Yemem's Government Poised to Fall
WorldThreats.com ^ | 3/22/2011 | Ryan Mauro

The editor-in-chief of the Yemen Post, Hakim Almasmari, says that he believes Yemeni President Saleh’s 32-year reign will end within the next 24 hours. A top military leader has turned on him and ordered his forces to protect the protesters. Unless Saleh is able to fight a civil war, the leader will soon be gone, and an opening for Iranian proxies, the Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Qaeda, will be created.

A foreign policy designed to follow the whims of European and media perceptions rather than raw national interests is certainly working out well, don't you think? No one will shed a tear for Saleh, of course. He's a cutthroat, but these aren't democrats ready to take his place, either.

Indeed and very well put. It's all political. Everything Obama does is calculated for maximum political effect. There is no principle here other than perception and image. An empty suit on steroids.

I heard that fifty protesters were shot dead in the street yesterday in Yemen. I haven’t heard any calls to stop the “genocide” there though.

David Cameron and Nicholas Sarkozy can own a piece of that too can’t they?

Muzzies world wide are rising up against any government that is not already controlled by terrorists actively engaged in supporting anti-american activities, and this is a direct result of Obama the muslim commie being elected POTUS, they see it as a sign from Allah that the time has come for them to act.

Before this is over Yemen, Pakistan, and Turkey will be in AQ hands.

How do you define “raw national interest”? Is it distinct from “unraw” national interest? Is raw better than unraw? Furthermore, how do you know yet whether or not it will turn out well? We are only a couple months into it?

Notice how ALL the “governments” in trouble or falling happen to be those not activly involved in attacking the West?
The MUzzzie Brotherhood is reaping the rewards of all that Saudi-Financed Wahabbi Bull$hit of the last couple of generations.
Great going MuzzieBarryKenyanCommie!

Most of the middle east from Pakistan to Morocco will be under the control of Islamict mullahs in the near future.

It’s going to get crazy. We haven’t seen anything yet.

Yep - kind of like looking at the roster of OPEC and watching a domino effect.

Deserves repeating. The turmoil's part of a larger strategy. And, we allowed it to happen right before our eyes.

By failing on its own the Yemen Government has saved the US military at least 100 cruise missiles.

well, I suppose that once AQ has a set of 10 or 15 countries that they can safely operate in, there is no longer any reason for us to stay in Afghanistan and Barry can pull the troops out.

Do you think that’s what he is angling for?

I fear you have hit the nail on the head.

What's interesting to me is how the people of Iran are rather quiet. We're led to believe they're on the cusp of an uprising.

Hello? Hello Iran? Where is your uprising???

Where are your "young people" with their twitters and blackberries? Tweet something for chrissakes!!!

I don’t think he’s a household name yet. Ahmedinijhad is key, but not the leader.
