Yemen’s President Signs OffPosted on Nov 23, 2011
After enduring a couple of unsuccessful attempts to get him to sign his power away, Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh finally put pen to paper Wednesday, effectively ending his 33-year tenure after months of unrest and bloodshed in his home country. In exchange, he’ll reportedly be granted three more months as a figurehead of state as well as protection from prosecution, which doesn’t sit well with his detractors. —KA

Excuse me? This guy would be out in three months anyway, and the Yemeni people are supposed to be grateful? AND he gets immunity from prosecution?! What a joke!

The stupidity and arrogance of those intoxicated with crooked power does not really know limits!
Ali Abdullah Saleh, one of the exposed American puppets and enemy of his own people, signs off on this trick only to save his own head. The fact that this so-called agreement is sponsored by another American puppet, the King of Saudi Arabia, is in itself the epitome of stupidity. Moreover, Saleh’s transfer of his powers to his deputy is another indication of elevating stupidity to another higher level.
The Yeminies should learn from the experience of their Egyptian brethren, whose January-February revolution was aborted by the trick of allowing the military to have their previous privileges, and thus to go through the pain of another corrective revolution just taking place right now.
This fake and tricky so-called agreement should be rejected, and the Yeminies should stop at nothing short of demanding a trial for this stupid asshole called misnomarly “Saleh” which means “Upright” or “Righteous” in Arabic.
