Last Updated Jun 13, 2016 2:14 PM EDT The Orland gay club gunman's father has well-known anti-American views and is an ideological supporter of the Afghan Taliban. A new message posted by the father on Facebook early Monday morning also makes it clear he could have passed anti-homosexual views onto his son. Seddique Mir Mateen, father of Orlando gunman Omar Mateen, who died in a shootout with police after killing at least 49 people early Sunday morning, regularly attended Friday prayers at a Florida mosque with his son. Play Video Details on suspected Orlando gunman Omar Mateen In the video posted early Monday, Seddique Mateen says his son was well-educated and respectful to his parents, and that he was "not aware what motivated him to go into a gay club and kill 50 people." The elder Mateen says he was saddened by his son's actions during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. He then adds: "God will punish those involved in homosexuality," saying it's, "not an issue that humans should deal with."

Obomber has already made GWB look good.... +++ US Dramatically Escalates Role Supporting Saudi Bombing of Yemen Centcom Statement Presents War on Shi'ite Houthis as About al-Qaeda by Jason Ditz, August 08, 2016 Print This \| Share This Between the year and a half Saudi war against Yemen not achieving the expected quick victory, and the growing talk of war crimes as the civilian death toll from Saudi airstrikes soars, a lot of nations would be looking to distance themselves from the disastrous failure. Not the US, however, as they brag up their escalating support for the Saudi air war. The newest data, released by Central Command, reveals that US refueling operations in Yemen are up some 60% over the past six months, a span of time which included a long ceasefire and failed peace talks. The Saudis never stopped bombing though, and the US never stopped facilitating. US-sold bombs dropped by US-sold planes refueled by the US Air Force have been at the center of some of the most glaring war crimes in Yemen so far, and while the Obama Administration is claimed at times to be pushing the Saudis to reach some sort of settlement, there’s no sign that’s actually happening. Indeed, Centcom’s effort to manage the public opposition is telling, as they bragged about 1,144 refueling missions for 5,525 warplanes in their statement, but made that materially the only mention of the Saudi war itself, instead talking up US drone strikes against al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), the Yemeni affiliate. Yet the Saudi war isn’t against AQAP, and never war. Indeed, the Saudi war gave AQAP cover to take several towns in southern Yemen, and on the ground AQAP and its allies have taken mostly fighting against the same Shi’ite forces the Saudis have. As Centcom insists the war in Yemen is important because AQAP is a threat, they continue supporting an air war which has done nothing but helped AQAP.
