Just Yemen?  Where is Rummy when we need him?

Just waitin’ for McCain to check in on Yemen now.

Yep, he needs to suspend his campaign to go deal with Yemen.

He’s checking in with his assistant, as soon as she can figure out a way to spell Sana’a phonetically so this douche can pronounce it, he’s so all over it!

If we don’t act preemptively, Yemen will be tomorrow’s war

OK, someone needs to walk me through this.

But now I’m confused ...

I thought Iran was the next war.

But Sarah can’t see Yemen from her window.

@Tom65, @karen—A translation: “If we don’t make Yemen today’s quagmire, it will be tomorrow’s quagmire.  And we already had a date with Iran for tomorrow.”

Sadly, I think we’ll have to get better at the whole “nation-building” schtick if we can’t accept a small amount of ongoing terrorism.  After all, there’s no shortage of failed states: Yemen, Somalia, Turkmenistan (?), ...

I’m disappointed with everyone here.

When our good friends the Saudi Royal Family and Yemen’s criminal military dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh call on us to aid their fight against the tribal rebels and socialist opposition groups who—for the sake of Evil Brand Recognition and as an aid to lazy reportage—have been arbitrarily designated “al-Qaeda,” the United States of America cannot turn its back.

If history has taught us nothing else, it has demonstrated time and again that nothing succeeds like running interference for unpopular despots upon whose crucial exports of Wahabbism, drugs, black-market weapons and untraceable counterfeit currency the Western world depends.

Psst—Lieberman? When we want your opinion, we’ll beat it out of you.
