Subscribe to RSSA suicide bomber blew himself up at a military parade rehearsal in Yemen's capital, killing more than 90 soldiers. Msnbc.com's Dara Brown reports.
Updated at 12:20 p.m. ET: SANAA, Yemen - A suicide bomber with explosives strapped under his uniform killed more than 90 people at a military parade rehearsal in the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Monday, an attack which will alarm Washington as its involvement in the front-line state deepens.
The bombing also wounded about 200 people, officials said, making it the bloodiest single incident in the city in recent years.
An al-Qaida source told the BBC that one of its own had carried out the attack.
Yemen's defense minister and chief of staff were both present at the rehearsal for Tuesday's National Day parade but neither was hurt. A police source said he could not rule out the bombing was an attempt to assassinate them.
Weakened by an uprising that eventually toppled former leader Ali Abdullah Saleh, Yemen's government has lost control over whole swathes of the country, allowing militants to overrun several towns in the southern province of Abyan.
The attack, along with an ambush on Sunday on a U.S. military training team in the south of the country, indicated their campaign could be entering a dangerous new stage. Troops closed in on a militant strongholds on Sunday in heavy fighting.
More than 30 Yemeni troops killed in militant attack
A U.S. military instructor was seriously wounded in Sunday's ambush, which was claimed by militant group Ansar al-Sharia (Partisans of Islamic Law), which is affiliated to al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
The United States sees Yemen as a vital front in its global war on Islamic militants and is increasing its military support for the government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
Carnage
The explosion in Sanaa's Sabaeen Square left scenes of carnage, with bloodied victims and body parts strewn across the 10-lane road where the rehearsal was held on Monday morning, not far from the presidential palace.
The defense ministry said at least 90 soldiers were killed and 222 wounded.

Police collect evidence after a suicide bombing at a parade ground in Sanaa, Yemen, on Monday.
"We had just finished the parade. We were saluting our commander when a huge explosion went off," said soldier Amr Habib. "It was a gruesome attack. Many soldiers were killed and others had their arms and legs blown off."

Another soldier told the Associated Press: "This is a real massacre. There are piles of torn body parts, limbs and heads. This is unbelievable."
One investigator said preliminary findings suggested the suicide bomber was a rogue soldier rather than a man in a disguise.
"The suicide bomber was dressed in a military uniform. He had a belt of explosives underneath," said a man who identified himself as Colonel Amin al-Alghabati, his hands and uniform flecked with blood.
The usual security procedure for such an event would involve checks being made on the soldiers at their bases before they are transported to the site of the parade in army vehicles.
The wounded were ferried to hospital in taxis.
Hospitals overwhelmed
"Most of the injuries are to the head, we have dozens paralyzed. We expect the death toll to rise. Most of the injured here are boys in their teens. Sanaa's hospitals are overwhelmed," said doctor Mohsen al-Dhahari.
In response to days of violence, Hadi fired two senior commanders and allies of his predecessor Saleh, who he replaced in February.
One of them, Yahya Saleh, the former president's nephew, was the head of national security, an intelligence gathering unit that works closely with the CIA. Most of those hurt were from this unit, the BBC reported.

Yemen has seen a spate of deadly attacks since Hadi took office saying he would extinguish an Islamist insurgency, which until now has been concentrated in the south.
The parade was scheduled for Tuesday to mark the unification of north and south Yemen, previously separate states, which were merged in 1990.

Oh my its raining Muslims today in Yemen!! Look at them go with that there religion of peace, guys. Tell me. Who is dumb enough to go practice military facing manuevers in the unsecured and unprotected streets of Yemen, are you that dumb to be standing out there with all that soldiery, its kind of sticking a sign on your back which says, "BLOW ME UP!!", but, hey, when you play like a stagosaurus these things happen, but they sure are God awful dunb. I wouldn't go practice goose stepping with them, nuts to that, I'm just grateful to be from a real country like the U S, we should take their countries and governments away from the entire stupid wasted lot, they are not fit nor sensible to rule.
Another American wanna be Puppet, please tell me we do not send "aid" to this $hithole.........
Yemen has "good" Islamic militants: al-Qaida. So they are doing right thing.
al-Qaida should blow up the Presidential Palace instead of these small "love" and "peace" acts.
What would you expect from the religion of peace?
I think I'll go along and get started with my day. I don't care if these sand-n*ggers want to blow themselves up as long as they keep it on their side of the world.
"Nuts" to goosestepping with them, but you're right in step with our government's lies. Keep drinking the kool aid, logo.
