| [NY Times] A C.I.A. drone strike on Monday on a car in eastern Yemen, the first since the resignation of President Abdu Rabbu Mansour Hadi, killed three suspected Qaeda gunnies, American officials said, in a signal that the United States will continue its assassination operations in the country despite the apparent takeover by Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... fighters. The strike took place in the central province of Marib, where a missile hit a vehicle carrying three men near the boundary with the province of Shabwa, which is believed to be a stronghold of Al Qaeda. The Central Intelligence Agency operates a drone base in southern Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , which borders Yemen. |

| #3 I was wondering when the spooks put their oar in the water, if rather than targeting enemies, they'd kill off our allies. Smaller group and all that, easier to wipe the slate clean. I assure you somebody in Langley has already thought about this. |

| #2 No time to waste, we're already picking sides, looking for those illusive moderates. |

| #1 But no strikes on the Houthi? Al Qaeda = Arab. Houthi = Shia = Iranian involved. Once Again ValJar gets her meat puppet Obama to do the Iranians bidding. Im beginning to believe the conspiracy theorists who have this guy as an Iranian/Shia Manchurian Candidate. |
