| U.S. May Set up Naval Base in Yemen to Face Al-Qaeda Threat - Envoy |
| 2010-10-13 |
| [Yemen Post] The U.S. may build a naval base in Yemen to face Al-Qaeda, but for the time being, there is still a chance to tackle the terrorist threat before building the base, after Yemen realized early the threat, the U.S. ambassador said on Monday. At a press conference held at the headquarters of the Yemeni Journalist Syndicate, the newly-appointed envoy to the country Gerald Feierstein said the U.S. is committed to providing Yemen with financial and technical assistance and necessary equipment to face Al-Qaeda threat and secure its borders. The U.S. people and administration are deeply concerned over the situation in Yemen because of the threat from Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula AQAP and political and economic instability, he said. The U.S. rejects any dialog with senior Al-Qaeda leaders, however, there is no problem to talk with the newly-recruited members to help them get rid of bad boy thoughts, he added. The last remark came after he assured that his country strongly supports a comprehensive national dialog in Yemen and holding transparent and free parliamentary elections on time. We encourage the regime and the opposition to commit themselves to a successful dialog, and the U.S. supports all details about the elections based on the two sides approval, he told news hounds. In reply to a question on how the U.S. can separate between Al-Qaeda and the separatist movement, Al-Harak, the ambassador said Al-Qaeda is an bad boy group using Yemeni land to achieve its terrorist ends, while concerns remain about the second because of the people's interest and the importance of addressing all national disagreements through a comprehensive and encouraging dialog. The U.S.-Yemeni cooperation is good and very important, but the U.S. government realizes that boosting the bilateral security cooperation can't overcome the strong extremism, and it realizes all complicated challenges facing the country. Hence, the U.S. aims at long-term efforts to build a future full of hope and free from political disputes for the Yemeni people, he said. |

| #7 Maybe the same way they're being found in Pakland, and a bit of whatever it takes, just kill them, they can keep the rubble; no need to fight and hold the ground. Good int is a prerequisite. |

| #6 That's assuming that you can find them to blast them, Hellfish. How do you propose to do that? |

| #5 Pappy would you settle for killing them remotely? I don't want to spend any more American lives on these shit holes. Warn em. Blast em. Bounce the rubble. |

| #4 And the Red Sea (Suez canal) is far more strategic to Europe. Let them deal with the Yemen/Somali problem. |

| #3 Oman (which includes Muscat) shouldn't be classified with those other places. They the south shore of the Straits of Hormuz, and Iran is constantly trying to undermine the government (which is OK by Arab standards). Iran gaining control of both shores of Hormuz would certainly mean a shooting war. |

| #2 We need to stay away from Yemen, Sudan, Muscat, Oman, Somalia, etc. Uh, huh. And worry about the problem when it reaches Iowa? |
