NEW TERROR ATTACK – AT 9:27 A.M. ET: The war on terror is winding down. Field Marshal Obama says so, and who are we to question the field marshal's expertise? Oh, wait. Something has just happened. From BBC:
Suicide bombers have blown themselves up at two mosques in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, killing at least 46 people and wounding 100 others, medics say.
Worshippers were attending noon prayers at the Badr and al-Hashoosh mosques when at least three attackers struck.
TV footage showed bodies lying in pools of blood outside the mosques, as people rushed the wounded to hospital.
The mosques are used mainly by supporters of the Zaidi Shia-led Houthi rebel movement, which controls Sanaa.
There are severe tensions between the rebels and various powerful, armed elements in Yemen, including militants from al-Qaeda.
Witnesses said at least two suicide bombers attacked the Badr mosque, in the south of Sanaa.
COMMENT: Last year Mr Obama pointed to Yemen as an American success story – an ally that had defeated the bad guys. Today the bad guys are running all over the place, and Yemen is just another enemy state in the Mideast.
It must be Bibi's fault.
