Speaking after a meeting with the Qatari Prime Minister today, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared the ongoing war in Yemen a threat to the entire world.
Clinton noted that the various civil wars in Yemen “seem to just get worse and worse with more players involved,” adding that it was time that the international community to lay out its “expectations” to the Yemeni government.
Yemen has sought to downplay the threat posed by al-Qaeda, and insists that it is more than capable of tackling the militants without international help. At the same time, the government has already turned to the US to provide increasing amounts of training and even weaponry.
Despite Secretary Clinton’s comments about laying out expectations, it appears that the US support for the Yemeni government is secure, and the question is exactly how large of a military commitment the Obama Administration intends to make to the conflict.
Ugh Shillery looks and talks more like Mussolini every day. Here are our "expectations" and if you don't meet them you will be invaded and occupied is quite literally the gangster talk of fascism. đ
Here again comes the contemporary "Iron Lady", how she can speak to the issues involving Yemen with a straight face is mind-numbing. These "hawks in dove feathers" lecture the world in behavioral manifestations, as they go, casually about, destroying the world. There are no words to properly portray what has become the most dangerous and peace shattering political hacks on the planet. While we lament and demonize the actions of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Truman, Kissinger et al, were there a Nobel Prize given for the worst skunk at the lawn party, I would nominate the aforementioned.

After 8 and more years of War on Terror we can see how Al Qaida instead of been defeated has spread to countries wher it was not there in 2001 : Iraq. Yemen, Somalia, Mauritania. We should ask ourselves if the policy of bombs and more bombs is achieving the purpose of winning the war or helping to create the fertile soil for more antiameicanism around the muslim world.
Only a person rendered incapable of thinking critically by years of indoctrination in government schools would believe that the outcome of the tribal wars in Yemen somehow represents a global threat. If Yemen were to vanish from the face of the earth tommorow it would not make one difference in the lives or liberties of the American people, or any other people that are commonly associated with the advanced industrial civilization made possible by free market capitalism. Any "threat" posed by Yemen can only manifest itself in the form of blowback by outsider interference in the various tribal conflicts in Yemen. If the yahoos in charge of the United States government would just mind their own damned business, the world would be a much better and more peaceful place.
