#1 Shades of Clinton's approach to problems. Let them eat TLAM's.

#2 President Obama placed a call after the strikes to "congratulate" the President of Yemen, Ali Abdallah Salih, on his efforts against al Qaeda, according to White House officials.

No discussion regarding the phone call or negociations and pay-for-play with Ali Abdallah Salih prior to the strike, asking for permission. Only publicized was the obligatory congratulatory follow-up call. Note also the absence of the usual Mooslim outrage, bodies of exploded women and children, etc? Appears Ali Abdallah Salih is now qualified to be a Senator from Nebraska.

My sentiments exactly. Whodda' thunk he had the stones to not only order it, but publicly take credit for it? The whiners on the left will definitely have their knickers in a twist.
