Over the weekend, the US State Department has confirmed, the Pentagon has completed pulling out its final 100 Special Operations forces from Yemen, all of whom had been at al-Anad airbase.
The airbase, near the southern city of Houta, had been the home for covert US military campaigns against al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), the al-Qaeda affiliate for Yemen.
The State Department said the move was related to increasing instability in the country. The Hadi government, which had supported US presence, was ousted weeks ago, and the Houthis who currently hold the capital are as opposed to the US and they are to AQAP themselves.
Officials from the State Department insisted, however, that the lack of US ground troops in Yemen would not impact the ongoing conflict against AQAP, suggesting that the drone war will continue.
Drone killers — Most perfect for regime change
So, will our Empire now go so far as to use drone killers to target the Houta leaders of government? If so, it will be the first time we assassinated government leaders in such an open and criminal way, which will make us wonder if Venezuela will be next?
Mission Accomplished…spreading of democracy and freedom (destabilization of country) complete… Next?!?!?
On NBC tonight Richard Engel, or somebody, made the absurd claim that now that those 100 U.S. mercenaries were forced out the U.S. would no longer be able to prevent civilian casualties because they will no longer have proper intelligence for conducting drone strikes. I wonder if the next step is an escalation of drone attacks with horrific civilian casualties blamed on the lack of U.S. special ops. or ground forces. Also in the entire NBC report there was no mention of the Shiite Houtie only some strange claim of like ISIS evolving from more radical al Qaeda groups. The entire report was obviously meant to deliberately misinform.
P.S. dump Google and advertise direct. Make a deal with another search engine that understands the difference between gratuitous violence and the suppression of pictures depicting genocide and crimes against humanity.
