The Hill reports:
"Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) Sunday said that Yemen could be the ground of America's next overseas war if Washington does not take preemptive action to root out al-Qaeda interests there.A pre-emptive war? Based on some sort of links (I'm not sure of the details) between al Qaeda and a Mid-East nation? Joe Lieberman chomping at the bit to bomb a nation?"Lieberman, who helms the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said on 'Fox News Sunday' that the U.S. will have to take an active approach in Yemen after multiple recent terrorist attacks on the U.S. were linked back to the Middle Eastern nation.
"The Connecticut senator said that an administration official told him that 'Iraq was yesterday's war, Afghanistan is today's war. If we don't act preemptively, Yemen will be tomorrow's war.'"
Admittedly, I have not been focusing on political details lately, but doesn't all this ring familiar?
ABC News has an article about the plot to blow up an airplane over Detroit, and Memeorandum has commentary.
