For years, Barack Obama has called al Qaeda “decimated, “defeated,” and “on the run.” Recently in Yemen, the so-called “decimated” terrorist organization held its largest gathering in years – in broad daylight.

Yemen is a mess. It's a real hotbed of potential problems.

However, Uncle Saudi, to the north, does have a firm hold on their "private" parts and will know EXACTLY when to squeeze and when to ease up, as the saying goes.

My husband and I lived in Saudi Arabia for five years when we worked for Saudi ARAMCO. We got to know the Saudi Arab mind.
Arab logic and thinking is DIFFERENT that ours (the West).

Certainly was a target-rich terrorist environment we missed.

...or didn't miss and strikes were not approved.

But the drone strike could have killed Americans. The American government has no right to kill Americans.

The Eye of the US gov’t was on Bundy rather than al Qaeda.

soetoro was likely at the rally, or had a telecom hookup.

You are so right.
baraq and his fellow travelers are more interested in squashing their internal political enemies then protecting this country from external threats. They and their media still think that none of this will affect them.
bad assumption on their part.

WRONG! Option C: CIA condoned that meeting...because it, like the Al Qaeda attack at Benghazi...has to do with fighting Assad in Syria for 0bama.

Unprecedented. There are more al Qaeda in Yemen than there are Americans with a functioning Obamacare health insurance plan.

Maybe obama can use the surveillance equipment that is being used here in the USA to monitor everyone in cities like Compton...... Naw, he does not want to spy on his kind of people.
