CNN: Pentagon in position to evacuate U.S. Embassy in Yemen

Update: US Senator Dianne Feinstein .... the Democratic vice-chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence .... is now demanding the immediate evacuation of the U.S. embassy .... Feinstein: Evacuate Yemen Embassy Now (Josh Rogin, Bloomberg).

WNU Editor: Shiite radical rebels backed by Iran have violently taken control of the capital city .... it does not take a security specialists to know that the U.S. embassy is probably under threat right now. But here is an easy prediction .... with President Obama's State of the Union Address only a few hours away .... there is going to be no evacuation of the embassy. The optics of a President giving such a speech while U.S. helicopters are landing on the US embassy grounds to evacuate U.S. personnel will be .... to put it bluntly .... a signature moment of his Presidency that he will never be able to shake.
