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

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.

Real tough choices here. Between evil and extremely evil.

As a norski - LOL!

(Uff da!)

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.

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).

40% assassinated...
