‘The network said the
\nObama administration and the long-time Yemeni dictator, Field Marshal
\nAli Abdullah Saleh, had reached an agreement to allow the US to fly
\ncruise missiles, fighter jets and armed drones, used for remote-control
\nassassinations, in Yemeni airspace. Talks were still ongoing on whether
\nSaleh will give permission for the entry of US helicopter-borne Special
\nForces.<\/font>

The report comes after a
\nseries of statements by top administration officials, including Obama
\nhimself, pledging that \u201call elements of US power\u201d will be
\nused in response to the failed attack on Northwest Flight 253. The
\nWhite House has been under heavy fire from its Republican opponents
\nover the evident security failure, and a military action would serve to
\ndivert public attention from the ongoing revelations of how the CIA and
\nother US agencies ignored warnings about the impending attack.<\/font><\/p>\n

\ninto a battlefield for US commandos.’<\/font><\/p>\n
