This is a really interesting video. It's from Al Jazeera. There's a local guy that says there are Al Queda members in the country and he knows what roads they travel on. There's also info about how Obama congratulated the Yemeni's on their successful mission. The Yemeni's claim to have conducted the raid, but people suspect it was the US because of the sophistication.

2. War is a racket...
A fictitious enemy is needed to justify funding the US war economy.

3. I so resent that my tax dollars, our tax dollars is paying for all of this instead of needed
infrastructure, jobs and services here where we are bleeding
and dying in a different way, but still bleeding and dying
thanks to these pigs.   Wish we had a mission impossible crew
that could take all warheads out of commission and take
privileges to sell goods and services and their businesses
licenses away.  These kinds of economics wreak havoc on the
human race and the returns only benefit a few.  What can we
do?  Train our children to refuse to be fodder for their use?

5. The attack was (possibly) immoral, but...
If we believe the sources when they say that Obama sent a congratulation letter (which he did), we should also believe them when they say it was Yemen who carried out the attack with U.S. intelligence, hardware to get Al Qaeda. (Which they probably did.)

There's no doubt that there are Al Qaeda affiliates in the country. Neither country woke up this morning feeling like fucking with some innocent people. They honestly thought that the preemptive strike would cause less people to die than if the people they killed were suicide bombers.

6. "if the people they killed were suicide bombers"
They were blown to bits, so obviously they were guilty, american bombs are righteous so no real investigation is needed, these Al Qaeda terrorists are so devious that they disguise themselves as women and children, thank god Obama is keeping us safe.

7. I suspect Bush
Poll numbers to go up in the near future as Americans see there really was no difference between Bush and Obama when it comes to murdering people in other countries.
