US Special Forces for Yemen - 2nd Term Blues

BBC News: Reports that the US is preparing to send in US Special Forces to take out the Al Qaeda threat in Yemen. 

Lets Get Real:

Finally the Oval is doing something right, drones are good, but sometimes you need boots on the ground, you have to take risks of body bags, to take out Al Qaeda you have to go after them from houses to caves.   The US has closed Embassies in North Africa and the Middle East, this looks like weakness, it gives the impression that Al Qaeda has the US on the back foot, it also makes the Oval and the US look weak, the Oval has been stating for years that Al Qaeda is finished, well folks it does not look like that, the core of Al Qaeda has moved from Afghanistan to Pakistan and Yemen, they have created a new franchise structure, one that is harder to take down with just drones, time for the US to move troops from Afghanistan to Yemen, time for the US to take the fight to Al Qaeda, the War on Terror will take decades folks, its not over because of a Oval speech.
