Today the ACLU and the Center for Constitutional Rights filed a Freedom of Information Act request seeking information about a horrific U.S. missile strike that killed dozens of civilians in Yemen. This was the Obama administration’s first known missile strike in Yemen, carried out with one or more cruise missiles launched from an American warship or submarine on December 17, 2009. The U.S. military reportedly used cluster bombs, killing at least 41 people in the remote mountain village of al-Majalah in Yemen’s Abyan province. The government was purportedly targeting “militants,” but those killed include at least 21 children and 14 women. Entire families were wiped out. It is the worst reported loss of civilian life from a U.S. targeted killing strike in Yemen to date. …The U.S. asserts the right to use lethal force against suspected terrorists anywhere in the world, a claim that is legally questionable and deeply controversial, not least because killings far from any battlefield increase the risk that innocent civilians will die. Government officials repeatedly minimize or deny civilian deaths caused by the targeted killing program, but increasing reports of civilian casualties caused by strikes in Yemen, Pakistan, and elsewhere raise serious questions about whether the government is violating international and domestic law by failing to distinguish between civilians and combatants, and by using lethal force away from active battlefields.

Calling Ron Paul an isolationist is like calling your neighbor a hermit because he doesn't come over and break your window - unknown Jesus said, "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do. Evangelical Fundinuts say, "kill them all who will not bow down to the Zionist Jew." - F.A. Hayek Fan
F, from multiple sources I believe that the US has been waging a covert war in Yemen and have inflicted over two hundred drone strikes, which the Yemeni government, believe it or nor, maintains the fiction that the strikes are from them.
This insanity is absolute proof that the Obama administration has become a rogue administration. ;)

It is beyond question that the US is doing this.

And now that they have retired the Space Shuttle, we must rely on Soyuz for trips to and from the space station. "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Come man, get with the program! Murdering women and children living in the 12th century in far away countries and paying the interest on the every increasing debt is much more important than the space program!

CORRECTION! The jews who control the Republican and Democrat parties have turned the US into a rogue nation.
Good to see you got the MIC memo. and amounts to genocide that if congress refuses to do its duty to prohibit the people must. Stop funding terrorism ... Cindy Sheehan has publicly refused to finance murder and in so doing has earned my complete respect ! "APRIL 15th is really APRIL FOOL'S DAY"
Sorry, my mistake. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
No foolin'. I quit filing those 1040's long ago. The question remains if the bums will ever catch up with me. I doubt it. Been too busy running cross country to let them have a chance at it. "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Moving target is more difficult to hit. By the way, you never owed it. "APRIL 15th is really APRIL FOOL'S DAY"
Filing a 1040 is a VOLUNTARY action. There is NO LAW which say you must file. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
