...Classic stuff - and the game is on. Kept on the campaign sidelines by his own vice president, Clinton is fighting the war in Washington, giving free play to Al Gore's priorities while keeping GOPers in Congress tied to their desks instead of getting out the vote at home. And the GOP, after weeks of dutiful negotiating, has decided to take him up on his offer for a fight. "We're not going to get pushed out of town with a bad deal," Hastert told reporters.

However, shifting refueling operations from Djibouti to Aden was a classic case of misapplying military resources to a non-strategic, threat-intensive mission. The naval presence, if anything, actually complicated the situation. Unlike typical uses of the Navy in nation-building efforts, where sailors work with local communities to build infrastructure while injecting dollars into the local economy, in Yemen sailors were either restricted to ship or portside. The U.S. presence--involving the use of Adens port by combatants en route to conduct...
