s policy is far, far more nefarious than that of the hapless British Prime Minister.

On Tuesday, the United States decided to close its embassy in Yemen due to the takeover of that country by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. This is the third embassy the US has had to close since the Arab Spring, the first two being embassies in Libya (Benghazi) and Syria.

It gets worse. There’s the scandal surrounding the directives given to the embassy Marines by the State Department prior to evacuation.

While earlier reports claimed that the Marines were required to surrender their weapons prior to the evacuation from Yemen, the Corps has clarified the incident. The Marine Corps reports that crew served weapons were destroyed at the embassy, and personal weapons “rendered inoperable” at the airport. While this appears more palatable than the earlier report of Marines surrendering weapons to the Houthis, CENTCOM is still outraged at the destruction of personal weapons.

So who at State ordered this? How far up did this go, and why?

Now Fox News’s Jennifer Griffin has found out even more unsettling information about Iran, the nation that Obama so wants to court for a nuclear weapons treaty.
