We are focused on Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. Afghanistan will be a picnic when it comes to Al Qaeda taking root after all vestiges of the current Yemeni regime is driven out.The Yemeni were bin Laden’s biggest supporters.Unfortunately fighting these Islamic terrorists is like whack a mole. No sooner do we clean them out of one country do they crop up in another. What were formerly Afghanistan training camps for Al Qaeda will become Yemeni training camps after their “democracy” revolution.

Yemen's entire population was estimated at 23,580,000. IOW, this is another "Love the Smell of BS in the Morning" ping.
