Walk Softly…

After capturing the capital the rebels are now hurtling toward Aden.
The President’s fled. No one knows where he is. Or if he’s in the country.
And the rebels have put a $100,000 bounty on his head.
Our Embassy’s been shuttered. Our troops have been evacuated.
Saudi Arabia’s making airstrikes but it looks like it’s too late.
Last fall, President Obama hailed Yemen as a prime example of his success in the battle to stop terrorists like ISIS.
Now, in Yemen, the terrorists have all but won.
In Washington, the best President’s press spokesman can do is say, ‘We call on them to stop the instability and violence.’
And we’re a pretty long way from the days when Presidents ‘walked softly and carried a big stick.’
