Several top Yemeni army commanders have declared their support for anti-government protesters seeking the resignation of the country's president, Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Major General Ali Mohsen Saleh, the head of the north western military zone and the head of the first armoured division, said on Monday that he had deployed army units to protect the protesters.
Several other commanders, Brigadier Hameed Al Koshebi, head of brigade 310 in Omran area, Brigadier Mohammed Ali Mohsen, head of the eastern division, Brigadier Nasser Eljahori, head of brigade 121, and General Ali Abdullaha Aliewa, adviser of the Yemeni supreme leader of the army, rallied behind Major General Saleh and defected.
The announcement came days after scores died when armed men fired at an anti-government protest in the capital Sanaa.
Several ministers resigned from the government after Friday's violence. Abdullah Alsaidi, Yemen's ambassador to the United Nations, also quit in protest over the killings.

Sounds like they hear opportunity knocking. Oh, excuse me, I meant "They support the democratic aspirations of the masses!"

...and when the House of Saud falls, the Wahhabi's will run wild.
I hope we have a president that can handle that situation.

What is going on in Yemen is more clear than what is happening in other Arab countries, the military wants the "American puppet government" gone. Pretty much cut and dry really, leaving no room for Glorious Comrade Leader to dither about with endless indecision because he can't figure it out.
Any "allies" we had there will soon be out of the picture and even a stuffed shirt like Soetoro should be able to clearly see that for what it is. It's called a "target rich environment", Barry. It is unfolding the way it is due in no small part to the fact that we have a complete idiot gelding in the White House. Perhaps, Barry, instead of taking in that next round of golf you could spend a few hours in the Reagan Library in search of some clues. :loser:

That's exactly what it is.
They just want to support the "democratic process". :whatever: ::)

Unless he's not.