Actually this may be a good, albeit tragic thing. This attack has increased the outrage against the terrorists in the area. Since they dont have us to do the fighting they will have to stand up for theirselves and fight their own war.
And that is our greatest result of the last 10 years, that we are so tired of this silliness that we just stand back and let the Middle East destroy itself.
What should we do MUGTECH? Send in the troops and get into a pointless conflict with a nation full of people that do not understand what "country" means? I spent 2 years of my life in that miserable place and they are all the same. While I dont fault the people, it's not in their way to be a country. They are more loyal to clans and tribes than to the country. Nationalism is not a word they understand there. If you have any bright ideas please let us in on the secret, but I for one am tired of us sending money and assistance into the black hole that is the middle east.
According to our dear leader we are "winning the war or terror."
Seems to me, MORE attacks have occurred since the killing of bin laden, than before.
Logoslogic~ I find it rather ironic that you are call those in Yemen "God awful dunb" while you can't spell dumb correctly. Just a friendly point to use spell check.
logoslogic:
That is a really ignorant thing to say. They were having a parade and someone blew himself up and took a lot of people with him. Instead of blaming the religion, how about blaming the person who did it? The religious book didn't blow people up, it's an individual's interpretation of the book that caused the tragedy.
The Bible didn't blow people up, it was Eric Rudolph and Tim McVeigh who interpreted the bible the wrong way that caused the loss of life. The Bible isn't causing the child soldier situation in the DRC, it's Joseph Kony's interpretation of it that is causing the tragedy.
It's what you do that matters, not whose name you do it in.
Funny how the world does nothing. The great leaders who criticize the US for protecting themselves let this happen. By doing nothing.
I was not being sarcastic, Ben, just saying we have learned in 10 years to stay out of the Middle East insanity. Hopefully we will act accordingly and not have a dog in any of these fights.
Ah yes, another result of the "arab spring" Obama praised. Seems every place this happened there is now caos, bombs and more uprisings. Keep our foreign aid here, leave any immigrants there, no more H1b's from these countries. Take care of our own people and country. Look around here and you'll find many who would do the same. Enough!
We already have military trainers on the ground in Yemen, how long can it be before we start sending troops in. My guess is it will not happen until after the election at the earliest. There is no way that Obama is going to start sending combat troops to another Middle Eastern country before the election, his polls tell him it would cost him too many votes. It does not matter how many people get killed, Obama will stay on the sidelines for now. I am not saying that we should or should not get involved, just pointing out the political reality of the situation. Knowing the way our leaders think, we will eventually take action in Yemen, whether it is under the UN or NATO banner remains to be seen. The big problem that prevents us from completely ignoring what goes on in Yemen is it's strategic location at the straights connecting the Red Sea to the Arabian Sea. This is a critical shipping lane that must be protected. Allowing Yemen to fall into the type of chaos that currently exists in Somalia could have serious consequences for the global economy if the security of that shipping lane were to be jeopardized.
PatriotChic - in case you haven't been keeeping score - number of Dead on U.S. soil due to Islamic terror during W Bush's firs term = around 5,000
number of Dead on u.S. due to Islamic terrrorism during Obma's first term = around 20.
Glad to help yuu with the info.
I say we fence the entire middle east in, drop huge caches of weapons and explosives in a few key spots. Wire the place for sound with cameras and satellite cams. Then just make it a day by day pay per view! We could use it the funds made to help pay down the debt? I mean c'mon..it would be much more entertaining than watching the Kardashian's or Swamp People!
Mike~ Gee Mike. Watched Hunger Games have you?
George.Zimmerman banned, string of racism and #1 violations.
Al Qaeda in Yemen has nothing to do with the Arab Spring - so all those who are making that connection need to bone up on your current events. AQ in the Arabian Peninsula has been around since at least 2000. Do any of you remember the Cole bombing? I'm pretty sure that was before the Arab Spring.
Yes there is the danger of radical groups taking advantage of the uprisings to consolidate power, but what are people supposed to do, just live under tyranny for the rest of their lives because radicals might take over if they try for their freedom? We are a free democratic nation. Of course our President is going to support those around the world who seek their freedom. I guess some of us are just too divisive and will use any opportunity to cynically take a swipe at their political rivals for things they know nothing about.
There are over 90 human beings DEAD... I wonder how many died in Syria today fighting for their freedoms?
I am thankful that I do not get grouped in or stereotyped like all the Christians in the U.S do. I bet there are Jewish people that are thankful they do not get grouped in with the Zionists. I am thankful that I do not get grouped in with the other "stupid" Americans.
