Here’s some pee on your holiday news:
A U.S.-born radical cleric is alive and well following reports he may have been killed in a Yemeni airstrike against suspected al-Qaida hideouts, friends and relatives said Friday.
The government said it targeted a meeting of high-level al-Qaida operatives in Thursday's airstrike in the remote Shabwa region. It claimed at least 30 militants were killed, possibly including Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical cleric who has been linked to the shooter in last month's attack at the Fort Hood military base in the U.S.
On Friday, a friend of the cleric, Abu Bakr al-Awlaki, told The Associated Press he was not among those killed. He refused to say if the cleric was attending the meeting.

Yeah, I was quite thrilled to hear this news. Guess they were wrong. Ah well, try again later, I suppose.
How long before the left starts using this as a Meme to say that we should just pull out and forget about getting these guys?
❓ Pull out of where? Yemen? The US hasn’t even invaded the place.
I was referring to the Afgan, Iraq conflicts.
