The Arabs must be very irritated of the Iranians' proxies waging war on them. They have struck back with air strikes wounding or killing Anwar al-Aulaqi, the terrorist preacher who exchanged emails with Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan (psychiatrist who killed 13 patriot soldiers at Ft. Hood, TX).

Bump with a question! Is anyone else experiencing agonizingly slow FR page loading? ;-(

Yemeni forces, backed by the United States, launched an attack

Exactly what does "backed by the United States" mean Mr. President?

Where "code pink" when you need them. They must be getting fitted for their Obama knee pads

It does concern me we are getting involved in a proxy war with Iran. What about getting involved with Iran's proxy war in Gaza and Lebanon ?

Oh' yea. Lebanon and Gaza doesn't have any "earl"

Yemeni forces, huh? I bet they looked a lot like these guys...

[Delacon]

Yemeni forces, backed by the United States, launched an attack Thursday on a meeting of al-Qaeda operatives where a Yemeni American preacher linked to the suspected gunman in the Fort Hood attacks might have been present, U.S. and Yemeni officials said.

 

Gunman? Attacks? It almost sounds like the media here no longer agrees with the MSM meme that Hasan was just a poor deranged indivigual that has nothing to do with islamic terriorism. Whoda thought?

[gandalftb]

The Yemeni Air Force does not have the training, weapons platforms or precision ordnance to conduct an air strike at night on a residence.

There is no Yemeni army presence or special forces anywhere near the air strike.

There have been about 760 sorties all over Yemen against Houthis and Al Qaeda training camps, all daylight raids. There have been about 20 sorties, at night, precision ordnance, by undeclared parties.... Calling Captain Obvious....

Yemeni attacked al-Qaeda operatives and kills Anwar al-Aulaqi?

I'm wondering why he was killed. Did he know more? How many more operatives he may have known is hiding out stateside, in our military, in our schools, government (Obama), etc.

One of the possible meeting participants was Anwar al-Aulaqi, a U.S. citizen and extremist preacher who exchanged e-mails with the Army psychiatrist suspected of killing 13 people at the Fort Hood Army base.

I doubt the US military initiates new action on foreign soil without diplomatic contacts at the highest levels. So, one wonders why this strike now?

My guess is they don't want this creep testifying at Hasan's trial because it would prove that his WAS an act of terrorism, about which the Army would then have to DO something. We wouldn't want that... now would we?

Further, the Army would then be liable to the survivors of the victims for harboring a known terrorist. Can you say treble damages? We wouldn't want that either, now would we?

In the process, his defenders might just have to do discovery on whether there were any orders from the top systematically protecting this creep. We wouldn't want that either.

Ordering a strike in Yemen then starts looking pretty good.