To bad according to some here that all the 1.5 billion Muslims on this planet are all EXACTLY alike, and they all think EXACTLY the same way about peace. How about Catholicism, that must be the religion of child molesters to you huh?
I wonder what is at the heart of this all? Could it be economic inequality? Why yes it could be. It is the same thing that is happening in this country. People are tired of being slaves earning 100 times less then their masters. Only you are dumb enough to think people will work for 100 times less then they are worth and be happy about it.
Surefirepython.... hell no! I haven't watched that movie! I came up with this idea along time ago. Not the first time I've posted it. I think it's pretty legit idea. I mean, these guys are savages over there. If they weren't focused on killing us, they are killing each other. they don't even limit it to different countires, they even go after different sects within the same religion. Might as well capitilize on the situation, right? They have been, and will continue, to kill each other until the world ends. They are just monkeys with guns. Think of it as a documentary with a pay per view slant.
@ Ronald hussein Reagan.... That's only true because Bush set things in motion to help prevent another such attack and Obummer is riding his shirt tails and apron strings on the issue of homeland security and slowly dismantilling it and putting the American people at risk again !!
Regarding the Arab Spring, according to my recollection one of the justifcations given for our invasion of Iraq was that it would promote a wave of democracy which would sweep the Middle East. Of course it did no such thing. I find it ironic that the actual wave of democracy currently sweeping the Middle East was ignited in Tunisia by the release of US diplomatic cables on Wiki-Leaks documenting the corruption of the then-current Tunisian government. And you know how we are dealing with those responsible for that (i.e Bradly Manning & Julian Assange).
Bensgpa - Not to mention that Predient Obama made the calll on going after Bin Laden - Bush did nothing but fan the flames of Islamic/Western hatred. It's a miracle Presidnet Obama had managed to calm things down to the extent he has. Your post s nothing but pure ideolgoical garbage - bearing no relaion to reality - just conforming to your preconceived beliefs. Open your eyes and learn!
@Bensgpa, If my own son ever uttered the words that you proliferate I would strangle him.
Saudis and more than them, oil is special!
Saudis gave "peaceful" Sunni Salaffi, Wahhabi, al-Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood and others.
These "peacful militants" are helping Syrian rebels to overthrow "autocratic" Assad!!!
In Yemen, US has to do the cleaning job of eliminating "peaceful" al-Qaeda!
Saudis are searching for WMDs in Iran as they missed them in Iraq!
A couple of real good web sites for keeping a vigilant eye on how al quaida and other terror organizations are really operating, and exposing what they are really doing, is Jihad Watch.com and Atlas Shrugs.com. MSNBC has to be polite rather than plainly honest, so these are good information sources on terror in the Middle East, thanks.
JihadWatch.com is on Homeland Security's list of websites they monitor for would-be terrorists. So be careful when you visit the site, if DHS thinks there are terrorists on there, it's a good chance there are and you might 'meet' some of them. Or that one could hijack your email or hack your computer for their own ends and get you blamed for whatever they do....
Jihad watch is nothing but a political joke.
Peaceful Muslims, spreading the peace.
People who live in glass houses, etc.
We've killed hundreds of thousands with our wars in the last 11 years. We're just more 'civilized'.
Here's a difference: They attacked us, not the other way around.
Civilized is fun, and all, but we will be gone if we fail to respond to attacks. We would have killed NONE if they could just act as respectable world citizens and stop murdering innocent non-combatants. Hank, body count isn't the point. The point is we WILL come and go in the world and our own country as we wish without being murdered. If that isn't possible, somebody will prevail, and it isn't going to be them. We don't need their permission, and I'd be amused to have you review the "civility" of Islam. If you don't like America, and if you are willing to risk air travel....by all means choose a nice civilized country that meets your stringent specifications and move there post haste.
al-Qaida and Muslim Brotherhood assisting Syrian rebels are "good" and "peaceful". So many are screaming: arm them.
al-Qaida in Yemen are "bad".
Mind you: Saudis and their oil companies are helping fighting "bad" al-Qaida in Yemen.
On 9/11 Saudis did not have a clue of their own Saudis!
Steve~ I must have missed it. When did Iraq attack us to justify that war? Hell, even the purpose to invade was shown many times to be false. Any thoughts on that?
I missed it, where did Steve say Iraq? Not sure your point Surefirepython? Islamic terrorists did attack us and more then once.
