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.

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.

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?

More territory for the new Caliphate.

Will Ossama Bin Laden by the new Caliph?

Once again, these coups are limited to U.S. allies or nations that we enjoy some level of post-9/11 cooperation with. Iran, Syria, Lebanon, all stable.

Will the Israeli Arabs start rising up? I don’t consider anything outside of the realm of possibilities.

The muzzie bro’hood in Egypt is taking over as we speak. Through MASSIVE voter fraud a few days ago, a referendum instituting a lift on the ban on faith-based government paves the way for Shariah law passed. Other referenda that passed sets the bro’hood up for a takeover. Keep in mind that just three months ago, in December, they were soundly defeated in their bid to take over legislative and judicial positions.

Egypt, Tunisia, and now Libya and Yemen.......all with the help of the U.S. president under the guise of “humanitarian” aid.

There can be no doubt left in anyone’s mind except that of an utter fool that obastard isn’t a muzzie and working against the best interests of this country. Compare his indifferent response to the true democratic insurgency of the Iranian populace last year compared to his aiding and abetting of the muzzie bro’hood efforts in Egypt and Libya. They didn’t need his help in Tunisia or Yemen - they simply tumbled.

Hopefully, he won’t be replaced by an Al Qaeda-friendly regime or a bunch of warlords like in Somalia.

in case anyone hasn’t figured out... the muslims are not capable of maintaining a viable democracy.... it is merely a transition to theocracy... soon the entire muslim world will be one bloc as a caliphate with aims of jihad against the rest of the world. and with the second coming of jimmy carter in the white house, I fear we will be unable to stand up to them...

remove obama... now...
