Sa’ada? Its quite an effective massacre. Radio Free Europe:

YEMEN REPORTEDLY RECRUITING FORMER IRAQI MILITARY OFFICERS.

Yemen is actively recruiting former Iraqi military officers to join the Yemeni army, dpa reported on 24 March, citing Arab press reports. “Secret contacts are currently under way between Yemenis and officers in the dissolved Iraqi army with a view to convincing them to join the Yemeni army,” the news agency quotes a ranking Iraqi officer as telling London’s “Al-Sharq al-Awsat.” The newspaper reported that former military officers that served in the Ba’athist regime have lost all hope of joining the new Iraqi army.

AN: “Three Iraqi experts who teach at the air defense academy were among the five military personnel wounded in the attack, said a Yemeni official requesting anonymity.” What is the area of expertise, bombing civilian targets?

So, Yemen is aching for regime change now, is that what I’m reading here? Anyone out there with the cash, I got a rabid pack of Cub Scouts, we could get it done in, oh, a week or so.

Of course, we’d need to be compensated for taking the time out from our planned invasion of France, but that’s a 2 day job, at most.

Regime Change? Eric, you’re going to give the Yemeni officials a heart attack. They’re all going to need new chairs now. But seriously, you would think with all all the money they make running guns from China to Saudi Arabia, they would be ready to go retire on an island somewhere. The mark-up on an AK is like 200% Not to mention the drugs. There’s already a nice democratic machinery in place in Yemen. Its just not functioning at all because of the leadership in the GPC and Islah. Saleh wants to give the country to his boy. What a nice daddy.

You missed the sales of white flags to France. We musn’t forget that. That has to be a huge market over there.

BTW, Eric, France heard you were coming and have their white flags on back order so if you could hold of for a week they would be much obliged.

You see, if this had to go though the Yemen news you would never have known they were backed up. That would be bad information against the president and someone would be put in jail or killed.

That Saleh is such a wimp. Its against the law to criticize him. It makes him cry. So they’re making a new press law that falls under the penal code, so now it includes provisions for the execution of journalists.

It’s comments like those posted here regarding France that have turned me from a friend of America to someone who has got rid of all US stocks and shares and now considers the American public the largest collection of ill educated arrogant warmongers on the planet.

Keep it up folks you are hiding behind screens and posting idiot jingoistic comments on the internet that have done more damage to the US then Osama Bin Laden could ever have hoped for.

People like you are Americas worst enemy. Its unlikley the damage internet scriiblings like yours have caused will be healed in this generation and have possibly layed the seeds for war between the next.

Fools.
