The Caller Times headline this morning is "U.S.-bound terror plot thwarted". Yemen is claimed to be the source. Yemen Branch of Al-Qaida is claimed the culprit. YEMEN is a small country that backs up to Saudi Arabia. It has shoreline on the Sea of Aden and the Red Sea. It was at one of their ports the USS Cole was attacked, killing 17 seamen. One of them was from Rockport. It was from Yemen that a bomb plot came last Christmas toward a passenger plane headed for Detroit.
The country's motto is : GOD, COUNTRY, REVOLUTION, UNITY. Think on that. They are 99% Muslim of one sect or another. They have a population of 23 million. The capitol is Sana'a with more than a million people. It is one of the poorest countries in Arabia. It is the ancestral home of Osama bin Laden. Their birth rate is an AVERAGE of SIX children per mother! Scary!
It is estimated Yemen has 60 million plus guns. There is a civil war going on, as is usual. It is NOT a safe place to travel. There are 20,000 Yemenis living in the U.S., with most of them in Michigan. The language is Arabic. It is estimated their capitol, Sana'a, will be the first capitol to literally run out of water. What happens then? Our aid to Yemen this year is 63 million. Much of that is military assistance to train their troops against Al- Qaida. (Do you really think that is working?) Their capitol is 507 miles from the sacred site of Mecca.
So here is my report from another of our "friends" around the world. Beware, friends. Homeland Security is as porous as our borders. There will be another "incident" like the Twin Towers and Pentagon. We are at war and don't even know what the enemy looks like. Christians are also at war. Our enemy is Satan, but he disguises his intentions well. He will attack a church or family with no provocation. He is defeating and destroying lives across the land. Beware, friends.
