Obama’s War On Yemen

Besides waging direct or proxy wars on multiple fronts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, the Philippines, Sudan, Eastern Congo, elsewhere in Africa, and likely to erupt almost anywhere at any time, Yemen is now a new front in America’s “war on terror” under a president, who as a candidate, promised diplomacy, not conflict, if elected.
In 2008, he told the Boston Globe that:“The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.”
None exists, yet he’s done the opposite and much more. He:

– is encircling it and China with military bases, and proceeding with provocative plans to install interceptor missiles in Poland (for offense, not defense) and advanced tracking radar in the Czech Republic;

– authorized death squad assaults to pursue it, including extrajudicial assassinations, torture, and indiscriminate bombing of Afghan communities without regard for civilian lives;
– expanded the war into Pakistan and now to Yemen;

– failed to subvert Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s reelection; continues destabilization tactics for regime change; and may, preemptively without cause, attack Iran’s nuclear facilities;
– ousted the democratically elected Honduran president, installing a fascist regime to replace him;
– supports the worst of Israeli war crimes and oppression against Palestinians;
– governs America under police state laws to resist unrest if it arises in the wake of outlandish administration policies; and according to some
– plans a major false flag US attack to enlist popular support, divert attention from the deepening economic crisis, and provide a pretext for new fronts in the “war on terror” with unlimited funding to pursue them at the expense of neglected homeland need...
