-- "The overnight strike on the Ras Isa port sent massive fireballs billowing skyward and turned tanker trucks into burning wrecks. It was the first American attack on a Houthi-controlled oil facility since the U.S. began its new bombing campaign." --

“The U.S. and British militaries struck more than a dozen Houthi targets in Yemen on Friday, going after weapons systems, bases and other equipment belonging to the Iranian-backed rebels, U.S. officials confirmed. The strikes come just days after the Houthis threatened ‘escalating military operations.’”
The Bee nails it...
-- "'Okay, so we didn't wipe out the Jews and now they're going to retaliate,' Khamenei reportedly told high-ranking members of the Iranian government. 'But don't worry, I have a plan.'" --

Undiplomatic Relations

-- SANAA -- Ambassador Tim Torlot is safe, UK officials confirmed. One person - believed to be the attacker - was killed.

Western embassies in Yemen are no strangers to attacks. Militants used car bombs and rocket-propelled grenades in a co-ordinated assault on the US embassy last year.
But enough actual news... let's change the channel back to Ignatieff and company and their unwavering focus on "Canadian war criminals."

Yup... just your typical Canadian citizen.

Hope, change and... "gonna get medieval on yo ass"...
The US government has authorised operations to capture or kill the radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, currently based in Yemen, reports say.

The order was made by the Obama administration earlier this year, but it has just been revealed after a review of national security policy.
Looks like President McDreamy has figured out, he's gonna have to get his hands dirty after all.

Of course, it's one thing to add some crazy cleric to your hit list... but what is Obama gonna do about Iran's increasingly threatening nuclear stance?
Ahmadinejad said Obama "is under the pressure of capitalists and the Zionists" and vowed Iran would not be pushed around.

"American officials bigger than you, more bullying than you, couldn't do a damn thing, let alone you."
C'mon Barry... pony up.