Dhound~ Did you read it in context or simply what he typed? He was referring to a comment Hank made about us going to war. Since Hank's comment didn't revolve around any specific country then the response that Steve made, unless he indicated different (which he didn't), doesn't either. This would mean that Hank, hince Steve, also included Iraq and that war.
Then again this is just basic reading. I can't expect everyone to understand. Hell, English is one of the hardest languages to learn. Even if it's the only language you know.
I know I haven't given you time to respond GHOUND but I'm still very baffled by your question. In 11 years we fought how many wars? Of those fought did any of them include Iraq? If one indeed included Iraq then wouldn't my comment and question be correct if I simply based it off what Steve said in his response to Hank? Help me out here? Are you looking to just argue about something? If so that's fine but perhaps you should pick a comment that isn't accurate and go with that before one that is accurate.
People still believe that. SMH.
Truly Mad dogs but not alot of difference in killing to gain power than them and the Mexican Cartels.
Fast and Furious has been a huge Mexican Cartel success.
I was wondering why "latest" and "precision" drones could not eliminate the bomber!
If hsopitals are full with this one bombing, some may have to be brought to treatment like their Saleh in the US!
Just wait and watch!
Another "Occupy" moment.
""Yemenis must stand together in the face of this deadly terrorist threat," said Brigadier Karim Nahil. "We will celebrate our unity tomorrow with the blood of our martyrs on our hands and faces."
As long as martyrs are thought to be a good thing, you will be dying wholesale, there, Karim. Stand together? How about get off your ass and run the "TERRORISTS" out of your country. You all know where to find them. Stop sending them money, stop hiding them, stop smooching their asses and plow them under.
Ever been to Yemen? I've been in the square/plaza were this happened. You can't expect Yemen to function like a wealthy western country. It is hardly a country at all, having many tribal factions, a Marxist/Capitalist split for years, followed by civil war. The country is one of the poorest in the world. Yemenis have had a great sense of humor through it all, and are coping with a great many things.
Of course its easy from your comfortable chair in the West.
This Texan agrees with TIDubai. Talk's cheap when you're talking about fighting and dying in the desert with a Starbucks in your hand.
I'm sick of the "war on this and the war on that." War on drugs? Complete BS. War on poverty? Who's poverty? War on AIDS? If you're white. War on terrorism? Fought with the best propaganda money can buy.
These wars will never end, and we will never "win."
When can muslims stop all this killing? Why are muslims so violent when they keep saying islam means peace? They claim to be religious but have a lot of hatred in them. Is this a religion or what?
Like Geert Wilders of Holland proclaims, Islam is a political party similar to Communism, Nazism and other radical, fanatical political organizations that control their members totally, even with death threats if they decide to leave. You can't eat sand and with a high birth rate they are pushing themselves into any country that will allow them and city, state and the federal government are doing whatever they can to assist them. You lose your common sense after elected or on government payroll maybe.
Bimbo: Muslims have to kill somebody.
If they get infidels, they kill them using Islamic grinders.
If Muslim majority nations, they classify some group as "infidels". They have to eliminate them using the same Islamic grinders.
Which is better: if they kill each other or kill you and I?
Isluum is a cancer, we know how to eradicate cancer dont we?
Radiation works best.......
No sir!
US, British and many European nations keep alive feudal, autocratic, bigoted, corrupt and barbaric Saudis, Kuwaiti, UAE and many other Sunnis. They outsource their dirty jobs for us!
Look at Iraqi wars!
Oil companies, bankers, manipulators, lobbyists and extremist Jewish lobbyists determine our fate!
Oil prices are manipulated higher by sanctions on Iranian oil!
We've had Muslims in our country for 200+ years and 9-11 was the first mass attack on us from Muslim extremists. That should tell you right there that the majority of them are peaceful and just want to be left alone. Al-Quaeda didn't spring into existence until the mid 80s or 90's or sometime thereabouts and nothing happened till 9-11. If it took them that long to coordinate something like that, how long is it going to take them to coordinate something like that again? Especially with our heightened security?
There are Christian extremists (the Westboro Baptist folks come to mind) Jewish extremists, Buddhist extremists, Muslim extremists, heck there are even extremists in Wicca, my belief system. What are we going to do, outlaw all religions in the world because they have extremist sects? That would be neither feasible nor practical.
The more hate you put out, the more hate you will get back. The person you are determines the world you live in. So with that in mind, wouldn't the most logical solution be to 'stop hating'?
