    "This counterterrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out [the Islamic State] wherever they exist, using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground. This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years."

    Three guesses who said it.

      Was it the same guy who said, "We'll be greeted as liberators"? [crosses fingers]

    Stop posting right wing propaganda. The war on terror in Yemen is a great success:

      maybe we should stop thinking about all of these sectarian tribal conflicts as something we can 'win'. Hell we still aren't really out of Iraq or Afghanistan. This is not a fault of the current administration, this is a flaw in our foreign policy that goes back decades.

      It's almost like our years of propping up dictators and then getting rid of them when they become too troublesome is bad for stability in the Middle East...

    That's a hell of a foreign policy we're rocking as of late.

      You mean being invited by the sovereign, host government to assist in the destruction of AQAP? Or are you talking about Iran's direct, subversive support of the Houthis in overthrowing the Sunni government? Really, which one better meets the definition of 'meddling?'

    Maybe the gang of 47 should send a letter to them, it seemed to work wonders on the Iranians.

      We don't need troops on the ground for drone strikes.

          Welp, there goes that. Anyone out there still think that the so-called "War on Terror" was not a Pandora's Box?
