There is a powerful motive for AQ's war in Yemen: It's closer to Mecca than is Riyadh. Mecca is the prize; this is a war for the Caliphate. The Muslim Brotherhood wants it too; hence Egypt. Once across the Red Sea, Mecca is only 40 miles from the coast.
Good reason to get them killing each other.

"...I NEVAR believe these. “Whew, close call..!” Yeah, little too convenient.
BTW, I foiled an AQ plot in Peoria last night. It would have been a Doosey if they'd pulled it off, but...

Wouldn’t one or two cruise missiles straighten mecca out? This isn't just any war; it is a religious war, one that currently employs guerilla tactics in some places, terrorism in others, and full frontal assault where they think they can make it work... Hence, it is an all-out total war, at least on their part. To defeat them, means to defeat every single one of them to the depths of they tortured psyches. I do agree with you on one thing: do it for as little money as possible.
My solution: destroy the faith by ridicule of its supposedly invulnerable central icon, the Kaaba. Send a B2 from the central US, and carpet bomb it... with pigs. Dead pigs everywhere. Photograph the hell out of it. Then, amid all the screaming, wailing, and global outcry, give them 24 hours notice to get out of town. Make it really clear. Then level Mecca, completely, not a single standing stone. Show them what power means.
Then, and only then, invalidate Islam for ever. Expose the lie that is the Koran with the archaeological data (that Yemeni copy would do nicely). Teach them the vacuity of their faith. Leave them empty and defeated.
Then send missionaries to save them from their damned existence.
