Full Report:
In a fiery appearance on War Room, Blackwater founder Erik Prince sounded the alarm on a dangerous move by the Biden administration to release Houthi terrorists, placing American and allies' security at risk. Prince revealed that U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is "clear[ing] out Guantanamo [Bay]" by releasing hardened criminals back into "general circulation," enabling them to inflict further harm on the United States and its partners.
Prince described the move, "It's almost like another symbol of servitude to Iran and the weakness. Whether its Sunni radicals or Shia radicals, the Biden administration definitely wants to prostrate itself before them."
The Houthis, an Iran-backed militant group operating in Yemen, have been known to carry out violent attacks in the region, targeting U.S. allies such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Their arsenal of advanced missile systems, supplied and funded by Iran, has already forced the U.S. Navy to spend over $1 billion to intercept and neutralize these threats. Prince’s revelation comes amid growing concerns about the Biden administration’s national security policies, particularly in handling terrorist detainees.
The release of Houthi detainees raises questions about the administration’s long-term strategy—or lack thereof—in dealing with ongoing threats in the Middle East. Critics argue that this move undermines decades of counterterrorism efforts, emboldens Iran’s proxy forces, and weakens U.S. credibility on the global stage.
The Houthis have already demonstrated their capability to strike with precision, targeting civilian and military infrastructure in the region. U.S. officials have confirmed the group’s increased use of ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as drones, many of which have been intercepted by U.S. forces at great expense.
Prince’s remarks echo broader frustrations from national security experts who view the Biden administration’s decisions as compromising U.S. security.
The revelation has sparked outrage among conservative commentators and lawmakers who demand accountability from the administration. Many are calling for an immediate halt to the release of terrorist detainees and a reassessment of U.S. policies concerning Guantanamo Bay.
Prince concluded his War Room interview with a stark warning: “We need to have a much greater clarity and surety of what happens to our enemies when they endeavor to destroy or kill Americans.
As the Biden administration faces mounting criticism over its foreign policy decisions, the release of dangerous terrorists like the Houthis may become a pivotal issue in the 2024 election, further dividing an already polarized nation.
