Yemen:

The Bushization Of the Obama Administration

It looks as if the same scenario, applied to Afghanistan, after 9/11, during the Bush era, is more or less, about to be applied to Yemen, by the Obama's administration, after 12\25. Once more again, U.S. war drummers seem to make history repeats itself, by reproducing more or less, the same incentives of past wars, for yet, a new potential war. This time, probably, in Yemen.

Although, President

Barak Obama, started his presidency at early, 2009, with a rhetoric of that of a leader, war mangles, since then have not left him alone. They have apparently, succeeded in receding the 'leader', in the President, by proceeding the 'military commander' in him, instead.

In February, the war mangles, began to yield fruits of their attempts. The President, under their strenuous pressures, had thrown 20, 000 extra troops, into the death row in Afghanistan. Yet, lately, the war mangles, have forced the President to commit 30,000 even extra more troops to join their country's fellows, stuck deeply, and painfully, in Afghanistan.

To the war mangles in the U.S., it doesn't seemingly, matter how many more U.S. personnel would die, get injured, maimed, and would commit suicide, out of war related factors. What matters to them, observably, has always been, since Vietnam, not to lose their reputation, as a super power giant military.

Latest intelligence defeat, apart from high toll of fatalities amongst U.S. personnel, and those of NATO's, reinforce exactly, the other side round. Al Qaeda, succeeded to plant Nidal Hassn, a U.S. psychiatrist, in the Texas largest military base, World-wade, who ultimately, shot dead 13 of his country's fellows, in December. With Allah's, Almighty God's forbiddance, he could've killed even far much more.

The incident, has been conceived as the most serious breach to U.S. intelligence, since 9\11. Additionally, the incident was viewed by many, as the second serious attack on U.S. soil by Al-Qaeda.

Bad as it is, came the incident of Detroit- bound aero plane, to add even more insult to injury. Though, some media reports suggest that, Abdulmutallab was setout by the CIA, in order to invent an incentive to invade Yemen, since the U.S. and its NATO's alliance have lost the war in Afghanistan. Albeit, such reports are not necessarily, groundless, certain precedence in the war on Afghanistan and Iraq, appear to strengthen such a hypothesis.

Until this very day, many argue that, 9\11 was a pretext to invade Afghanistan, in the same way, Saddam's WMD were fabricated in order to invade Iraq. Now, is Al Qaeda's alleged link to the U.S. bound passengers plane (12\25), is similar to Al Qaeda's alleged links to 9\11? Food for thought!
