Please.

Enlighten us.

Give us an example of someone who crowed that terrorism over there has been defeated.

A specific quote - one that actually matches what you claim above - would be great. A linked source, too. This shouldn't be too hard... if what you claim happened actually did happen.

Well?

Or were you just hoping no one would call you out on your false insinuation?

Default BREAKING NEWS..... ISIS and Al Qaeda competing who can kill Americans first in Yemen!!!

Americans are well advised to stay out of the middle east altogether.

It continually reveals itself as American-unfriendly.

Let then butcher one another as they've done for thousands of years. No need for any of us to join the mix.

“This counterterrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort,” Obama said, “using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground.”

“This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years,”


It's working.. ohh wait.

thats what they would be doing if we would just stay out of it. Isis was doing a great job of it and then America has to step in because military contractors donate to politicians. im a big fan of Isis, they are able to kill each other for a tiny fraction of what it costs american taxpayers to murder people thousands of miles away.

American drones kill 12 people on their way to a wedding. Do you really have to wonder why people in these countries might not like Americans too much? When you are flying over their space and raining missiles down on their heads they just get a little uppity EH????

In the past few years?

They've been like that since the early 70's!
