Trump owns it.
Questions are:
When does it end? Who is held accountable when it goes south? How many killed? Is it necessary?

I'm very optimistic about the level of attention wars with Muslim nations that have been going on for 13 years are finally getting the attention it deserves. I was beginning to think myself and a few others on here only cared about the death and destruction brought on by wars.

Has the negligence/incompetence reached the point of Impeachment yet and will the Congress do the right thing when it's clearly called necessary? As in, country first?

I hate posting here, but the facts (not alternative) are these: Yes, the US has been involved in Yemen for a while now, including during President Obama's terms. He did not, however, start operations in Yemen. His CENTCOM team did, however, start surveillance for this particular operation. But they held off any offensive because it was deemed too risky at the time of his exit from the White House because in their expert opinion, more surveillance and intelligence-gathering would be necessary before they could lead a successful strike against this particular AQAP cell.polaris_x said:

the fact is the US has bombed Yemen as well as launch drone attacks ... the bombings by Saudi forces are tied to the US as well ...dankind said:
I hate posting here, but the facts (not alternative) are these: Yes, the US has been involved in Yemen for a while now, including during President Obama's terms. He did not, however, start operations in Yemen. His CENTCOM team did, however, start surveillance for this particular operation. But they held off any offensive because it was deemed too risky at the time of his exit from the White House because in their expert opinion, more surveillance and intelligence-gathering would be necessary before they could lead a successful strike against this particular AQAP cell.polaris_x said:
not sure why that is relevant ...Halifax2TheMax said:
Obama is no longer Commander in Chief.polaris_x said:
this was started by Obama ... the US has been involved in Yemen for a while now ...Halifax2TheMax said:Trump owns it.
Questions are:
When does it end? Who is held accountable when it goes south? How many killed? Is it necessary?

It's relevant that Obama is no longer Commander in Chief because his team advised him against a strike just a little more than two weeks ago whereas Trump's reportedly signed off on one. And no new surveillance or intelligence-gathering was implemented during this time.
