Another in Obama's long line of LIES. I would bet the troops are already being lined up...ESPECIALLY SINCE YEMEN HAS A LOT OF OIL IN ITS SOUTHERN REGION.
Sun Jan 10, 5:27 pm ET
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama says he has no intention of sending American troops to Yemen or Somalia.
Obama told People magazine in an interview to be published Friday that he still believes the center of al-Qaida activity is along the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
"I never rule out any possibility in a world that is this complex," Obama said. However, he said, "in countries like Yemen, in countries like Somalia, I think working with international partners is most effective at this point."
Terrorism concerns are rising in Yemen, at the bottom of the Arabian peninsula, and in Somalia, critically located along key global shipping routes to Mideast oil fields. U.S. officials say they believe the suspect in the Detroit airliner attack received al-Qaida training in Yemen.
"I have no intention of sending U.S. boots on the ground in these regions," Obama said.
Gen. David Petraeus, who is overseeing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, said Yemen's foreign minister has made it "quite clear that Yemen does not want to have American ground troops there. And that's a ... good response for us to hear, certainly."
In an interview broadcast Sunday, Petraeus added: "We would always want a host nation to deal with a problem itself. We want to help. We're providing assistance."
And Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told CNN, "Right now, as far as any kind of boots on the ground there, with respect to the United States, ... that's not a possibility."
People magazine conducted its interview with Obama last Friday and released a transcript Sunday. Petraeus appeared on CNN's "Amanpour"; Mullen was on CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS."

It's been estimated that Yemen has around 3.5-4.5 billion barrels (25th most by country) of oil, of which it's feasible that only 40% will ever be collected. Hardly invasion worthy.
By comparison, it's estimated that Iraq has 112+ billion barrels and the USA has 22.5+ billion barrels of oil in reserve. Yemen doesn't compare. Please stop lying, gimmick. ::)

I don't think we'll send troops in. This whole thing scared the shit out of them. Saleh probably had visions of Saddam hanging dancing in his head. They'll get a big check and it'll be like working with Pakistan in the war on terror, a joke in more ways than one. Might see drones dropping bombs. I dunno...

I think they've brainwashed all the people and different groups that conduct the studies. The Illuminati has estimated that Yemen actually has 1.2 trillion barrels of oil. ::)

Don't go the opposite. Just because you hear some people with crazy CTs doesn't mean all CT's are without merit. Not talking about this thread at all, you just seem to have rage about it. Like Ozmo.
