The poor boy who inadvertently set himself afire was just misunderstood by the world. He only wanted to be accepted and now we are calling him a terrorist. We should be sending condolences to the people of Yemen along with a few trillion borrowed dollars. Better yet, send them the gold in Ft Knox, we surely don't need it when we can get plenty of money from China. They are really fine peace loving people and we need to understand them. If the administration would just try to talk to the people in the middle east, we might be able to become bosom buddies.

damn this lack of back bone is very dominant in Nobama administration.

Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (12.30.09)
An American revenge attack without an armed target presenting an immediate and clear danger is a war crime according to Goldstone. It would be great to see Goldstone demanding that Nobel-Prize laureate Obama be tried for war crimes.
5. Prez sez Ft Hood,Detroit,etc are all isolated loners.

frank ,   israel   (12.30.09)
It looks like yeman is in for a discussion about whether they will get a stern talking to or not.....sounds pretty aggressive by obama standards to me. But thankfully he has to also answer to the UN and EU which means Yemen will be spared the sitting in a corner.....
7. the big ones.
Huw griffiths ,   Wales. UK.   (12.30.09)
Whatever happened to those parachute dropped US. gargatuan-blast bombs that were dropped at the Tora Bora caves and etc. ? Surely some more of these Earth's Crust crushers could solve the Yemeni terror camps where the depravity of these leading loony muslim psychopaths nurture future koranic nutcases.
8. Another Excuse to Kill, Occupy and Terrorize?
Dyke Vondale Davis ,   San Francisco, USA   (12.30.09)
It seems that since Vietnam, America and other western powers including Israel have been increasing their takeover in other countries. First it was Communism, then it was Radical Islam and the Al Quada Network. This is mixed in with bring Domocracy and Freedom to the world. But, underneath is the foundation of economic colonialism and liberialism through the barrel of a gun, sanctions, then warfare. Creating enemies mere for the justification to invade and occupy others resources and creating economic dependency on the worthless dollar and all of its inherent criminality. We, are not what God (if there is one) intended...
9. Smarter than Bush
Coop ,   Cleveland   (12.30.09)
Obama is wise enough to know that 'under-the-radar' retaliation is more effective than his predecessor's "up the middle" football approach. He is best served by making his point without making a splash, which flames the Arab Street and recruits more terrorists. Osama played Bush/Cheney like a drum, knowing their overt reaction would trigger recruitment for the New Islamic Crusade. And they were 100% successful. I don't think Barrack will make the same mistake.
10. Planning Attacks in Yemen
Dyke Vondale Davis ,   Sab Francisco, USA   (12.30.09)
Our military is broken after 8-years of unconventional warfare and doing it on the cheap. It is an accident waiting to happen with a more massive attack on American forces overseas with little preparation for the attending destruction. The elites of both parties in America and Europe are counting on our youth to prompt up a failed system of material wealth and power consolidation over the rest of the world. This fallacy of colonial-master race and military superiority is draining the very economic fabric of our own survival-leaving Americans as much victims as the ones we are killing with the aid of Israel and other socalled "pro-western" regimes. With every US bombing in the Middle East or each Arab, Muslim, Lebonnes, Palestinian, Afganistan, Yeminese, Iraqi, Pakanstini, Somali we are creating 100 more soldiers for the battle against our continued existence in their lands. We, cannot continue to hide behind our great distance from these killing grounds much longer and will one day tip the scale to a point where warfare will move more closer home. We, must rethink our actions in other countries or suffer endless war and revenge.

How twisted can you get???
12. Airplain Terrorist and His Actions
Dyke Vondale Davis ,   San Francisco, Calif   (12.30.09)
It is easy to sit back thousands of miles away being an airchair general declaring rightousness in taking armed actions that will kill countless people we know nothing about. Smoke a Joint and sip the brew, while passing judgement on other people and their right to their version of freedom and justice. This is done, so we can claim to be the moral light of modern civilization, when we really know our deadly history in the world and until recently have not paid the pipper for our recent astrosities in the Middle East and even to our own American population. Yet, instead of taking any major responsibility for any our own bloody history-we Americans stagger from one astrosity to another listening to the elite few profiteers without stepping back and doing the research on how we have been involved in our own internal and external genocide. With a world becoming increasingly radicalized in all forms of religousness and political extremism, with weapons becoming more and more deadly. I think it is time we start looking for another type of world leadership. The current generation seems lazy, mutanted and seeking instant gratification in a world that nolonger exist, which is facing environmental calamity at any time in the near future. I HAVE THE ENEMY...and the enemy is me!!!

Jason ,   USA   (12.30.09)
tremist attacks in the last 6 months? One of which killed 13 of our finest military, and wonded 39? Didn't see that happen on Bush's watch after 9/11 did ya? Any body with one eye and half a brain can figure out that when it comes to protecting America and dealing with our 'man made disastourous' friends, Nobaama has not got a clue what to do. Perhaps you should take him and his staff to the store to buy him one! While you are there, by one for yourself. He's a damn muslim himself. A-jad,OSL,mullah omar,this nut job leader in Yemen,Assad in Syria, etc... all have very loathing things to say about this fool that's occupying the People's House. By the way, Obuslim himself admitted that his admin. made plenty mistakes on this plane bomber. To bad you can't admit that to yourself. I know, you're still stuck on stupid aren't you?
