U.S. cruise missile strike targets al-Qaeda in Yemen

Obama turns his attention to the jihadist "bus station" that is Yemen. "Obama Ordered U.S. Military Strike on Yemen Terrorists," by Brian Ross, Richard Esposito, Matthew Cole, Luis Martinez, and Kirit Radia for ABC News, December 18:

On orders from President Barack Obama, the U.S. military launched cruise missiles early Thursday against two suspected al-Qaeda sites in Yemen, administration officials told ABC News in a report broadcast on ABC World News with Charles Gibson.
One of the targeted sites was a suspected al Qaeda training camp north of the capitol, Sanaa, and the second target was a location where officials said "an imminent attack against a U.S. asset was being planned."
The Yemen attacks by the U.S. military represent a major escalation of the Obama administration's campaign against al Qaeda. [...]
President Obama placed a call after the strikes to "congratulate" the President of Yemen, Ali Abdallah Salih, on his efforts against al Qaeda, according to White House officials. [...]
Along with the two U.S. cruise missile attacks, Yemen security forces carried out raids in three separate locations. As many as 120 people were killed in the three raids, according to reports from Yemen, and opposition leaders said many of the dead were innocent civilians.
American officials said the missile strikes were intended to disrupt a growing threat from the al Qaeda branch in Yemen, which claims to coordinate terror attacks against neighboring Saudi Arabia....

American officials said the missile strikes were intended to disrupt a growing threat from the al Qaeda branch in Yemen, which claims to coordinate terror attacks against neighboring Saudi Arabia....

Well,he did bow to the King...

At what point do Obama's owners ask why he's attacking his own brethren ?

Should they and do they ask calmly ?

How do they ask him..... via the Crackberry text system right away, or do they wait until Wednesday night's shindig for 'the special people' and send in another set of "gate crashers" ?

There's much more than that to consider, which will create many more questions to ask. But those three questions above should suffice for now.

Islam is an inherently violent and unjust religion with mostly backward adherents who's countries are in shambles due largely to the self defeating reality of the religion itself. I am an ex-Muslim strongly opposed to Islam. I posted a rather detailed comment in the previous articles comment section.

As I posted a couple of days ago on the "U.S. jets attack Yemen" thread: "King Abdullah has but to command, and his loyal servant Barak will obey." Probably the Saudi jets weren't doing enough damage to the Yemeni rebels, so the king told his boy Barak to help out.

"targets al-Qaeda in Yemen"

Oh, man.

Barack betrays his loyalty ... to himself, ideally.
The profile is noble enough, and beautiful enough, *smoooch*;
but the skin and general level of life in apparently lifelike organs is similar to the various dead people dug up by Boris Karloff in his entire career in movies!

Protecting the Saudis. Protecting implacable fascist enemies who have built and are funding 1,200 mosques (forts behind enemy lines) on our own soil. Protecting the enablers and financiers of 9/11. Protecting the international criminals who have bought Washington and our universities.

=== " U.S. military launched cruise missiles early Thursday against two suspected al-Qaeda sites in Yemen " ===

This is a big No-No!

And I thought,a suspect is considered as 'Not Guilty' until proven otherwise!...

And what if these sites will turn out to be ' Innocent Hospitals' nourishing "Little Brown Babies"?... Huh?!

What happed Mr. Obama? Nervous trigger finger?...

Not mentioned in the article ... did our missiles actually get any bad guys? Or is this another aspirin-factory attack?

Well, at least the Dhimmicrats are not calling Obama a warmonger like they called Bush, whenever he sought to stop terrorists in their tracks...bwahahahaha...

a cruise missile here
a cruise missile there
first think you know, all the rockets will flare
and
nukes will light up the air....

-------

obie promised to level the economic playing field....

how better to do this than with nuclear war where everyone that survives is poor... and there will be no more fat people.... or heart patients or diabetic patients or any patients at all....

Merry Christmas....

Finallu some good news. Maybe Obama is starting to wake up. Please keep those missiles flying.

No, the intended target Qasim al Reimi slipped away at the last minute before the Arhab raid, north of Sana'a. Shocka! In the other air strike, 18 children were killed in the southern province of Abyan.
