Obama Ordered U.S. Military Strike on Yemen Terrorists
“On orders from President Barack Obama, the U.S. military launched cruise missiles early Thursday against two suspected al-Qaeda sites in Yemen, administration officials told ABC News in a report broadcast on ABC World News with Charles Gibson.
“One of the targeted sites was a suspected al Qaeda training camp north of the capitol, Sanaa, and the second target was a location where officials said “an imminent attack against a U.S. asset was being planned.”

U.S. Launched Missile Strikes on Al Qaeda in Yemen, Sources Say
“The U.S. has launched two missile strikes against Al Qaeda targets in Yemen, two U.S. officials told Fox News, signaling an escalation of the Obama administration’s fight against the terrorist organization.
“The politically sensitive strikes Thursday, first reported by ABC News, supplement efforts already under way by the government of Yemen to go after Al Qaeda in the country…”

Obama ordered deadly blitz on Yemen: US media
“US Nobel Peace Prize laureate President Barack Obama has signed the order for a recent military strike on Yemen in which scores of civilians, including children, have been killed, a report says.
“Upon the orders of Obama, the military warplanes on Thursday blanketed two camps in the North of the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, claiming there were “an imminent attack against a US asset was being planned,” ABC News quoted anonymous administration officials as saying on Friday. ”
U.S. intelligence had prior warning of the 12/25 attack, and they even carried out an attack on Yemen a week before the attack.
But the attack was ineffective at stopping the attack, and the attack was carried out right under the CIA’s nose while the attackers were under intenst scrutiny.
How does somebody attack the USA while the CIA is looking right at them?
It doesnt matter, the Dems will just work it six ways back to Bush.
What ever happened to THE BUCK STOPS HERE! ?
In Bush’s first year as president 2,966 civilians in the U.S. were killed by terrorist. In Obama’s first year as president zero civilians in the U.S. were killed by terrorist.
Give a little credit
That’s what you get when you appoint someone with ZERO intelligence experience to head the CIA.
EDIT: I see Ron is twisting and turning every which way to get rid of the 14 terrorist deaths under Obama. If they were civilians, he would say “Obama has had zero deaths with red hair on his watch.”
Know what, its time to take off the hair shirt, the people responsible for the terror attacks are terrorists.
If they didn’t get their quota of celestial virgins they wouldn’t be so happy to burn their privates off in this life, I mean how do you get through to people like that?
No one can stop them, they get bomb shoes, we get to go barefoot at airports, they use box cutters and ceramic knives, we get x-rays, they use real visas, we get to hang out in airports while they check lists with everyone over two years of age on them. So this time some joker puts a bomb in his shorts and we get to have naked pictures of ourselves. Its all reactive because they have no standing armies, no country, no stable headquarters.
So, get used to it, you can’t stop it unless you are willing to do things to end all trade, traffic, and education throughout the world.
