Rebuilding Yemen and Waiting for the Bill

Now that the United States has expanded its war on terror to Yemen, the American taxpayer can soon expect another bill to be laid upon President Obama's desk, via congress. The American people, who are reeling from very tough economic times, though Wall Street seems to have bounced back, are soon to be faced with the financial task of rebuilding Yemen.

The President and congress are on an unlimited spending spree. The "War on Terror" is spreading from Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and now into Yemen with Uzbekistan next on the list. Patty Murray, the democratic Senator from Washington State, said it quite clearly when President George W. Bush decided to go into Iraq with the tag line, "You break it, you buy it". So, with bombing raids now covering more and more of the Middle-East, the American taxpayer can be expected to cash in the rest of what they own, drain their bank accounts, and do their part to push the Whitehouse's Foreign Policy further across the globe in the Democratization of the planet with the rebuild as you go mind-set. Does China or the other lending nations, share this vision? The United States is broke. It borrows to implement its own Federal programs, and keep its military afloat, all this on the backs of the American taxpayer and its generations to come.

The American people grumble, but continue to pay in more ways than taxes as their own liberties fade in order to stay safe from terror. Air raids on Yemen will bring the U.S. into accountability for the damage. No announcements have been made to the public in regards to the need to re-structure the government of Yemen, but since they are harboring terrorists as Afghanistan and Iraq were, it can't be far off. The U.S. Treasury is stacked full of I.O.U.'s to other countries, so as the bombing raids of Yemen continue, the American tax payer waits for the President or congress to drop a bomb in the form of another spending bill to cover the damages.
