Yeah, the level of "consent" you're referring to is approximately equivalent to amount of consent local store owners give for "protection services" from the mafia. What is Yemen going to do, refuse and head to their bomb shelters as we leapfrog Yemen to the top of the "#1 Serious and Imminent Threat to America's freedom(!)" list ahead of AAA? Even if you believe that Yemen's consent was genuine and not coherced, do you think it would have stopped us if they had said, "GFY, we ain't helping you with ****." We didn't bother getting permission from Packistan when we went after OBL and AAA was supposedly so much more of a Serious and Imminent threat we didn't even try to indict AAA or physically apprehend him.
