Donald Trump takes out another terrorist leader: U.S. kills Al Qaeda's chief in Yemen in an airstrike after he repeatedly threatened to attack American soil
Daily Mail ^ | February 1, 2020 | staff

The United States carried out an airstrike in January that killed a leader of Al Qaeda's affiliate in Yemen after months of tracking him, according to current and former government officials.

Qassim al-Rimi, 41, was killed in the January strike but officials had been waiting to confirm the information before making public statement, the New York Times reports.

Haven’t heard the Dems whining yet - they’ll probably try to use it in the next coup attempt...ironic and poetic.

Looks like a pattern—threaten to kill Americans—You die. America home of the brave—not the land of the wimps. This is Trump’s America and he doesn’t take it anymore.

The last one was most revered - at least to the Washington Post.

Oh no! Most revered definitely has more status than most beloved. We are in even greater peril than I feared.

“George W Bush is a conqueror of Baghdad”

Yes, you’re absolutely correct. He conquered it for the swamp to enable Iran to just take over the entire region, including Iraq. The ensuing mess further worsened by his fellow obama regime gave the Western world all those wonderful refugees.

GREAT JOB, GEORGE!!!!!!
