Having been horribly stuck in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan for so long, the US is now preparing to take another military gamble when its own domestic situation is going from bad to worse. November 02, 2010 (Hamsayeh.Net) - Next in line of debilitated countries the United States feel comfortable to wage a war against is the poor old Yemen, located strategically close to the Horn of Africa a main artery for global commerce. The US President who is having a difficult time fighting losing wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan is now looking forward to expand the war into Yemen. Last week Western media were busily reporting yet another failed bombing attempt by an unknown terrorist organization. Two separate bomb packages were sent from Sana’a to a Synagogue in Chicago. This timely terrorist plot coinciding with midterm elections in US, provided an excellent opportunity for the ruling class in Washington to renew once again call for war on global terrorism. The Obama administration is now preparing to escalate drone attacks inside Yemen. Yesterday, Wall Street Journal reported that US is considering military options inside Yemen because of the alleged bombing plot, last week. ‘The White House is already considering adding armed CIA drones to the arsenal against militants in Yemen, mirroring the agency’s Pakistan campaign.’ WSJ reported. Having been horribly stuck in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan for so long, the US is now preparing to take another military gamble when its own domestic situation is going from bad to worse. Economically, history’s most indebted nation is in a morbid state, especially with a devastating 22 percent unemployment rate. In addition, US Federal Reserve is contemplating to print more dollars. and as a scare tactic on a host of smaller third-world countries to keep using dollar for their external trades, it must continually portray itself as a tough guy on the international scene. For this reason, Washington always strategically chooses smaller opponents that are easier to handle and then would try dragging the conflicts over time to achieve its dollar-based objectives.
