Been going on for years cuz.
Just about every time they catch or kill a bunch of terrorists it seems some of them are from Yemen.
Of course Osama Bin Laden is from Yemen.
Yemen btw is ancient Sheba as in Queen of Sheba. It once had a lot of Christians and Jews but now is just about totally Islamic.
I hope they are just training them to parade, because anything else will end up being used against us.
Nah those guys are hardcore.

You have a point. We let them in on our secrets and techniques, they come back and use them to attack us. I hope we’re exercising a little prudence here.
That said, I read earlier today that Iran is cozying up to Yemen and is planning on providing some sort of “support” along the Yemen-Saudi border. It would be awful for us to wind up having to support Saudi Arabia, which has been almost as bad as Yemen in the area of terrorist production.

Where have you been? We’ve supported Saudi Arabia ever since FDR and King Abd Al Aziz met in February, 1945 aboard one of our cruisers on one of the Bitter Lakes in the Suez Canal.
