US-backed raid killed 49 Yemeni civilians, officials said
Following a military operation in Yemen targeting suspected al Qa'eda militants, a local official said on Sunday that 49 civilians, among them 23 children and 17 women, were killed in air strikes which he said were carried out "indiscriminately," Agence France Presse reported.
Earlier it had been reported by ABC News that on orders from the US President Barack Obama, the US military had launched cruise missiles in the attacks.
The National said that thousands of people took to the streets of southern Yemen on Saturday to denounce the military action and ensuing deaths of innocent civilians.
"According to local sources, about 3,000 people in Dhal'e province and hundreds in Lahj and Abyan provinces condemned the military operation. Angry protesters shouted anti-government slogans and demanded an investigation into the attack."
Why are you wingnuts posting stories about this from Al Jazeera, and “The National” – a United Emirates news organization?
If any lefties posted stories from Arabic news sources 12 months ago, you rightwing fucks would have laughed at the source and probably called the FBI to report said lefty as an radical Islamic, al Qaeda-sympathizer.
So my first question is, why are you now feeling compelled to post Arabic newspaper sources?
For fucks sake Pixie, I realize this is just trolling on your part, and that your rightwing masters have trained you to be on the look out for the dreaded lefty “hypocrisy”.
But listen up, Pixie: there was never any widespread lefty opposition to cruise missile strikes against suspected al Qaeda targets based on actionable intelligence.
Lefty anger was about invading and attacking people and countries that had nothing to do with 9/11.
There was never any widespread anger from lefties at bill Clinton’s cruise missile strikes on Sudan or Afghanistan, just like there was never any widespread lefty anger at bush for cruise missile strikes in Yemen, Somalia, or Pakistan. Get this through your head Pixie: lefties were outraged that bush lied us into Iraq. A country where al Qaeda was never active, a country where Saddam Hussein would have chopped of the head of any radical, al Qaeda-affiliated wahabist. YOU and BUSH spilled blood and committed effective genocide where none was warranted, merited, justified, or needed
Obama didn’t run on a peace platform. He campaigned on a platform to kill or capture al Qaeda by whatever means necessary. Did you really think Obama was some radical Muslim (without a fake birth certificate) in disguise? Of course you didn’t, it’s just your lame attempt at trolling.
As for me, I personally think the entire US military response to what amounted to a criminal act, by a group of thugs was folly. And immoral. And ineffective. But, I’ve never seen on a significant or widespread basis over the last 8 years, any real liberal objection to missile strikes on suspected al Qaeda targets. You just have to invent things, so you can troll for fake example of “lefty hypocrisy”. I just happen to probably be in the extreme Noam Chompsky-esqe minority that thinks all this military shit is just a ruse for other oily agendas..
Carry on with your trolling, Pixie.
Why are you wingnuts posting stories about this from Al Jazeera, and “The National” – a United Emirates news organization?
Nothing was posted from Al Jazeera.
"The National" is a United Emirates news organization... you have a problem with our allies in UAE? )
Wasn't it Clinton that relied on cruise missiles?
Oh yeah... hundreds and thousands were killed by indiscriminate bombings on innocent civilian populations... never a word was said... because Clinton was smart about it, like Obama is being... they just did it... didn't make any noise, didn't go to the UN, didn't consult our allies... they just started attacking sovereign nations with cruise missiles, killing untold thousands.
Bush's biggest mistake with Iraq AND Afghanistan, was even going to the UN or attempting diplomatic solutions at all... he should have just started obliterating them with cruise missiles daily!
Yes, that was his biggest mistake. 5,000 dead americans be damned, we're talking about POLITICS.
Good on you.
True colors.
Yep that's my opinion... Bush's problem was he was a pussy! He had to go run tattle to the UN and try to get them to do something... he spent months and months trying to convince Saddam Hussein to abide by international law, and the public perception became perverted in a hurry! He should have done like Clinton and Obama and just secretly, over the weekend, sent cruise missiles into Baghdad and killed whomever happened to get in the way.... THAT should have been how Bush handled it-- not with all the UN/diplomatic hoopla!
Glad to see you appreciate Clinton/Obama's foreign policy over Bush's. You have a weird way of showing it, but whatever. They're all idiots to me, and I wouldn't hang my hat on any of them.
I guess you'll hang your hat on all 3. Kudos TwoMouths.
Oh I don't appreciate their foreign policy, I do however respect the fact that stealthy covert secret ops is the best way to go, and what Bush should have done instead of how he did it. The same basic result could have been had eventually... maybe a few hundred thousand more innocents would have died, but if no one ever heard about it, and our news wasn't reporting it, who would care? Just like now... who cares? You see any outrage from the left on this? I don't... not a peep! Obviously it's because it's not plastered all over the TV everyday for 6 months, like Bush and Powell did with the UN kabooky dance.
A self contradiction in the first sentence, separated only by a standard American comma.
Really? Why the fuck do you pinheads keep saying that I am contradicting myself, when I say two entirely different things? Is it because you are pathetically stupid and unable to comprehend what I am saying, or do you get some kind of sick perverted kick out of being completely obtuse and watching me become frustrated with you?
All politicians are lairs, seems that Obama is no different.
Pixie, why did you cheer on cruise missle strikes when Dumbya was president, but you complain about them when obama is? Seems very hypocritical, don't you agree?.
