For the first time, the Pentagon on Friday acknowledged publicly that the U.S. military is operating on the ground in Yemen.

Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, said that a small number of American military personnel are in Yemen "providing limited support" to the Yemeni government and Arab coalition battling al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).

The U.S. military forces are providing intelligence, maritime support, airborne intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance, aerial refueling, and medical aid to the Emirate, Yemeni and Arab coalition forces battling AQAP there.

The USS Boxer Amphibious Ready Group is operating off the coast and providing the medical support. The ARG includes the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit, the USS Boxer, the USS Gravely and the USS Gonzalez.

Davis said that this is a new deployment but declined to provide how many U.S. forces are on the ground there now or where they are operating.

A senior defense official said that it is a very small number of troops and the majority are U.S. military special operations forces.

Davis added that this deployment is in response to the growth of AQAP in Yemen and cited four recent counterterror strikes that the U.S. has conducted against the group, killing 10 AQAP operatives and wounding others.

He said that these strikes are separate and apart from the coalition operations that the U.S. is now supporting on the ground there. The fight against al Qaeda continues globally, he added.

What was the joke the other day..................

America goes around the world protecting or creating democracy for countries and then look at how corrupt the American system is via this election........haha

It is ironic, although the US more often creates dictatorships by installing a friendly puppet as dictator, throwing a few million their way in exchange for the rights for American corporations to steal that country's resources. They rarely bother to construct infrastructure beyond the needs of their corporations or clean up the environmental damage they cause.

When America claims they are intervening in order to bring 'democracy' to a third world country, their actual intention is to replace a hostile dictator with one sympathetic to their corporate ambitions.

I thought the Yemenite government mainly were fighting the Shiite tribal rebels. Al Qaeda is Sunni...

The Saudis are running out of oil and apparently there is heaps in Yemen , which is the objective.

Other oil streams are coming on line. The Saudis know this. They also know that the region is being balkanised and re-mapped. Seeing the writing on the wall they have decided to pump as much as they can, while they are still in control of some oil fields. Get that money out of the area so when the shit fan goes down they can all migrate to safer lands and they have plenty of money stashed away.

Israel will look after them , they are crpto jews , so the rumor goes.

I think they will bail. What is left of Saudi Arabia after the north is annexed to the levant will just be a desolate patch of sand that reverts back to wild lands and nomads. There won't be anything to see there.
