A Tabulation Of What The U.S. Lost When They Admitted That $500 Million In Weapons Given To Yemen Had Disappeared

Zero Hedge: US "Loses" $500 Million In Weapons Given To Yemen, Now In Al-Qaeda Hands

Nobody could have possibly foreseen that yet another US foreign diplomacy "success story" would turn out to be an epic disaster. Well, nobody, except for those who accurately predict that every US intervention abroad is now a staggering fiasco (for everyone involved except the US military-industrial complex of course). As for Yemen, the outcome was clear long ago:

• Yemen's US-Backed Government & President Resign
• Obama's "Partners" In Yemen Overthrown As Presidential Palace Falls To Local Militiamen
• Deserted US Embassy In Yemen Immediately Seized By Armed Rebels
• The Coup Is Complete: US Embassy In Yemen Shutting Down, Ambassador To Leave By Wednesday

And, naturally, after noting that "the employees said that more than 20 vehicles were taken by the fighters after the Americans departed from Sanaa's airport" we asked how long until we have a "tabulation of losses to US taxpayers, just like the great Islamic State 'robbery' of hundreds of millions in US military equipment in Iraq?" That, of course, was another epic US intervention success story.
Anyway, thanks to WaPo we have an answer: according to Jeff Bezos' recent media acquisition, "the Pentagon is unable to account for more than $500 million in U.S. military aid given to Yemen."
