You think 'we' are in Yemen'?

Hilarious.

Do you know how far Yemen is from Afghanistan? No? I thought not.

The Only presence 'we' have in Yemen is an embassy. Did you think we have a Marine base there? Actually you probably do and your evidence is 'we can't see it so it must be hidden'.

You don't need soldiers to be on the ground to have a presence.

So what is it ? A web presence? A spiritual presence? Christmas Presence?

Other than having an embassy what the fuck are you on about?

Corporations and government policy. You really think we have embassies in countries we have no interest in? Look at Iraq we didn't bring freedom to them, we brought american corporations. here is an interesting link.

We don't need soldiers on the ground anymore.

http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/09/...drone-war/

Quote:29 dead in a little over a week. Nearly 200 gone this year. The White House is stepping up its campaign of drone attacks in Yemen, with four strikes in eight days. And not even the slaying of 10 civilians over the weekend seems to have slowed the pace in the United States’ secretive, undeclared war.

Soldiers are becoming obsolete.

They tend to miss a lot.

http://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/201...s-strikes/

Quote:The Bureau has identified credible reports of 168 children killed in seven years of CIA drone strikes in Pakistan’s tribal areas. These children would account for 44% of the minimum figure of 385 civilians reported killed by the attacks.

If the residents of Pakistan's tribal areas stopped crossing into Afghanistan to attack the forces of and allied to its lawful ,elected government then there would be no need for such attacks

You mean the puppet government set up there by the u.s. which not only hand picked the current leader but kept recounting the election votes till they got the person they wanted to play ball?

By the way, wait and see how you feel about drones because if you live in the u.s. expect to see them above your head, Obama has ordered 15,000.
