Thread: Yemen reports first drone strike under Trump

    Yemen reports first drone strike under Trump

    Suspected US drone strikes kill three al-Qaida suspects in Yemen, officials say

    Suspected US drone strikes have killed three alleged al-Qaida operatives in Yemen’s south-western Bayda province, security and tribal officials said, the first such killings reported in the country since Donald Trump assumed the presidency on Friday.

    The two strikes on Saturday killed Abu Anis al-Abi, an area field commander, and two others, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release the information to journalists.

    The use of unmanned aircraft as well as airstrikes in Yemen, the Arab world’s poorest country, rose dramatically under President Obama, with data from the Britain-based Bureau of Investigative Journalism showing spikes in attacks, especially in 2012 and 2016.

    On Thursday, US intelligence officials said as many as 117 civilians had been killed in drone and other counter-terror attacks in Pakistan, Yemen and elsewhere during Obama’s presidency. It was the second public assessment issued in response to mounting pressure for more information about lethal US operations overseas.

    Human rights and other groups have criticized the Obama administration, saying it has undercounted civilian casualties. They also worry President Trump will more aggressively conduct drone strikes, which are subject to little oversight from Congress or the judiciary.

    In the years since the drone program began, Yemen has fallen ever deeper into chaos. A two-year civil war began after Shia Houthi rebels seized the capital Sana’a and forced the president, Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, to flee the country. In March 2015 a Saudi-led military coalition launched an extensive air campaign aimed at restoring Hadi’s government.

    As long as Trump holds true to his campaign promise of killing every terrorist and their families, we will win this war on terror in no time!
    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    Yes, but your reason is totally different than TheCount. He is not a "Supporting Member" as he claims.

    Be nice to see an EO halting all further strikes until Trump's team is in place, at the very least.

    Better pack a lunch waiting for that one.
    Brawndo's got what plants crave. Its got electrolytes.



    H. L. Mencken said it best:


    “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”


    "As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

    “I don’t think that there will be any curtailing of Donald Trump as president,” he said. "He controls the media, he controls the sentiment [and] he controls everybody. He’s the one who will resort to executive orders more so than [President] Obama ever used them." - Ron Paul
