The US provided firepower and intelligence to help the Yemeni government launch a series of deadly raids against suspected al-Qaeda bases in the country, the New York Times has reported.

Barack Obama, the US president approved the military and intelligence support after receiving a request from the Yemeni government, the newspaper reported late on Friday, citing officials familiar with the operations.

Those killed and arrested in Arhab "planned to strike at schools as well as interests at home and abroad," Yemen's interior ministry said on Thursday, without elaborating.

Residents of Abyan said that there was no al-Qaeda training camp in the area and that the raids had destroyed several homes.

Abbas al-Assal, a local human rights activist who was at the scene, said 64 people were killed, including 23 children and 17 women.

"The government wants to show the world that it is serious in pursuing al-Qaeda elements and that the south of Yemen is a refuge for al-Qaeda. That is not true at all," al-Assal told the Associated Press by telephone.

Ali Mohammed Mansour, gave similar casualty figures, and said that he helped bury the dead in a mass grave.

Obama the Nobel Peace Prize Winner, now just another who kills innocent children and woman. Guess all that talk about sitting down and working out differences kind of got thrown out the window.
 
I am pissed as hell about this stuff Meme and have about given up on Obama being who I hoped he was.

The sad thing is you cheered this type of shit under Bush.
 
obama has the blood of at least 17 children on his hands...what a perfect example of a nobel peace prize winner.....

the only thing real about obama, is that he is a real fake
 
He is not appearing to be what I had hoped but he sure cant compete with the disastor for the US that Bush was.

You supported the disastor because he had an R by his name , I voted for Obama and am willing to not support him when I see hes failing to live up to what should be the ideals of a great country.

We are owned by the corporations and I sstill have some hope we can win this country back but Im no longer sure Obama will be on my side when I need him.

he is worse than bush....

this thread has nothing to do with whether someone supported war and terrorists deaths because bush ordered them, rather, it is the blatent stupidity and hypocrisy of liberals who give obama a nobel peace prize while criticizing bush for doing virtually the same thing.....

last i checked, people who caused the deaths of innocents shouldn't get "peace" prizes.....the nobel prize is nothing but a joke

And yet you continuously make excuses for & refuse to lay responsibility on Bush for his actions.

That's very interesting.

:pke:
 
I'm impressed with the amount of gall the Yemen government has to outright lie to us about the presence of the al-Queda camp. They could have at least picked a target with nominal terrorist activity - after all, this is Yemen, one of the most radical countries on the planet.

Is this an acknowledgment of the dead or a rant about Obama? Because if you're acknowledging the dead, you can start with the 4700 coalition troops and countless Iraqis and Afghans who died under bush, instead of narrowing the focus to the last ten months.

Get a grip, yurtie. "Liberals" didn't give the prize to Obama. Five people voted and the final tally was 3-2.

So you don't have a problem with a President killing children, as long as he has a (D) after his party affiliation.

Your silence while Bush was doing the child killing shows you only care about Presidents killing children when the President has a D after his name.
