Al-Qaeda Quickly Fills Void as Obama Administration Pushes Yemeni President From Power
Red, White and Blue News ^ | April 5, 2011

Posted on 04/05/2011 10:35:28 AM PDT by La Lydia

....As Yemeni President and American ally Ali Abdullah Saleh fights for his political life, Al Qaeda operatives are taking advantage of the void and have already stepped in to fill the power vacuum...Al Qaeda leaders like top propagandist and spiritual leader Anwar Al-Awlaki are ecstaticabout the recent developments in Yemen and across the Middle East.

The New York Times reported: "Counterterrorism operations in Yemen have ground to a halt, allowing Al Qaeda’s deadliest branch outside of Pakistan to operate more freely inside the country and to increase plotting for possible attacks against Europe and the United States, American diplomats, intelligence analysts and counterterrorism officials say.

"In the political tumult surrounding Yemen’s embattled president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, many Yemeni troops have abandoned their posts or have been summoned to the capital, Sana, to help support the tottering government, the officials said. Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the group’s affiliate, has stepped in to fill this power vacuum, and Yemeni security forces have come under increased attacks in recent weeks.

"A small but steadily growing stream of Qaeda fighters and lower-level commanders from other parts of the world, including Pakistan, are making their way to Yemen to join the fight there..."

Obama Administration officials are doing their best to ensure Al-Qaeda’s success. KBOI reported:

"The Obama administration is helping to grease the skids for the impending departure of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh. While he remains a strong U.S. ally in the war against al Qaeda and other Islamic extremists, Saleh has worn out his welcome with his own people...Yemeni officials say the U.S. is attempting to mediate a smooth exit for Saleh..."

Al Qaeda already declared South Yemen as an Islamic emirate last week.

If Obama came on with his teleprompter right now on LIVE TV and fessed up he infiltrated and or he is aiding radical muslims and ate a baby and said he was born on the planet Uranus and his eyes turned pitch red....

Maddow,Matthews nightly news MSM would pop on and bash the GOP and Bush and report Obama’s golf swing and if his daughters walked Bo all awhile saying how fashionable MO looked in her ugly belt in her toxic fake garden.

America has been successfully dumbed down by the media and the public schools.

America is in a coma, and I don’t know if she will wake up, or starve to death.

Forced conversion isn’t far behind.

This beyond lame and idiot and involves a US administration helping al qaeda and basically dangering our national security. Obama needs to go. This is past reckless and borders on treason.

I beg to differ. It is not treason.

You need to be a citizen to commit treason. This is espionage and an attack on our country by a non-uniformed enemy combatant

Obama is a spy

I think Obama is innocent until the muslem brotherhood/al quada move into the WH and proclaim sharia law. And even then he will be called an excellent global leader by our media.

“Maybe his highness The Muslum in Chief is a plant for Al Qaeda?”

I began wondering about that myself after learning the Al Qaeda is supporting the rebels in Libya.

Obama needs to be impeached, tried for treason for (among other things) giving aid and comfort to the enemy, and sent to a SuperMax for the rest of his wretched life.

Hope and change and human blood is spreading all over the world. There, fixed it.

How much in Afghanistan?
How much in Egypt?
How much in Yemen?
How much in Bahrain?
How much in the Ivory Coast?
How much in Iran?

Obama is removing a Christian from power to replace him with a radical muslim. There will be a blood bath soon like obama’s uncle conducted in Kenya.

Caliphate building isn’t easy.

Having the president of the most powerful country in the world on your side certainly helps a lot.

So is it Obama's intention to create as many pre-9/11 Afganistans as possible?

It sure appears so.

Pretty much. The actual argument seems to be over whether it is deliberate and malicious, or ignorant, inopportune and clumsy.

obama has took the side of muslims which killed over a thousand Christians this weekend in the Ivory coast.

he forced out an ally who has kept peace in the area for decades plus why was code pink and his pal Bill Ayers over there where he did that talk in Cairo?

Obama waged war in a country without congress getting to vote on it thus an illegal war while he spent his time on vacation in Rio.

Obama has took sides in Libya and waged war for the rebels who have Bin ladens cronies and nutters in it

Obama and his admin have given our best ally the UK nuclear secrets away to Russia.

Obama has snubbed Poland, Czech, UK, Germany and Israel

This is some foreign policy and this does not even mention Corp and corpse, inflate tires, 57 states, make deals with Petrobas so Soros makes billions and guess where that money goes to next year?

This has been nothing but Mickey mouse leadership and then there is the DOJ, their racist policies, suing states for doing the law, ignoring states which violate law, suing a PD to get mroe blacks in to becoming police when they cannot pass a simple exam.

then there is the Dept of Homeland defense and the idiot Janet.

Surely an investigation into the media has to be done, the whole press corp is on a ;love fest , even today one woman asked “Who is to blame if Govt gets shut down?”

Why lady you after talking points form dear messiah?
