Wag the dog?

Okay so now we're engaged in six (6) countries??

WTF is the President doing?

Where is the outcry from the Main Street media?  What if this had been done by George W. Bush?

Is he trying to deflect the economic bad news?


U.S. drone targets two leaders of Somali group allied with al-Qaeda, official says

A U.S. drone aircraft fired on two leaders of a militant Somali organization tied to al-Qaeda, apparently wounding them, a senior U.S. military official familiar with the operation said Wednesday.

The strike last week against senior members of al-Shabab comes amid growing concern within the U.S. government that some leaders of the Islamist group are collaborating more closely with al-Qaeda to strike targets beyond Somalia, the military official said.
