The U.S. and Yemen are now looking at fresh targets in Yemen for a potential retaliation strike, two senior U.S. officials told CNN Tuesday, in the aftermath of the botched Christmas Day attack on an airliner that al Qaeda in Yemen claims it organized.
The officials asked not to be not be identified because of the sensitive nature of the information. They both stressed the effort is aimed at being ready with options for the White House if President Obama orders a retaliatory strike. The effort is to see whether targets can be specifically linked to the airliner incident and its planning.
U.S. special operations forces and intelligence agencies, and their Yemeni counterparts, are working to identify potential al Qaeda targets in Yemen, one of the officials said. This is part of a new classified agreement with the Yemeni government that the two countries will work together and that the U.S. will remain publicly silent on its role in providing intelligence and weapons to conduct strikes.

The only retaliatory strike Zero will ever order is against Wasilla, Alaska.
it will take the obamite war council three months to decide whether to pull the trigger or not . . .
Hello my fellow muzzies, it’s me the peace president.
I have to look tough to the american people so we are going to hit your dunes.
Go ahead and pack the camels and get the heck out of there. Leave the candles on so we can hit the tents.
Have faith, the US is going to fail under my leadership.
The Obama family came from YEMEN...he wouldn’t dare...
About choked reading. LOL
This will be blamed on Bush as well. The geniuses over at DU are blaming Bush for releasing the prisoners from Gitmo (and I don’t disagree), while screaming like banshees to release every one of them to the general population.
The disconnect of rudimentary discursive reasoning among liberals is a cancer that is on the verge of becoming inoperable for our nation’s survival.
asprin factories?
Well figured so...I hope so or any other actionable intelligence they get from any part of the world.
“When I take action, I’m not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It’s going to be decisive.”- President Bush
IIRC, the Bin Ladens are Yemeni.
Baby milk factories.
Gee that makes me feel good, Wasilla is 11 miles from me.
Hussein will hit another camel's ass in a tent. Period.
Nah... too much of a chance of hitting an innocent polar bear.
Obama will do nothing at all.
I’m watching House Hunters and that game me an idea..why don’t they take Obama to three difference locations that they can strike, then he can decide, on TV, which one it will be.
Heads up to his mujahideen brothers. “Psst, here we come guys!”
Pres_ _ent Obama ALWAYS warns terrorists of US intentions
as he PROTECTS terrorists.
America is tied down, for its rape, by Friends of Obama
and his Soldiers of Allah.
Were back to shooting empty tents and camels in the ass with multi million dollar cruise missiles...
silly thing to campaign so early
“When I take action, I’m not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It’s going to be decisive.”- President Bush
I miss him.
I thought of that quote immediately.
Back to September 10th we go.
Remembering, in one of his books, he stated if it came to us or the muslims he would have to side with them.....
Will a freedom of information request determine who told who what and when?
First, we need to parachute in a few thousand agents to read everyone their rights before we attack the empty shacks.
Hildy, they’d have to provide professional stagers first.....
The only sand trap that Obama will hit is Tiger’s old girl friends; since they’re not his Islamic brothers, a real sister or cousin of the right persuasion.
Here we go...
Clinton Cruise Missle part deux...
This administration is a slap in the face of every American that has died fighting for our freedoms.
Shameful what people have done to this country...
Be vewy, vewy quiet. Wahabbits have vewy big eahs!
If it wasn't for liberals every terrorist we caught would be safetly tucked away in secret prisons, wearing panties on their head, getting waterboarded 3 times a day by Karl Rove and Don Rumsfeld, and getting barked at by unsympathetic Alsatians, until Ann Coulter has enough time set aside to prepare them for conversion and dress them up for Sunday school.
“I give myself a solid B plus “
wow! why would they attack innocent people in response to the efforts of a “lone terrorist”.....?
That's probably the goal but the funny thing is, the way it's written it sounds like Obama hasn't even been involved in the process so far- and hasn't even asked for the options they are drawing up:
The officials asked not to be not be identified because of the sensitive nature of the information. They both stressed the effort is aimed at being ready with options for the White House if President Obama orders a retaliatory strike...
Somehow it's not reassuring to find out the planners are knowingly leaking 'sensitive information.'
Now you know why they are called the “Communist News Network”, or “Teabagger Central”.
Such brilliance!
Are they announcing targets in Iraq next?
If anyone tries to complain on DU that they can't have their cake and eat it too, he or she gets banned quickly. So DU simply soldiers on in unanswered irony.
In a Clintonian move, they will demolish the now abandoned camp where the bomb training took place.

They meant a workers’ “strike”, not the missile kind.
I’m watching House Hunters and that game me an idea..why don’t they take Obama to three difference locations that they can strike, then he can decide, on TV, which one it will be.
....and then, at U. S. Taxpayers expense, we can rebuild, and give a one trillion dollar prize for being a good sport.
Fools. Apparently, it’s more important that the Administration be seen as doing something, than having an attack that actually kills our adversaries.
