Why is Obama using drones against Al qaeda in Yemen and supporting them in Syria?

Don't you think we should be operating against Al Qaeda everywhere?

Update:

Mr. Wolf-I take it keeping yourself informed isn't high on your list.

Update 2:

Mr. Wolf prob thinks the Nation is a right wing magazine.

Update 3:

Read your comment and listen to how silly you sound. "Not all linked to Al Qaeda" which means some are which means Obama is supporting Al Qaeda in Syria. Get past your partisan blinders and realize what this president is doing in Syria is absurd.

    Good question. We want Assad out of Syria and we are willing to arm terrorist there to get that taken care of. What do we want in Yemen that we are bombing them? I mean why did we arm and train Al Qaeda back in the 80's to begin with....once you know the answers to all of those questions you will never look at our government the same again.

    No. Not all of the rebels are linked to Al Qaeda, but would you honestly risk even one of them getting weapons that could be used on Americans...and this isn't just an "Obama" issue either, this is an issue with just about every president since Reagan.

    Prove he is supporting al Qaeda in Syria. You Obama haters believe everything you hear or read in right-wing media.

    Do you believe all those Republicans in congress who want the U.S. to support the rebels in Syria also support al Qaeda?

    Like I said "prove it".

    You are misinformed.

    READ YOUR OWN LINK. IT CLEARLY STATES NOT ALL OF THE REBEL ARE LINKED TO AL QUAEDA!!
