Al-Qaeda Quickly Fills Void as Obama Administration Pushes Yemeni President From Power

....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.

Not sarcasm, actionable treason.

[manc]

THE MEDIA ARE A JOKE,

Even today they acted like it was a love fest when their messiah came out and did not ask him one question which is important or pull him up for his lies and attacks while saying we have to work together .

IT’S A DISGRACE ON HOW THIS WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORPS AND THE MEDIA HAVE ACTED FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS BUT THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS HAVE BEEN APPALLING

[Wyatt's Torch]

It’s almost like he’s creating and Islamic Caliphate on purpose...

[maica]

Nobody would miss Yemen if it disappeared entirely. Nobody.

%%%%

Disappeared yes, but while it exists on this planet, it is in a very strategic spot. Al Queda in charge now of the southern end of the Suez Canal. Great!

Nobody would miss Yemen if it disappeared entirely. Nobody.

It won't disappear. It will become a haven and homebase for muslim terrorists intent on ending your way of life.

[Gritty]

This is really frustrating, but there's not much we can personally do about this except stock up lots more beans and order more ammo. I have a sinking feeling we in the hinterlands are going to need both before this is all over.

This is insane. For the past ten years we have been foolishly prosecuting a deadly war on the faulty assumption our worst enemy is Al Qaeda and Radical Islam in all it's various malignant iterations. It is becoming increasingly obvious it isn't. It's our own Liberal fifth column which is much deadlier and are running the show.

Silly us, for believing otherwise.

It's as if we threw out the Continental Congress and put Parliament and King George III in charge and then fired Washington and replaced him with Lord Cornwallis. What's going on today makes about as much sense.

[keat]

If I went to the stated NYTimes report of this as stated in the article would it spell out T R E A S O N? Or just say that al quada in non secular and peaceful global loving dudes?

I believe the term is "youthful activists for democracy".

[NeoCaveman]

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

That's who I meant was building the caliphate.

[dead]

It will become a haven and homebase for muslim terrorists intent on ending your way of life.

That was my point. I wasn't suggesting it would disappear on its own.

[GVnana]

and diabolical.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

I LOLed but then realized it is probably not satire.

[Campion]

You misspelled “treasonous”.

[keat]

Got it.

[no-to-illegals]

I could not agree with you more. You are absolutely 100% correct. Silly us for believing. I too was wrong, if this is any consolation. Though I am not insane yet, I too recognize what is taking place is pure insanity by a zer0 administration. Hoping a backup plan is somewhere in the inner workings of the GOP, for this current plan being played is well down the road....imho

[Iscool]

I am not shocked...By now, I know Obama...But I am shocked at the lack of interest (or support of) by our politicians, at every level...

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

"Another triumph for the BO administration. /sarc/"

Actually, it is. He is doing what he set out to do. Note that every policy and action of his administration has furthered the cause of expansionary Islam. At some point even the most skeptical observers must agree it's not a coincidence.

[American Dream 246]

Obama is an idiot.

Hello Kim. Hope you are ok :-)

Sadly I don't think you got this one right. I am absolutely certain that O agenda is going exactly as planned. He is getting rid of all our allies in the middle east, like Mubarak who protected Israel and Yemen etc..., and he is replacing them with terrorists: muslim brotherhood and alqueda.

This was his plan from the beginning - his plan is to destroy America and Israel - this is part of the plan including ruining us. Obama and Soros plan is doing VERY well indeed and nobody is stopping them because they just think the guy is an idiot. He may be a puppet therefore idiot, but the plan he is following is going exactly as planned.

Sorry..

[American Dream 246]

Opps...sorry..Hello Jim

[American Dream 246]

Oops...sorry..Hello Jim

[Blood of Tyrants]

Anyone who thinks that Obastard is simply stupid or incompetent is a fool. EVERYTHING he does is on purpose. He is destroying the US and building up Al Queda on purpose.
