Yemen asks U.S. for drones to fight al Qaeda

SANAA | Thu Aug 22, 2013 10:37am EDT

(Reuters) - Yemen has asked the United States to supply it with drones, President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi said on Thursday, to help it fight an al Qaeda threat that recently forced Western countries to temporarily close diplomatic missions in Sanaa.

...."Yemen requests Obama 'supplies them' with Drones!"...

What fools to ask we supply them with Drones when there is already a cooperative effort there! But it would be just like Obozo to again put our technology in the hands of those who will share it with the terrorists....if on the ground they'll simply steal them...stupid request!

From the article and his request:

"The drones that are conducting operations are part of the cooperation between us and the United States," Hadi told the cadets.

He said Yemen had allowed the United States to undertake such operations because his country did not possess such technology to carry out "these precise military missions".

"I have discussed the issue of helping us acquire this technology with the U.S. administration," Saba quoted Hadi as saying, adding that the Yemeni army was capable of using drones.
