rtrusty Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Maybe just maybe they wanted to be found or heard of because now If they were to brake the law we'll get to them fairly quickly. So it might make some of them think twice before they break the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonCruiser Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 LINK = CIA Building Base C.I.A. Building Base for Strikes in YemenBy MARK MAZZETTI Published: June 14, 2011 WASHINGTON — The Central Intelligence Agency is building a secret air base in the Middle East to serve as a launching pad for strikes in Yemen using armed drones, an American official said Tuesday. Related Yemen’s Opposition Meets With Government Officials (June 14, 2011) Times Topic: Yemen — Protests (2011)The construction of the base is a sign that the Obama administration is planning an extended war in Yemen against an affiliate of Al Qaeda that has repeatedly tried to carry out terrorist plots against the United States. The clandestine American operations in Yemen are currently being run by the military’s Joint Special Operations Command, with the C.I.A.’s assistance and with the approval of Yemen’s fragile authoritarian government. But with Yemen’s embattled government on the brink of collapse, Obama administration officials are concerned that a future government might not support American operations. By putting the operations under C.I.A. control, they could be carried out as a “covert action,” which can be undertaken without the support of the host government. The construction of the base, first reported by The Associated Press, is further evidence that the administration sees armed drones as the weapon of choice to hunt and kill militants in countries where a large American military presence is untenable. Since he took office, President Obama has drastically escalated the C.I.A.’s bombing campaign in Pakistan using armed drones, and the spy agency has carried out more than 25 strikes there this year. The American official would not disclose the country where the C.I.A. base was being built, but the official said that it would most likely be completed by the end of the year. Discussions about the C.I.A.’s taking over operations in Yemen began last year, the official said, before the political uprising and violence that broke out in the country in recent months. Last month, the military renewed its campaign of airstrikes in Yemen, using drone aircraft and fighter jets to attack Qaeda militants. One of the attacks was aimed at Anwar al-Awlaki, the radical American-born cleric who is one of the most prominent members of the Qaeda affiliate group, which is called Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. The range of a Reaper is about 1100 miles, so the base probably already exists and word just got out to the main media. More then likely an upgrade to the air field. If not in Saudi or Oman. Djibouti, Africa would be logical. Less than 50 miles to cross the Gulf of Aden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent 6 months there at MacDill AFB in F-16 RTU. While the Viper will always be my favorite jet, I get to watch the Raptors flying every day outside my window here at Langley AFB. I have to admit, I miss it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
