Most Americans are probably unaware that over the past two weeks the US has launched at least eight drone attacks in Yemen, in which dozens have been killed. It is the largest US escalation of attacks on Yemen in more than a decade. The US claims that everyone killed was a "suspected militant," but Yemeni citizens have for a long time been outraged over the number of civilians killed in such strikes. The media has reported that of all those killed in these recent US strikes, only one of the dead was on the terrorist "most wanted" listnews 2013 pastor lindsey williams elite nwo new world order illuminati pencil paper financial collapse obama ron paul election united states america radio show usd gold silver bullion investment ww3 war iran earth ''control the world'' secret society bilderberg bohemian grove oil future trendy cancer intelligence government price food water mr from end of 2012 end of the dollar usd timeline book dvd oil pipeline china japan petro dollar england uk enemy iran sanctions europe eu oil for gold un united nations india crooks date predition vote ron paul qe3 euro derivities financial system war with iran, ww3, wwIII, china, pakistan, russia, alex jones, info wars, clinton, obama, ron paul, illuminati, bilderberg, group, elite, bankers, gold, silver, inflation, food prices, oil price, oil, petrol, food shortage, freemason, fema camp, fema, usa, britain, england, royal family, nwo, new world order, 2012, end of days, end of time, card game, david icke, prison planet, we are change, occupy, occupy wall st, middle east, london, olympics, truth, , martial law, vote ron paul, ron paul, In Washington, President Obama praised the cooperation of President Hadi in fighting the Yemen-based al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. This was just before the US Administration announced that a huge unspecified threat was forcing the closure of nearly two dozen embassies in the area, including in Yemen. According to the Administration, the embassy closings were prompted by an NSA-intercepted conference call at which some 20 al-Qaeda leaders discussed attacking the West. Many remain skeptical about this dramatic claim, which was made just as some in Congress were urging greater scrutiny of NSA domestic spying programs. "At the heart of the U.S.-Yemeni cooperation is a joint command center in Yemen, where officials from the two countries evaluate intelligence gathered by America and other allies, such as Saudi Arabia, say U.S. and Yemeni officials. There, they decide when and how to launch missile strikes against the highly secretive list of alleged al Qaeda operatives approved by the White House for targeted killing, these people say." Far from solving the problem of extremists in Yemen, however, this US presence in the country seems to be creating more extremism. According to professor Gregory Johnson of Princeton University, an expert on Yemen, the civilian "collateral damage" from US drone strikes on al-Qaeda members actually attracts more al-Qaeda recruits: The escalation of drone strikes in Yemen, presumably in response to the ongoing Al Qaeda threat, and other technology-based military options could fuel calls to re-write laws that govern such actions to give Congress greater oversight over the administration's remote-controlled warfare. "Some of these campaigns by the administration clearly constitute an act of war," said Jonathan Turley, an attorney and professor at George Washington University Law School.

"I paid a military security price every day as the commander of CentCom because the Americans were seen as biased in support of Israel, and that moderates all the moderate Arabs who want to be with us, because they can't come out publicly in support of people who don't show respect for the Arab Palestinians," he said Saturday at the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado in response to a question about the peace process. He called the current situation in Israel "unsustainable" and blamed the settlements for harming prospects for peace. The chances for an accord between Israel and the Palestinians, said Mattis, "are starting to ebb because the settlements and where they're at are going to make it impossible to maintain the two state solution."
