Tom McInerney on Fox News today where he talked about what possible strikes against Al-Qaeda in Yemen would look like. Reports McInerney said there are "at least 1,000 Al-Qaeda in Yemen." In comparison, McInerney said there are maybe "50-100 in Afghanistan." "They have moved to Yemen," according to McInerney. The General said we clearly have the capability to strike those targets, but said that alone won't do the job if President Obama continues to refuse to recognize that we are in a "Global War on Terror."
