Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh suffers burns on 40% of his body and has collapsed lung, U.S. officials say.

spontaneous combustion?

[Stonewall Jackson]

With an RPG as the ignition source.

Someone juiced up his hookah......

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

[Jeff Chandler]

I hate it when that happens.

[DTogo]

Talking on his cellphone while pumping gas?

[TigerLikesRooster]

I remember hearing that he was hit by a rock. Yemeni rock must be really explosive.

[REDWOOD99]

Wow! He literally IS toast!

[DTogo]

A Molotov cocktail, on the rocks.

[Norm Lenhart]

Allah was aiming for the infidel standing next to him and missed...ALLAH FUBAR!!!!... er, I mean it was the will of Allah!!

[Stonewall Jackson]

This is why you shouldn’t drink and smoke at the same time.

[beelzepug]

Yumpin’ Yemeni!

[Wiggins]

Wow that must hurt. Kind of like being struck by St. Elmo’s fire.

[Wiggins]

Richard Prior still leads him in burning himself up.

"Richard Prior still leads him in burning himself up."

"When you're on fire, running down the road - people will get out of your way!"

Was it der yalapeno Peepers?

Four others are killed

[wardaddy]

given that it is Yemen

I will go on record promising that whomever replaces him will be less friendly to us

no doubt whatsoever

a hotspot impossible to govern without a heavy hand and rife with that which hates us

[Wiggins]

When your on fire all you can do is just drop and roll. That’s all I can say.

[SpaceBar]

Yup, won’t end well. A thug we knew is being replaced with a big question mark.

[Flag_This]

I swiped the quote from one of Richard Pryor’s old routines. For someone who nearly burned himself to death, he had a really good sense of humor about it.

[Miss Behave]

Lighting his rearex emissions?

[AmericanInTokyo]

Couldnt have happened to a nicer guy.

However, AL QAEDA IN THE ARABIAN PENINSULA (AQAP) will be 100x worse than this buzzard (who instructs soldiers to fire on his own people)

[Lazamataz]

HOW! WHY! Jesus Joesph and Mary, the story isn’t the burns, the story is Yemen’s president nearly got assassinated!

[Squantos]

Agree.... Not that it was a vacation spot in the first place.

[Loyal Sedition]

“(who instructs soldiers to fire on his own people)”

What’s the big deal with that?

We’ve done it here too, running the “Bonus Army” out of DC for example, and most recently Kent State, Ruby Ridge, and WACO.
I do not recall any administration members of any rank getting into any real trouble over any of these incidents.

[TigerLikesRooster]

Real tough choices here. Between evil and extremely evil.

[21twelve]

As a norski - LOL!

(Uff da!)

[TigerLikesRooster]

Follow-up

An Arab diplomatic source with knowledge of Saleh's condition says one shrapnel wound is 7 centimeters (2.75 inches) deep.

[spetznaz]

He should have left when he had the chance to walk away. :^)

[Pollster1]

That’s a mission kill. He won’t be effective as a leader until a long time after this is settled one way or the other. Not that Saleh was our friend, but there is a very high risk that his replacement will be even worse for America, for Israel, for women in his country, for the few non-Muslims in that country, and for the world. I imagine Obama is backing the rebels for all those reasons.

[athelass]

Allah FUBAR. That’s a keeper!

[athelass]

So, they are no longer willing to wait for political solutions. They’re going straight to assassination. Not good.

[SunkenCiv]

[SF_Redux]

toasted muslimes on a (rocket) stick, and the problem is?

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks TigerLikesRooster. He’s not a young guy. But this isn’t going to slow things down, Yemen is just getting going (again).

[FDNYRHEROES]

HOW! WHY! Jesus Joesph and Mary, the story isn’t the burns, the story is Yemen’s president nearly got assassinated!

40% assassinated...

Bada Bing....swoosh....that means you nailed it.
