“Quick research suggests that Bush authorized making war in Yemen around November of 2002. That was the time of the first drone strike. Obama intensified the war in 2011, following up on his earlier intensification in 2009. Even a CFR publication by Micah Zenko (Reforming U.S. Drone Strike Policies) is highly critical of drone warfare and recognizes that retaliation grows and anti-U.S. groups enlarge as the U.S. increases its violence. Today’s headlines say that the recent ‘terror’ warning applies specifically to Yemen. The U.S. has advised Americans to leave Yemen. Bush escalated the fighting, although the U.S. was unsure who bombed the Cole.”
