Al-Qaida cleric: Yemen to be Obama's Afghanistan
None
A US-born, al-Qaida-linked cleric warned the American people that President Barack Obama will mire US forces in Yemen just as Afghanistan, in a message appearing Monday on militant websites.
The 13-minute audio message, in English, comes just days after the US Treasury department put Anwar al-Awlaki on its list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists. "If George W. Bush is remembered as being the president who got America stuck in Afghanistan and Iraq, it's looking like Obama wants to be remembered as the president who got America stuck in Yemen," he said.
