US Military Invades Yemen

pO157.

Posted to Etcetera on Fri Jan 29, 2010 at 10:01:25 PM EST (promoted by DEMachina). RSS.

The Washington Post is reporting that military operations in Yemen involve the covert use of American special operations forces serving as "advisers." These operators have been responsible for a variety of strikes against alleged terrorists in Yemen over the past several weeks.

The strikes, which have killed several high-value terrorist leaders over the past month, represent an escalation in the "War Against Terror" and signal the willingness of the Obama administration to fight outside the borders of Afghanistan and Iraq. The military is allegedly also targeting US citizens who are believed to be in Yemen working with al-Qaeda.

Go easy there, friend.  War is like eating potato chips.

Why does reduced fat Swiss cheese have twice as many holes are regular Swiss cheese?

5.00 (inconceivable)

Perhaps if our troops were home (or at least not getting involved in a land war in Asia on a different front every 5 minutes) it would be much difficult for these casualties to keep piling up.

Never compromise.

Just going out on a limb here, but between Afghanistan, Iraq and Yemen, the latter is the only country where we're legitimately helping an incumbent government.
