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:

Someone tipped the militants off. SEALs intercepted communications 5 miles from the target and continued anyway. Fault goes on the ground commander of the operation.
