the movement does go on. contrast with gi toda gadhafi, him and the whole regime changes. it s not a defeat mechanism. when you say it s not a defeat mechanism and just a tactic not a military strategy, then what should they be doing. it leaves us without a national comprehensive strategy to feet al qaeda. i defy any to tell me what it is. i ve been waiting to hear what it is. we do not have one because it would require all the elements of national power and involve our allies as well. getting to a military strategy, we are trying to use the yemen ease to apply a military strategy using counte counter-insurgentsy and that is what was successful to defeat them in iraq. the problem is they re not very
good at it. we ve given them training assistance but they have not been able to adequately separate the people from the al qaeda. that s crucial conducting court insurgency. at best, we re at a draw in yemen despite all the years. you make a great point it s hard know how to perceive yemen. 29 suspected militants killed in yemen recently. it s hard to know if yemen is an ally in the war on terror or a safe haven for terrorists. they re both. the fact of the matter is they are helping us with the al qa a qaeda, it s only in their interests not to have an al qaeda sanctuary in yemen, which it is. this is the most effective al qaeda affiliate in the region. they have some operational depth. they have threatened the united states. they have some reach that other al qaeda units do not have.

written themselves out it because they know how it will manifest itself. yet we re promoting it for military. i think it s a disingenuous attempt like they ve been using celebrities and others to make the case for affordable it s a marketing ploy that doesn t deliver good care to veterans or their families. colonel north, in ten seconds, what is the answer then for the people who are uninsured? the answer was to go out and get insurance. if we hadn t made it so doggone expensive to do so, my policy has gone up, so have your premiums and all of us have. what they ve done is started to wreck the system. it s got to stop. bring that cost done. the affordable care act is showing it won t do that. thanks for bringing your concern and sharing it with us. great it talk to you both. as the obama administration sets up drone strikes against al qaeda and yemen, we ll talk to general jack keen about this particular terror threat and how
