Yemeni regime makes life hard for its US sponsors as it murders more protesters



I read today that US unmanned drones, you know, the type of weapons of mass destruction that are operated by some 25 year old computer geek in Ames Iowa have killed another bunch of, guess who, yep you've got it, al Qaeda militants in Yemen.  Now the gangsters that rule Yemen are friends of the US government and the Obama administration so they don't get the same press as the Syrian regime that is not on the US list of favorite and cooperative dictators.

As the folks in Washington fire missiles on Yemeni turf, thousands of Yemeni's have protested the regime there calling for the removal of Ali Abdullah Saleh, a favorite son of the US.  Many Yemeni's have been murdered by the regime during these protests and today was no different. Troops fired on protesters killing at least sixteen according to reports.  US capitalism's ally, British imperialism the former colonial power now a tenth rate nation, introduced a resolution in the UN calling for Saleh to step down in return for complete immunity from prosecution.  Gaddafi is to be hunted and killed and brought to trial if he can't be killed outright, but Saleh would get complete immunity. It's good to have powerful friends in high places.

Iran is planning assassinations on US soil, Obama is sending troops in to Kenya and central Africa, al Qaeda is everywhere.  Something must be up. Oh yes, there are demonstrations in some 200 US communities against the banks, the politicians that own them and the rich in general. 

What's next?  al Qaeda killed Michael Jackson.
