President Barack Obama welcomed the decision, saying the U.S. would stand by the Yemeni people “as they embark on this historic transition.”

Saleh signed the U.S.-backed power-transfer deal; (ending his 33-year rule), brokered by neighboring countries, Wednesday in the Saudi capital Riyadh in exchange for immunity from prosecution.

If the deal holds, he’ll be the fourth leader to lose power in the wave of Arab Spring uprisings this year, following longtime dictators in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya.

The muslim brotherhood has no reason to stop their plans and they have nothing but time.

The leaders that are being knocked off were dumb for not making sure to preserve “sanctuary countries” for themselves. France still works for some people, I don’t know other than that. These leaders that are being knocked off don’t realize that their fortunes can’t save them against the mb.

The mb wants to take over, I guess that’s all there is to say.

The leaders of free nations of the world are idiotic for not doing the opposite of what they’re doing, and smashing the rebel movements.

Years from now the mb will coelesce all the nations they take over and become a bigger problem.

cas, “The muslim brotherhood has no reason to stop their plans and they have nothing but time.”

The Muslim brotherhood aunt what It usta be, young, bright, dedicated … The pot and the power is now being stirred by a Kenyan. The Brotherhood is old feeble and failing, PotUS is bringing on “the nothing”

Bloody crackdown; Cry Havoc
A crackdown on anti-government protests, which began in February, has left hundreds of people dead and thousands wounded in Yemen.
President Saleh – Dictator since 1978 may hand over power to Deputy Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi “in return for immunity from prosecution”.
Mr. Hadi is then “expected to form a national unity government and also call for early presidential elections within 90 days.”

The deal envisages that Mr. Saleh will remain as honorary president for three months after signing the agreement.
Full faith and credit of the office of the PotUS,

Thanks Pieter, R.

Thanks Rabin.
[Zero] welcomed the decision, saying the U.S. would stand by the Yemeni people "as they embark on this historic transition."
IOW, Zero won't stand behind the deal, and as always, the word of a Muzzie is worthless.
