Obama Offers Bribe to Saleh to Stay in Saudi Arabia

That's a good use of tax dollars, no?

Celebrations in Yemen may be premature (By Neil MacFarquhar, New York Times)

Obama administration officials said that the United States was pressing Saleh and his allies to accept a deal recently negotiated by Arab states, including Saudi Arabia, that would allow the president to leave power in exchange for immunity for him and his relatives. Although they declined to provide details, some hinted that the United States might be willing to throw in financial incentives to help ease Saleh’s leaving....   

Yeah, NEVER SAW a WORD ABOUT THAT in my PRINTED PoS!!!
