If there's one thing the Arab world loves, it's secret foreign military operations that help confirm their already strongly-held conspiracy theories.
U.S. Is Said to Expand Secret Military Acts in Mideast Region
Gems as they pertain to my summer:
"The authorized activities could strain relationships with friendly governments like Saudi Arabia or Yemen"
"Special Operations troops began working with Yemen’s military to try to dismantle Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, an affiliate of Osama bin Laden’s terror network based in Yemen. The Pentagon has also carried out missile strikes from Navy ships into suspected militant hideouts and plans to spend more than $155 million equipping Yemeni troops with armored vehicles, helicopters and small arms."
"Unlike covert actions undertaken by the C.I.A., such clandestine activity does not require the president’s approval or regular reports to Congress"
