U.S. Gov’t to Americans Trapped in Yemen: Call India
Washington Free Beacon | 4-7-2015 | Aaron Macleon
The State Department is telling U.S. citizens fleeing the fighting in Yemen to contact the government of India or an international NGO dedicated to migrant rights for help, according to the website for the abandoned U.S. embassy in Sanaa and statements by Indian government officials. The Chinese Navy last week evacuated hundreds of people from the war-torn country. Russia, Canada, and France are also reported to have recently conducted evacuations of their own. The website of the U.S. diplomatic mission in Yemen posted two messages on Monday laying out options for American citizens looking to flee the country.

That phrase… “a shortage of US Navy ships” does not compute.
Not for OUR nation!
How can you have a shortage of ships went you don’t plan on sending the troops anywhere anyway?
