U.S. Is Intensifying a Secret Campaign of Yemen Airstrikes

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has intensified the American covert war in Yemen, exploiting a growing power vacuum in the country to strike at militant suspects with armed drones and fighter jets, according to American officials.

The acceleration of the American campaign in recent weeks comes amid a violent conflict in Yemen that has left the government in Sana, a United States ally, struggling to cling to power. Yemeni troops that had been battling militants linked to Al Qaeda in the south have been pulled back to the capital, and American officials see the strikes as one of the few options to keep the militants from consolidating power.

On Friday, American jets killed Abu Ali al-Harithi, a midlevel Qaeda operative, and several other militant suspects in a strike in southern Yemen. According to witnesses, four civilians were also killed in the airstrike. Weeks earlier, drone aircraft fired missiles aimed at Anwar al-Awlaki, the radical American-born cleric who the United States government has tried to kill for more than a year. Mr. Awlaki survived.

Six, if you count the drug wars.
Seven, if you count the war on our private property.
Eight, if you count the war on our money and savings.

I'm far more afraid of our own police than of any third-world Middle Eastern tribal warlords.

Nice vid! Thanks for posting. It seems like we're finding more politically conscious rappers everytime we turn around. And how about this line?

Yeah, first black president, win, lose or draw ****
Haha, matter of fact, you know what it is man
Shouts out to Jackie Robinson, Booker T, Washington homie
Oh you ain't think I knew that ****?

Jackie Robinson was a republican. And Booker T. Washington was something of a libertarian.

Nine, if you count the war against freedom.

"“As we have repeatedly said, we will continue to pursue terrorist activities and their operations wherever we may find them,” Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said in Washington."

The whole world is a battle field.

It's sad that in an attempt to keep ourselves sane, we have to resort to counting all the wars only to find that a DOZEN is an insufficient number.
