U.S. Is Intensifying a Secret Campaign of Yemen Airstrikes

U.S. Is Intensifying a Secret Campaign of Yemen Airstrikes - NYTimes.com

What????? Another war???????  There's been word that the United States is intensifying a secret campaign of airstrikes against Yemen.  I thought President Obama didn't believe that the United States should be fighting wars in the Middle East.  When then Senator Barack Obama was campaigning for president in 2008, he stated he was going to withdraw our troops from both Iraq and Afghanistan.  In the last 2.5 years, the United States is still in both Iraq and Afghanistan.  We've added two other wars since which are Libya and now Yemen.  The President said we would only be in Libya for days.  Now we've been in Libya for almost two months.  Nowe we're supposedly fighting Al-Qaeda in Yemen.  When's it going to stop?  WE can't remove every potentate in the Middle East.  All this uproar in the Middle East will eventually result in the establishment of a Muslim Caliphate in the Middle East. 

One more question: Where are all the anti-war protesters?  Where are all the protesters who protested so vehemently when President George W. Bush decided to make the decision to invade Iraq?  I'm not asking this to defend former president George W. Bush.  I didn't agree with Bush's Iraq war policies.  However, President Obama has continued Bush's policies of fighting wars in the Middle East.  Is it because of who's in the White House now?  It makes me believe those who protested the war against Iraq when Bush was president didn't have so much to do with the morality of invading Iraq as it did with who was the Commander-in-chief at the time.  To her credit, Cindy Sheehan has continued protesting the wars.  I believe her motives for protesting the war in Iraq was because she was opposed to U.S. involvement in Iraq as well as the fact her son, Casey Sheehan, was murdered fighting in Iraq.  President Obama has taken the wars to a different level by adding Libya and now Yemen.  What will be next?
