Suspected US drone strikes have killed three alleged al-Qaida operatives in Yemen’s south-western Bayda province, security and tribal officials said, the first such killings reported in the country since Donald Trump assumed the presidency on Friday.

The two strikes on Saturday killed Abu Anis al-Abi, an area field commander, and two others, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release the information to journalists.

I am completely against islam. If there was a way to peacefully convert their masses I would be for that. Some people think they can do that. They are so wrong simply because islam DOESN'T WANT THAT. Those good people need to take a backseat and let the people who know how to handle the problem handle it.

I sure hope he didn't use that nasty 'politicized intelligence' to reach a determination on this.

Why, that'd make him a hypocrite.

But then, if he didn't... how'd he know they were al-Qaida?

And who can't wait for Trump's planned across-the-board budget cuts to kick in on this?  Why, so much salivating about it in many circles... without any thought of who *ALL* it might impact.

Yes, there are only two ways to control radical Islam.

1. Get other Muslims to control them.  They know who they are and can use their own methods for eradicating them, including some barbarism we in the West do not use.  The West has too hard a job in identifying them.

2. Use our overwhelming military superiority to blot them out from the face of the earth.  Since this will entail also killing massive amounts of non-combatants, the first way is the way Muslims should be looking at it.

Also, if the more moderate Muslims do not agree to doing 1, above, then they are the same as the radicals and should be considered being handled as 2.

Like they say. A moderate moslem is one that has run out of ammo.