Don't confuse Islam with radical Islam. There is about as much difference there as between Christianity and the Spanish Inquisition.
When radical Muslims act, all other classifications (moderate, liberal, secular, ...) of Muslims are not visible.
This can't be! I thought this entire terror thing was just propaganda? (yes sarcasm)
This needs to stop. All this killing and hate. We have progressed as so much as species but for some reason we can't understand that we truly all do come from the same place. Were all connected to each other and nothing is worth killing another human being.
Good luck telling a muslim that. Muslims have not progressed since the 7th century. They seem to have gone backwards since then and are in the process of self destruction. It is ok if they destroy themselves but they seem to want to destroy others too while they go down.
OK so what are you gonna do bout it?
The same could be said of some Christians--remember the Inquisition? An attempt to stop out the practitioners of my faith, and don't kid yourself that all Christians have progressed beyond it because I have people tell me I'm going to hell when I tell them I'm a practicing witch. In fact, I have had Christians Jews and Muslims all tell me I'm going to hell for being a witch. Do ALL of them tell me that? No, it's the attitudes of a few who reflect badly on the whole.
This is nuts, how can your relate murderous thugs killing in the name of their religion in the twenty first century to the middle age Inquisition.
How many Grand Inquisitors you have seen recently in your neighborhood?
Are member of the TSA harassing you in the Airport searching for the Crusades or the Grand Inquisitors?
Stop making up this tired and mindless excuses, we have seen them many time before and they have nothing to do with this idiot killing ninety of his comrades in the name of his Allah.
All of this violence is designed to get the American media attention that will fill the airwaves 24/7.....
Really now, REALLY.......This is just an every day thing in those god-forsaken countries.
They are always killing each other for reasons they don't even remember anymore.
We have been hearing about the Israel/Palestine crap for over 50 years now, and if you listen to American media it sounds like this is something new.
Give us all a freakin break already.....It's really gotten old.
I think most people are growing tired of these headlines. Instead of fueling hate and rage towards the middle east it actually seems that people just want out and to stop hearing about it.
Agreed
radical muslims are like libs (with a slight difference) they keep popping up everywhere. in the terrorist world the fanatics blow themselves up and kill as many as possible. in america the libs keep popping up and their policies kill as many as possible.
time for your meds Libs.
i wants all of you guys polosetans to go here before you hating Islam and don't you tell your self that you American but not Muslims i wont s you look up to Ur History where your background from than you words up every religiosity have lots of bade dump peoples they are devils and we know who is it they them selves
Hey Pukhtoon, go Pukh yourself as4hole Mulsim trash. Aren't you of the same group that killed Ghandi? Of course you are and of course I respect your words like I respect the wisdom of a pile of sh&t on my floor. Go kill some more people because they don't call their made up god Allah; as in chicken Allah king.
Mohammed was an epileptic and his seizures were interpreted as him talking to Allah. What a stupid farce of a cult.

Shi& for brains Pakistanis!
Islamic ideals for all to see everywhere. They got mixed up somewhere along the way. Spreading their religion doesn't mean literally spreading the people all over it really means spreading ideas.
and what the F are those ideas William? How to kill anyone not a Muslim? Any answer not in agreement is a lie, to the degree that it does not agree. Muslims are like bad bacteria with only poor antibiotics to control, them.
Wonderful news any time these scumbag low-life Muslims kill each other, especially the innocent (I inserted innocent so you might think I was not hateful. I am not hateful, I am truthful and these pieces of shi^ are just that, shi&!) Muslims.
Muslims are so fuc*ing peaceful; when they are dead!
Do you do anything besides hate? Just curious.
Bilal: Do you people contribute something positive to a place, society and nation except acting as Trojan horses for one-way street raping, stealing, kidnapping and killing Muslims?
Why don't you traitors go back to your Muslim nations?
We people. Which people, exactly, are we?
S'pose your answer to my question is also no...
Remember all, the bombers are really good, fundamental Islamists, carrying out the dictates of their pedophile madman "prophet" - either enslave or kill anyone who does not agree with you! And this hate has been concentrated by centuries of the religious leaders, each making it more hateful and violent. Result, now you have people who kill for no reason other than you do not agree with them. As some of the posters above have pointed out, islam is a cancer. And we all know that radiation is one of the effective treatments for cancers....Mecca would be a good point to apply the radiation source.
and so were the Jesuits. Stop swallowing everything the government feeds you.
Government? If you haven't checked lately, our gubmint thinks Islamists are great people, just a little misunderstood - just like Major Nidal killing his fellow soldiers - just an argument over a crap game that got out of hand....and president Hussein thinks they are all peaceful loving people!
