US embassies not evacuated because 'we're not going to cut and run every time somebody threatens us'

[left-of-center2012]

National security adviser Robert O’Brien said Sunday that U.S. embassies were not alerted or evacuated due to the “imminent threat” of an attack because “we’re not going to cut and run every time somebody threatens us.”

ABC "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos pressed O'Brien about the intelligence purportedly showing an imminent threat to Americans and asked why the administration didn't evacuate U.S. embassies in the region.

“I can tell you with respect to other embassies in the region, we’ve taken very reasonable security precautions there, and it’s something we monitor all the time,” O'Brien said.

The adviser added he would like to release the intelligence that justified the killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani but added it wouldn’t be best in the long-term.

2. So if an imminent threat against the WH or DC was realized

Trump would stay in the White House and not run off to one of his resorts?

4. This guy is an incompetent clown

He was the architect of the ill-conceived "meeting" of the parents of Harry Dunn with the person who ran him down - in front of cameras at the WH.

5. So the Hill is

becoming nothing more than a Rethug Media Propaganda site.

Once a story of Embassy Personnel bailing out,becomes know. Pompeo and Company will be gone in a Milli Second.

This O'Brien Guy sounds like one sick person.
