The U.S. has launched two missile strikes against Al Qaeda targets in Yemen, two U.S. officials told Fox News, signaling an escalation of the Obama administration's fight against the terrorist organization. The politically sensitive strikes Thursday, first reported by ABC News, supplement efforts already under way by the government of Yemen to go after Al Qaeda in the country, the officials told Fox News, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the operation. Such an operation is particularly sensitive in Yemen. "It's very difficult for Yemen to ask the U.S. for help given the nature of their population and its views about the West," one official ...

WASHINGTON -- Militants in Iraq have used $26 off-the-shelf software to intercept live video feeds from U.S. Predator drones, potentially providing them with information they need to evade or monitor U.S. military operations. Senior defense and intelligence officials said Iranian-backed insurgents intercepted the video feeds by taking advantage of an unprotected communications link in some of the remotely flown planes' systems. Shiite fighters in Iraq used software programs such as SkyGrabber -- available for as little as $25.95 on the Internet -- to regularly capture drone video feeds, according to a person familiar with reports on the matter. U.S. officials say there is no evidence ...

Job market worsens for recent college graduates Unemployment among young adults is worse than the U.S. average. Little relief is in sight. By Don Lee December 14, 2009 Reporting from Washington - The unemployment rate dropped last month for men and women, blacks and whites, lifting hopes that the long dry spell in the jobs market may be coming to an end. But for recent college graduates and other young adults, the labor situation didn't just remain dire -- it got worse. For 20- to 24-year-olds, the jobless rate rose four-tenths of a percent to 16% in November, even as unemployment nationally slipped to 10% from 10.2%. And data from the Labor Department show that the unemployment ...

Their decision says a lot about the rules of war against insurgents in Afghanistan. NPR Pentagon correspondent Tom Bowman watched the story unfold during a recent visit to the country, and he joins us now to talk about it. Hello. TOM BOWMAN: Hi, Renee.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney says trying suspected Sept. 11 terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York City will make him "as important or more important than Osama bin Laden." In an interview with Fox News Channel personality Sean Hannity, Cheney said holding the trial in a lower Manhattan courtroom near ground zero will make Mohammed "a hero in certain circles, especially in the radical regions of Islam around the world." Cheney said the trial will put Mohammed "on the map." The Republican called Attorney General Eric Holder's decision in November to try Mohammed and four other 9/11 suspects in a civilian federal court near ground zero "a ...

A FEW WELL-PLACED DIGS © (IN THE KISHKES) by Norman Liebmnn President Obama has finally decided to send 30,000 troops to Afghanistan. The question is does he intend to give them guns? After all the vacillating Obama they may they decide to change the name of that country to Flimflamistan. Chelsea Clinton is getting married which means some poor bastard is going to have Hillary Clinton as his mother-in-law. And we thought water-boarding was cruel and inhuman punishment. Doesn’t Obama make the case that Lincoln freed the slaves once too often? This past Thanksgiving Helen Thomas gave thanks for having a black President. Perhaps this coming Xmas she’ll get her ...
