As Bob Dole said, the Democrats are the party of war. Obama is just returning the party to its Wilsonian/world policing roots. The belief of some here that he is an anti-military peacenik has no basis.

Libs will love this. The Nobel Peace Prize winner is not only continuing the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, but is expanding it to Yemen. Actually, when you think of it, the noose is tightening on Iran, so Iran may be Obama’s next conquest.

Let me be contrarian here: The recent US attack in Yemen was probably precipitated by good intel regarding the then upcoming attack over Detroit.

Jim you are "probably" correct. But this should be HIGHLY CRITICIZED for its HYPOCRISY. Zero has declared the "War on Terror" is over ... and that he is the President of Peace. ....now this? The man is a liar ... again, and again and again. And we need to call him on it again, and a again, and again!

Did you watch the debates? Obama ran to the right of McCain on the issue of escalating the Afghan War. He also played footsie with AIPEC repeatedly throughout the campaign. He is a Wilsonian/world policer through and through and his campaign promises reflected that.

Calling Code Pink. Warmonger Obama on the loose.

Guess will see who is just a political tool of the RAT Party and who actually has beliefs (no matter how misguided they may be).

I’ve said before that Yemen would be the next front in the WOT. That place needs some major cleaning out.

No I think Obama is a real killer and he will kill in the thousands. Clinton just did individuals.

You recall correctly. We've been active in east Africa throughout the GWOT. It's the only front that has been more overlooked by the idiotic MSM than the Philippines. Oversees news media have covered a bit of the activity as have smaller US outfits such as strategypage and various milblogs.

....And most of them will be Americans in the 2010 civil war.

After all, Zero hates patriotic Christian Americans much more than his co-religionists.

I agree: Zero is a real killer.

Geeee President Bush needed the support of Congress and the UN to appease the leftists and invade Afghanistan and then Iraq. Apparently this candy *ssed impostor in chief doesn’t have to waste is time with protocol. I’m sure the Liberal Peaceniks will be out in droves now that Obama unilaterally decided to invade Yemen! Look for scathing criticism of the fraud in chief in tomorrow’s NYT!!!!

This is what African dictators do. They kill millions because it makes them feel like men. Idi Amin, Et al... Its a tribal thing and Obama will kill millions because its fun and it makes him feel like a big tribal leader. The blood is on the hands of the Democratic Party. They own this clown. They own the dead...

Keep in mind that during the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution the Left tried to kill as many Bourgeoisie as possible because power arises from the empowered class. Here, the empowered class are the labor unions, public employees, teachers, professors, the media and the liberal establishment. When the next American Revolution starts, these people must be taken out to keep leftism suppressed. This means Americans have to pick on other Americans and it won't be pretty. Better to win this thing politically...

I think the last forty years were one long attempt to work things out politically that didn’t work. How could it when one party wants socialism (slavery) and the other wants liberty? You end up with a house divided and only brute force can settle the issue.

I agree when the balloon goes up it will be a blood bath. You hit the nail on the head when say a vast section of the American population will be “taken out,” and they will be by means of execution, imprisonment and exile.

The great weakness and strength in the American system of government is that by allowing freedom of speech, press, etc. you allow the formation of a hostile opposition to the Republic and set the stage for civil war, and you allow the defenders of the Republic the opportunity to wage successful civil war in response.

It is never pretty. But, if the liberal establishment stands, all is lost. The Reagan Revolution ended in failure because he coddled the very people that hated him the most. Being nice to liberals is ALWAYS a sucker play. They hate us with such passion that NOTHING will appease them. Only a total dismantling of the liberal state can preserve our freedom. “ Makin a list.... checkin it twice.... gonna find out who's liberal tonight, Paul Revere is comin’ to town.....”
