Cruise Missile Attacks in Yemen

"a local Yemeni official said on Sunday that 49 civilians, among them 23 children and 17 women, were killed in air strikes against Al-Qaeda, which he said were carried out 'indiscriminately'." Media reports across the Muslim world -- though, not of course, within the U.S. -- are highlighting the dead civilians from the U.S. strike (one account from an official Iranian outlet began: "U.S. 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").

Has Obama lost what was left of his mind. There are laws forbidding this, but nobody does anything. Who would, you might have AQ in your back yard and your family gets taken out.



The so called terrorists do not hate us for our freedoms, they hate us because we sit around worrying about our sports teams while our government kills their women and children. I would do the same goddamn thing.

Do we have a credible source other than taking the Iranian government's word for it?

The story comes from Salon. Let me look, I did not realize I needed three or four sources...

Obama Ordered U.S. Military Strike on Yemen Terrorists....no report of civilians on this one, big surprise.





You can look the get the rest here, the "reputable" sources will not say anything about the civilians Obama murdered.

Here......

So this strike was conducted on terror sites with the consent of the Yemen leaders. Maybe the terrorists should stop hiding behind innocent civilians.

Here is the gist of what your saying, is a bad guy was asleep at home, we should kill him and his family and blame the families death on him. Out fucking standing, the neocons are proud of you.

Yemenis protest at killing of civilians

The US provided firepower and other aid to Yemen in this week’s strike against the suspected al Qa’eda hideouts and training camps, The New York Times reported yesterday.



Barack Obama, the US president, approved the military and intelligence support, which came at the request of the Yemeni government. It was intended to help stem growing attacks against US and other foreign targets in Yemen, the Times reported on its website late on Friday.

The civilians should shut their mouths, Yemen need the funds from the war on terror, people have to die, and the US will get another country for the corporate owners of this country. It is a win win, unless you actually like women and children!

He's the one who chose to be a terrorist and place his family in harms way. If you decided to take your family to a bank robbery and one of them was killed in the cross fire ... who'se fault is it?

First of all, Al Qaeda is a generic term, anyone standing up against an oppressive government is AQ. Secondly, these murder victims were not blowing anything up, they were home.