Nope, try that one somewhere else!
During a military parade rehearsal NOBODY NOTICED when an unidentified uniformed man mingled with the rest of the troops before blowing himself up. Does NOBODY in Muslim countries ever check the ID's or do a military or police ROLL CALL at official functions like this?
Easy for you to say in the west. Have you ever lived in a poor country... I mean dirt poor, like Yemen, D.R. Congo, Tadjikistan?
I didn't think so.
It did say that it might have been a rogue soldier - thus, someone they recognized and thought was okay, not someone unidentified.

Funny, I'm a Baptist, but I'd rather spend time talking with Pukhtoon than with Matt... Matt sounds like a Tim McVeigh wannabe.
Sure, all religions sound good in the book, but what happens when ideals come in contact with reality?
I think we should pay close attention to what Khan has to say,because he is one of the few Muslims willing to tell the truth about Islam and all the sickness it entails.
What is sisss boom baah?
The sound when a sheep blows up.
no that would be sisss, baah, boom but islam works in strange ways.
How stupid have we Americans become? We have a muslim for President, a man that isn't even a natural born citizen and yet the people don't care. Would you want to fight for THIS society?
News flash Hawaii 50th state. News flash Rev Wright a Christian.
Apoparently you are indicative of the high degree of stupidity in this country. Obama is Christian, born in good ole USA. IGNORANT.
Freddy4life, seems to be a Rush follower. I think when we see your post we can see how stupid American's have become.
Freddy - birthers and bigots vote on Wednesday this November. I read it in an email on the internet - it must be true.
Obama professed christianity but for someone strange reason his tax return indicates NO donation to a church..none, Biden did, Romney did, what's up with that?
And that's why he was able to produce a full birth certificate showing his was born in Hawaii, one of the 50 states of America, and why he was talking positively about God and Jesus just this past Easter, yeah?
Not that a person has to be Christian to be president (it's simply a common preference). I also don't understand the American-born thing 100%, since there's plenty naturalized citizens who seem a lot brighter and more "American" than many American-born... I think what they might have been going for with that doesn't quite work out anymore...
unfortunately those of us that are born here sometimes take our citizenship for granted. Those have to work for it and come from abroad realize how fortunate we are. Having said that those who vote because someone told em to vote without research are taking this country apart at the seams and then that do not vote...well they bitch but they should shut up.
MUGTECH-Bedededededededede news flash then Senator Obama said there were 57 states. Also 20 years in Wright's Church and Obama never heard a thing bedededededededede.................
To all you sure fire believers in Obama's Birth Certificate...
When did AFRICAN become the conotation for "Race or Nationality"? (Hint: it never was, and never did.)
In 1961 Barack Obama Sr. was of the "Race" referred to as Negro.
In 1961 Barack Obama Sr. was of the "Nationality" referred to as British Subject.
Please do you "believing" somewhere else.
Thanks for playing today.
You do realize that there are a whole TWO Birth Certificates on the entire planet, that use AFRICAN to denote the "Race or Nationality" of someone.
...and both of them belong to Barack "Barry" Hussein Soetoro.
You do understand how "adoption laws" work I suppose?
When did he change his name "back" to Obama?
Fredy if you think the USA is that bad off pack your bags and go live in one of these Arab countries for a year or two if they don't kill you come back and tell us how bad this country is.
We have plenty of problems here I won't argue that I have been to other countries and the USA with all it's problems isn't that bad. Freddy stop spewing misinformation and get your facts straight if the man wasn't an American they would have thrown him out of office with factual evidence about him not being a US citizen.
I wonder if the birthers ever stop and realize that our government does a full and thorough vetting of every presidential (and congressional) candidate? I mean, come on. If you think your Justice Department is that incompetent, then why are you still paying taxes? I hear Canada is nice this time of year.
Zap - What that "states" or "states and commonwealths"? There are places that are not technically states, but whose citizens are born Americans and which function the same as states. For example, Puerto Rico.
Remember, just Last Week Hussein "Less Than" Zero was Touting Yemen as a "model" to be used in Syria. Just like everything else this Incompetent proposes, it is just Plain Stupid.
WHo is Husssein ":ess than Zero" Is this some sort of new moronic right wing code? If you
're referrring to the President this sort of thing is asin to donning a dunce cap and a big red clown nose . In other words, it is a self-marginalizing activity. Hope you enjoy things there on the margins of rational discourse.
