So when are we going to begin spending all our money nation building Yemen?

[dkf]

Inquiring minds want to know. I bet Yemen makes more sense than Afghanistan too. It's not hard to have more than 100 al queda after all.

Yes this is crazy and I doubt it will work but Obama is now captive to the Liebermans of the world. All our money down the drain. We will lose this empire the way all empires are lost by spending all our treasure in faraway wars.

We are so screwed.

3. Are you a fan of Lieberman? I don't even know what you are for or

against. And no, Obama is not captive to anyone, especially Lieberman. This is what Lieberman advocates, and it's twisted.

8. I'm against nation building Yemen

And you know that is the generic solution to terrorism nowadays. Build up a government to fight on our behalf. I get the formula thank you.

9. He is either a captive of Lieberman, Nelson, and Co or just likes lame policy himself

Are trying to argue that the right wing of the caucus isn't dominate and very much dictates what kind of legislation is possible?

10. we pre-emptively bombed Yemen before Lieberman said that

so in this case, Lieberman is advocating Obama's foreign policy. But it's only "twisted" when Lieberman talks about it. It was all right before Lieberman had to go shooting off his big mouth.

13. Pete Hoekstra, is that you?

Seems our help was asked for; we didn't just pick Yemen out of a hat. But keep spinning!

- The rest of the money leftover goes to Wall Street. Of course.

before they strike us. It's the Bush/Obama doctrine.

14. This President seems to be a proponent of the Bush Doctrine.

Yemen is a possible future threat.
