US airstrike kills senior al-Qaida leader in Yemen

[whitehall]

Drones are the ideal political weapon. No pilots at risk and with the CIA there is political deniability right down the line. A reasonable question is how much did the strike cost and what did the US give up to the corrupt Yemen regime to get permission to kill someone who was living in their country? Radical lefties seem pretty complaisant about giving the president permission to send CIA drones around the world to kill selected targets without due process.

Just more hypocrisy from the liberal left.

They go crazy about America still having the death penalty in some states.

But applaud drone strikes that sometimes wipes out whole families; innocent men, women, and children.

Thank you, President Obama.

Obama was not involved. - "The strike was authorized by the Yemeni government, which then made the announcement after the operation was complete."

The drone attack was carried out by the CIA, U.S. officials said. Last I heard, President Obama is in charge of the CIA.

NATO says a man dressed in an Afghan National Army uniform opened fire on coalition soldiers, leaving one dead.

The NATO statement says coalition forces returned fire killing the shooter Sunday in southern Afghanistan.

The shooting is the latest in a series of deadly attacks on international troops by gunmen wearing Afghan uniforms.

And 12 minutes ago, they promoted a new camel-****** to be 'senior' al-Qaida leader.

Maybe. But the promotion from camel service agent to local leader of al qaeda does not bode well for the gang over there.

Good job by our military once again!

And our Commander in Chief for keeping our military focused. Glad we have a president who didn't "stop thinking about the terrorists".

Fahd al-Quso, Al Qaeda*plotter linked to 2000 attack on destroyer Cole, killed*in Yemen* - NY Daily News

Quso’s association with Al Qaeda dated back more than a decade, when he met with Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan.

He was also one of the most senior Al Qaeda leaders linked to the failed Christmas 2009 airliner attack of “underwear” bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.

When Republicans can't block what the president does, al Qaeda dies.

They're mighty pissed off now!

When republicans can't block what obama does, terrorists go free.

It seems like a decent strategy. Kill a terrorist, let ten go free. That way obama can be as anti American as he wants to be and still gets to be a hero.

The Associated Press: US airstrike kills senior al-Qaida leader in Yemen

Thirteen minutes ago. Woot-wooT!!

Good, **** that guy.

 

[High_Gravity]

Why would Al-Qaeda be so quick to confirm it?
I would have thought that they would want to deny The Great Satan any public relations success.

They like to because it makes these guys martyrs.

 

[OldUSAFSniper]

I can see it now...

Imagine about 20 men sitting in a non-descript hut somewhere on the frontier of Yemen and Saudi Arabia. The oldest guy in the room is about 22 years old. They all turn to watch the "eldest" terrorist of the group come into the room. He's all of 25 years old and is wearing a carrot top wig and a big black handle-bar mustache and glasses. He quickly removes the wig and the handle-bar mustache so that he can address this group of 'freedom fighters.'

"Okay Muhammed," the oldest terrorist says while looking at the one they all know is a brick shy of a full load. "Al-Faswah is dead, so we've decided that you are now our leader here in Yemen."

"Abudla," Muhammed stutters. "I haven't been in the group that long, so I think that someone else should have the honor of leading our group."

"No way dude." Abudula counters. " We took a vote while you were gone getting smoothies and we feel like you are it. You inspire us. You make us WANT to kill Americans. No, YOU are our fearless leader and now that since we've appointed you supreme commander of Al Queda in the Arabian desert, let us know what you want to do. Just send me a text, DO NOT come to my house. Now I've got to get out of here because I hear the sound of an aircraft engine." And at that, Abudla puts on his carrot top wig and big black handle-bar mustache and slinks out of the hut.

Muhammed turns to protest to the others in the room, but they are all vanished.

Good job Mr. President.

It's a day later & Obama has yet to take credit. This is because he still does not know because he was not involved. He is waiting like the rest of us for information & confirmation. Obama has still not informed us of the operation or made any comment.

More likely some 18 year old meathead at Carson with a joystick thinking it's a video game.

Such a ******* cowardly liar, that rderp.

 

[whitehall]

The Washington Post released a report that the US has been secretly releasing high ranking al-Queda members in negotiations and at the same time it seems the Obama administration has been killing al-Queda members in million dollar drone attacks. We let them out of jail and then we kill them with missiles? What kind of convoluted insanity is that?
