#1 The fact that half the Yemeni population appears to have been involved in at least some capacity in the Cole bombing may also have been a factor in postponing the trial.

How about we let the Yemeni handle the Saudi kooks, at least the Yemenis seem to understand the concept of "surround".

#5 Um, WTF? Besides hot dirt, smelly tribesmen and a place to refuel ships does Yemen have? What is in Yemen that the US need, wants or has to have? How about zero.

#7 I dunno, why did Gamal Nasser spend half a decade trying to conquer it? He must have had some reason to get tens of thousands of Egyptian conscripts killed, and the Yemeni poison-gassed. I mean, other than fighting a proxy war against the Saudis.

Oh, hey - drugs! I already have a slogan ready for the oh-so-dearly-wished-for American intervention - "No Blood For Qat!"
