Another of Jimmy Carter’s greatest hits being replayed by Biden

| November 11, 2021

Houthi Rebels, Yemen

Another Democrat president, another Middle East US Embassy, another group of fundamentalist Muslims, and another group of embassy staff taken hostage. Biden told the world “America is back.” I didn’t really think he meant “back in time”, yet here we are with record inflation, soaring gas prices, and now an embassy under siege. It’s the 1970s all over again, but without the Bee Gees, Travolta, or the Village People.

As we look at this, remember that the Houthi rebels who are perpetrating acts of terrorism in Yemen and on neighboring countries (all supported and supplied by Iran, who were fed with pallets of cash by the O’Biden-Bama Administration) were designated a terrorist organization by Trump. The left and the media (I repeat myself) howled and demanded Biden remove them from the terrorist list. Always dutiful to his handlers, Biden did just that early on in “his” administration.

Poetrooper sends in the breaking news from PJ Media (and confirmed with other sources);

…On Thursday, the Yemeni media outlet Al-Masdar Online reported that Houthi jihadis in Yemen, which are backed by the Islamic Republic of Iran, stormed our embassy in Sana’a, seizing “large quantities of equipment and materials.” Just days before that, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), they “kidnapped three Yemeni nationals affiliated with the U.S. Embassy.”

A State Department spokesman confirmed the Yemeni report, saying: “The United States has been unceasing in its diplomatic efforts to secure their release. The majority of the detained have been released, but the Houthis continue to detain additional Yemeni employees of the embassy.” They are being “detained without explanation and we call for their immediate release.” The U.S., the spokesman continued, is “concerned about the breach of the compound” and is calling “on the Houthis to immediately vacate it and return all seized property.”

Yeah, I’ll bet the Houthis are shaking with fear now. Because Biden’s handlers are really going all out on this one: deploying the Navy? Sending in the Marines? Immediately imposing crippling sanctions? Come on, man! The Biden team, said the State wonk, “will continue its diplomatic efforts to secure the release of our staff and the vacating of our compound, including through our international partners.” That’ll show ‘em.

Contrast that weak and uninspired response with what is going on among the Houthis themselves. Last June, according to MEMRI, the Houthis’ Al-Eman TV featured an Islamic scholar, Dr. Ahmad Al-Shami, telling a room full of children that “the scam of 9/11 was a theatrical show produced by the Jews and the Americans. They killed a group of their own people so that they could have a pretext.… All of this is done under the pretext of fighting terrorism, which ‘emerged from your midst of Muslims and Arabs.’” Al-Shami declared: “When we say ‘Death to America,’ it means life for all the nations that America is killing. When we say ‘Death to Israel,’ it means life for all the people, around the world, in whose killing and corruption Israel is taking part.”

The students then began chanting “Allahu akbar! Death to America! Death to Israel! Curse be upon the Jews! Victory to Islam!”

Charming. Yet when Donald Trump had the Houthis designated as foreign terrorists, the Leftist political and media establishment was (as always regarding anything and everything Trump did) outraged. No fewer than twenty-two aid groups that were operating in Yemen demanded that the designation be revoked “immediately,” and when his handlers gained control of the presidency, Old Joe Biden did just that. Trump was right again. If any group deserves to be considered foreign terrorists, it’s the Houthis.

Nevertheless, in September the Biden administration quietly removed an advanced missile defense system from Saudi Arabia, despite the fact that the Saudis are suffering ongoing air attacks from the Houthis in Yemen.

We have an embassy in Yemen, why?

Poetrooper

So the State Department has a suitable place to post the rare conservative who manages to slip through the multilayered liberal hiring filters at a time when the embassy in Chad happens to be fully staffed…

Islam…The Religion of Pieces…The ONLY “Religion” in the world that says convert or die. Well in modern history anyhow. There was that whole Spanish Inquisition thing back yonder and how did that work out for the instigators?

Maybe we should do as we are being accused of doing and teaching our children to hate and kill all mooslems? You know, kill them before they kill us.

Odd that we have elected officials in our grubermint that are from the very countries and religions that want to destroy us. Hmmmmm…
