If Yemen is a success, what on God’s Green Earth is a failure?

President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, with whom we allied, has fled Yemen (Washington Examiner). We have fled Yemen, departing so fast we left over $500 million in weaponry for allies of al Qaeda, Iran, or both to use (Weekly Standard). Saudi Arabia has troops on the border, potentially triggering a regional war (Corner).

Yet to White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest, Yemen is a success (Corner again)!

The White House does continue to believe that a successful counter-terrorism strategy is one that will build up the capacity of the central government to have local fighters on the ground to take the fight to extremists in their own country,” Earnest said, emphasizing the importance of supporting local security forces. “That is a template that has succeeded in mitigating the threat that we face from extremists in place like Yemen and Somalia,” he added. “That’s astounding to hear,” Karl said. “You still see Yemen as a model? Building up a central government — a central government that has now collapsed? A president who has apparently fled the country? Saudi troops amassing on one border? The Iranians supporting the rebels? You consider this a model?”

Earnest promptly did his best to dial back from his own words, but he still claimed the existence of “a sustained counter-terrorism/security infrastructure that remains in Yemen” – which might come as a surprise to the Yemenis…and the Saudis, for that matter.

The Administration’s bizarre attempt to claim the disintegrating Yemen as a “success” makes one wonder just how bad a situation has to be before the White House is willing to admit failure.
