#1 How soon we forget. Until 1977, Yemen was divided into North and South regimes, with the South being run as a Marxist state. Once the northern islamists tossed the commies, many moved on to Afghanistan. Mid-conflict - against the Soviets - al-Qaeda set up in Peshawar, Pakistan, and was led by a paleo, Abdullah Azzam (al-Q falsely blames the CIA for his assassination) and ruled a largely Yemeni faction, led by Osama bin Laden (saud by birth only). While our own lefties color al-Q as a CIA Frankenstein, they were largely a globalist entity that didn't contribute much to the local conflict, other than as a laiasson between saud and UAE funders of the founding elements of Taleban/al-Qaeda. While recent events in Yemen largely resulted from social causes, al-Q has hijacked same. Obama's indulgence of neo-islamonazism in the muslim tyrannies, serves al-Qaeda's funding principle: to Guevarize islamonazis "bases" of "jihad." The terror group's full name is: "Al-Qaeda ut-Jihad" ("Base of Islamic-Terror").
