Scahill: US wages covert war in Yemen -BLACKWATER! RT (VIDEO) MUST WATCH!
Edited on Sun Apr-03-11 04:29 AM by indimuse
Violence in the Arab world continues to escalate, as thousands of protesters hit the streets of Yemen demanding President Ali Abdullah Saleh resigns. Why is the US in Libya and not Yemen? Jeremy Scahill, an investigative journalist & author of "Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army" said there is a consistent US policy of supporting dictators as long as they are doing the bidding of the United States.The US actively fights against al-Qaeda in Yemen, bombing various sites often killing many civilians with the permission of the Yemeni government.

5. I don't think the people in the US care

They are xenophobic and all the middle east countries are the same to them. Those people are dark-skinned, don't speak our language or eat our food or wear our clothes. They are heathens whose holy book like the bible should be allowed to be burned here in a show of hatred and ignorance. By an alleged holy man! That is now called free speech in the US. The US only cares about the US.


Hundreds wounded in Yemen protests

More than 600 injured as police use live rounds and tear gas to disperse anti-government demonstrations in city of Taiz.

"Hundreds of people have been injured in the Yemeni city of Taiz after police used tear gas to disperse pro-democracy protesters in the city's main square.

Medical officials said more than 600 people were wounded on Sunday in the square where a sit-in had been taking place as part of nationwide anti-government protests...

...The protest came a day after an opposition coalition called on Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh to hand over power to his deputy, Abdu Rabbo Mansour Hadi.

The coalition has released details of their initiative for a peaceful transition of power, according to Al Jazeera's sources..."

7. The silence is deafening
If there is a thread anywhere on DU covering the escalation of U.S. MIlitary activities to further U.S.-style democracy, it is hidden like the Obama administration's official policy.
