So if we need to invade and rebuild Iraq and Afghanistan to keep America safe, and the new bombs are coming out of Yemen, then perhaps we should simply saddle up our ships and send the Marines to Yemen?
NW Republican: Time to invade Yemen!
Oh the joys of having the GOP back in power.....
Sure. Invade the non-aggressive nation of Yemen in the futile hope of finding and disposing of the few jihadist fanatics who are prone to attacking us. But who will that piss off? Fanatics in Libya? The UAE? Saudi Arabia (where fifteen of the 9/11 19 were from)? Indonesia?So if we need to invade and rebuild Iraq and Afghanistan to keep America safe, and the new bombs are coming out of Yemen, then perhaps we should simply saddle up our ships and send the Marines to Yemen?

Conscript units apparently did okay in WW-II.No enlisted unit wants a draftee unit behind them or with them.
How come you do not know that?
During the Carter presidency the military attempted a stealth incursion into Iran to free the hostages being held there? Do you remember what happened?We should to to Yemen and Pakistan exactly what we should have done to Afghanistan and Iraq. Let large highly skilled and well-trained CIA teams take out the individual cells one by one. The cost of large-scaled invasions isn't worth it and we have to find a more innovative and smart way of taking out our enemies. We can't keep occupying nations, it's to much damn money.

Did you see the movie, Blackhawk Down?
These operations don't always work out the way they're intended to.
I didn't suggest that we are.We are not fighting the government of these countries.
I agree.There are individuals within the country which are causing the problems.
I didn't suggest that we do.There is absolutely no reason to invade an entire country for this.

The point I tried to make, forgive me if I failed, is that stealth operations, large or small, don't always work out the way they do in the Chuck Norris and Steven Seagal movies. Keep in mind the fact that it's been ten years and we've been unable to capture or kill a 6'4" Arab who needs frequent kidney dialysis treatments and on whose head we have placed a million dollar price.

I worked with a man who was a Muslim, and whose family still lived there. His opinion was that Bin Ladin was living with his family in Saudi Arabia, for the very reason that he needed dialysis. Since the bush famly had ties with the Bin Ladin family, it was very unlikely that they would demand that they turn him over.
I think if the US really doesn't know where he is, which I suspect is not true, then we need to pour more money into our CIA and DIA groups and find him and anyone else associated with these terrorist activities. We shouldn't be destroying the lives of innocent men, women and children to do this.
I hadn't heard that before but it sounds right to me.I worked with a man who was a Muslim, and whose family still lived there.

U.S. intensifying covert war in Yemen: report - Yahoo! News
WASHINGTON (Reuters) The Obama administration has intensified air strikes on suspected militants in Yemen in a bid to keep them from consolidating power as the government in Sanaa teeters, The New York Times reported on Wednesday.
A U.S. official confirmed to Reuters that a U.S. strike last Friday killed Abu Ali al-Harithi, a midlevel al Qaeda operative, which followed last month's attempted strike against Anwar al-Awlaki, the leader of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

Why don't we just invade everybody and get it over with?![]()
Without the draft, we simply do not have the resources, and you KNOW the GOP will never support a reimplementation of the draft. They might have to actually go and do some fighting for a change.
