Yemen warns of more attacks

[blu]

I wish America had a real President right about now.

Someone more or less akin to President George W. Bush.

Someone who might just order a military strike into an al qaeda compound or three (or more) deep in the heart of Yemen.

But, alas, we have no such man at the helm.

obama already did this multiple times. are you just trolling?

In Yemen Blu.

where is Al-Qaeda operating from now ?????

de centralized, but you have decent sized groups in many areas, and AQAP issues and growth has been discussed for many months now in open source inteligence circles & sites.

Obama Ordered U.S. Military Strike on Yemen Terrorists
Cruise Missiles Launched Thursday Hit Two Suspected al Qaeda Sites; Major Escalation of US Efforts Against Terrorists


By BRIAN ROSS, RICHARD ESPOSITO, MATTHEW COLE, LUIS MARTINEZ and KIRIT RADIA


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.


ABC's Brian Ross details missile strike on al-Qaeda militants in Afghanistan.
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.

No. Al Queda is not a conventional military force that is tied to any one nation state or strategic geographical position and thus can be fixed and destroyed through conventional military tactics.

Try again.

No shit Sherlock. But they did concentrate their primary efforts (money, personnel, material, etc.) in Iraq for a period of time and are now doing the same in Afghanistan and Pakistan in conjunction with the Taliban. By doing so it limits their strike potential in other areas of the world - DUH!

Bullshit. What they did was grow like a cancer in Iraq. They didn't "concentrate" anything. Again, this is not a conventional force with a "main effort" and "supporting effort".

Furthermore, most of the evidence is that AQ in Iraq had few if any ties to Bin Laden, especially when it was operational.

Taking out AQ in Iraq has had little, if any, effect on Al Queda.

If you buy into that whole line of bullshit: "Fight them there so we don't fight them here." then you clearly have missed the bus.

Wow, you sure did lie a ton there. Most of AL Queda in Iraq was made up of foreign fighters. Clearly that indicates moving assets into Iraq. Note, none of those people came to the US during that time, which also means your "Fight them there so we don't fight them here .", rant was trashed too.

Just listen to Richard Engel on why striking Yemen (or any other of the myriad AQ hotspots) would be foolish. His comments start at about 2 minutes in. (Then you can listen to Pat Buchanan ignore what he said and launch into a sub-subject.)

Morning Joe

THEY ARE DECENTRALIZED!!! there is no one group "al qaeda" and notice that when informed people talk about them they refer to them as "al qaeda in X" or "X al qaeda". asking where a disjoint group of people around the world operate is pretty stupid. would "earth" be a good answer for you?

The current AQ, world wide, has little to no ties with to Bin Laden other than as a "motivational speaker"and hasn't for quite a while. He has been effectively neutralized but AQ has moved on. Even though they are a relatively loose organization they still have logistics channels that are limited in their ability to finance everything they want to do and the "concentration of efforts" in specific areas 'limits" their ability overall. Again DUH.

how much collateral damage????

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.

believe i made this clear before.

 

[MaggieMae]

Why not just bar anyone from Yemen or who has visited Yemen from entering the US?

Simple really.

BTW this can be applied to any other country as well.

Because the US has diplomatic relations with Yemen, which is an ally. [Jeezus, why do I even try sometimes?]

What a pile of fresh steaming shit. Viet Nam head case, Pakshitstick, Willow, Dumbdog, cloggeddett and skullfucked pilot.

You people are funny!

It WOULD be funny except these morons actually believe what they're saying. I'm so reminded of the way "government" is run in the hilarious movie "Idiocracy."

look down. your tampon's leaking

 

[slackjawed]

We have security policies in place, and I would bet we are improving them as we speak, at least i hope so. They should work hundreds of times or more if we actually stick to them.
The guy that said there were hundreds of terrorists coming our way wants money for his country. We have to take that into consideration. Maybe he wants money to save his failing government so badly he is willing to engage in a little hyperbole to get it.
The hijacker himself said there were "many more' but didn't say hundreds. Hundreds will get you a bunch more money than "many more".
Personally, I see this as one of those decisions that make being president a tough job.
