#2 time for them to gain a little napalm, if you ask me.

#3 In some ways it would be beneficial to us if AQAP was to grow - by attracting recruits from Af-Pak, or who would otherwise go to Af-Pak, because the logistics of our operating in Yemen are simplified. The ONLY advantage A'stan has is that we are allowed land bases there.

#4 Given Yemen's geographic location, fighting there is logistically much simpler. We can pull our carriers and assault ships hard up against the territorial waters and launch all sorts of hardware and "rough men ready to do violence" on the Yemeni twerps and nut jobs.

I think all of these jihadis are deranged. Serious issues. The math of it is frightening, given that there are over 2 billion moslems, and given the statistical average of 1 to 2 percent of a population having serious Psychosis, that means we have about 40,000,000 seriously nuts, not counting the antisocial, borderline and DID's out there.
I think we should make it policy to carpet bomb any place that has a wahabi maddrassah
