Obama Bombs Yemen Hours After Winning Reelection

Not even a full day had passed before newly reelected President Obama ordered another drone strike in Yemen. Huffington Post:

On Wednesday morning, as many Americans sifted through the voter data and exit poll numbers of President Barack Obama’s reelection the night before, the Twitter feeds of close watchers of Yemen lit up with reports of another sort of presidential event: an apparent U.S. drone strike had killed several individuals in that country.

There was no way of being certain if the strike was indeed American, or for that matter if it was a drone strike at all, although it had all the markings of one.

“All signs (after dark, suspicions of locals, target) point to Sanhan strike being a US drone,” Yemen-based freelance journalist Adam Baron wrote on Twitter.

Several other analysts concurred.

A White House spokesman did not respond to a request for comment. If it were a American strike, of course, it would have to have been authorized by Obama.

The drone war violates both domestic and international law, and the Obama administration’s vehement disdain for transparency in government is the only thing keeping it from public and legal scrutiny. Beyond the law, it’s terrorism.

'Gobama', all hail the great Obama. It's ok though that he bombs all these countries isn't it? I mean he's not from Texas and is a Democrat and dey wuv peace dun't dey cos dats wut dey sey at eluction tym? Oh and before anybody attempts to say it, yes bombing a country without expressed permission is an act of war.

Under a Bush presidency this happened.
Under this Obama presidency it's happening.
Under a Romney presidency this would of happened.
....under a Ron Paul presidency, it would have ceased.

Thoughts? i'd be most interested to hear what the 20 odd people who voted for another Obama term on this forum have to say.

All Hail Obama. More bombings of countries. Hooray! It's okay though, if Romney won it would be no different. :rolleyes:

The picture fits perfectly.

But really, we're the United States of America. What did you expect? We love blowing s* up.

If Romney won the election, Obama would still have carried this out, so the election has nothing at all to do with this, and if you read the article theres actually no proof of it being an American attack.

Thats the point I was making, that both are as awful was one another.

Oh yeah, it must be Kazakhstan with all those drones and Gulf military bases they have. Come on now, be real.
