Suspected US Missile Kills 2 Militants in Yemen

SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Security and tribal officials say a suspected U.S. drone has fired a missile at a car in a southern Yemeni province, killing two brothers thought to be al-Qaida militants.

Yemen’s defense ministry says two al-Qaida suspects were killed in Shabwa province early Thursday. It didn’t say how they died.

Shabwa security and tribal officials reached by telephone told The Associated Press the two are brothers Abdullah and Mosaad Mubaarak. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the incident.

They didn’t say why they suspected it was a U.S. strike.

Yemen is home to one of the most active al-Qaida branches. The government‘s fight against the militants has been disrupted by months of mass street protests demanding President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s ouster.

    Why are we firing missles in the sovereign nation of Yemen without an official Congressional declaration of war – as is mandated by the U.S. Constitution?!?

    Keep firing boys, it is a target-rich environment in the Mideast and time to thin them out. Next item of business, kill Gaddafi Duck! Coulter says she want to see the Osama photo, I want to see the sequel made in Libya. It would save us billion to kill Gaddafi right now instead of dragging this “corrective action” out another 10 years. By the way, why hasn’t their been any news from Libya, Reagan neutered him in the 80′s and I think SEAL Team 6 neutered him again!!!

    “Unmanned Drones Causing Fear In Yemen”

    Great!

    To all people in the Middle East: If you want America to leave you alone, it’s very easy. Just find and turn in all Al-Qaida members. When they are all rounded up, you will have nothing to worry about from us.

    War, war, and more war.

    Whenever the globalists sense their power slipping or their fiat currency faltering, this is what we get.

    War, war and more war.

    Christ alive, I’m so sick of it.

      Right on! Remember President Eisenhower’s speech in 1961. “……we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. Added to this, three and a half million men and women are directly engaged in the defense establishment. We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United States corporations.
      This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence — economic, political, even spiritual — is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.
      In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the militaryindustrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.”
