Hundreds of Militants Planning Attacks From Yemen, Foreign Minister Says
Fox News ^ | 12/29/2009 | Times of London

Posted on 12/29/2009 9:46:00 AM PST by EagleUSA

Hundreds of Al Qaeda militants are planning terror attacks from Yemen, the country's foreign minister said Tuesday.

Abu Bakr al-Qirbi appealed for more help from the international community to help train and equip counter-terrorist forces.

His plea came after an Al Qaeda group based in Yemen claimed responsibility for the failed Christmas Day airliner bomb plot.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, alleged to be behind the attempt to blow up an American-bound aircraft, spent time in Yemen with Al Qaeda and was in the country only days before the failed attack.

Al-Qirbi said: "Of course there are a number of Al Qaeda operatives in Yemen and some of their leaders. We realize this danger.

"They may actually plan attacks like the one we have just had in Detroit. There are maybe hundreds of them — 200, 300."

Yemen’s foreign minister is taking a page out of Rahm’s playbook-don’t let a crisis go to waste. Shake down the US for some dough. Some more candy for Yemen’s pols and a few “rehab” programs for terrorists.

Everything 0bama has done has:
A. weakened America
B. strengthened islam
C. attacked Israel
...or some combination of the above.

Can you cite something -anything- of substance that he’s done that doesn’t fit A, B and/or C?

Bring ‘em on! Drop ‘em here in Mobile. We know how to take care of terrorists down here. Gator bait, anyone?

That was my thought, too. They want some help from us, so they use this as an excuse.

Frankly, Obama could care less about Muslim terrorists, but he may get involved if the Saudi king asks him to.

Meantime, they can get some aid money out of us.

Good question. Maybe she had an accident in Chicago? Maybe she is living in Brazil now? I thought she was the Sec. of State?....but I forget...that is part of the legitimate U.S. government which is in mothballs now. I don’t think that Obama’s shadow government has a Sec. of State.....
