drone operations in yemen. there's a shift from targeted strikes based on a positive identification of a particular individual to signature strikes based on generalized patterns of what we believe carmela and characteristics and militant behavior. that may have worked pretty well in pakistan. that is because they stuck out. but in a place like yemen where ethnic arabs are reintegrated into their own tribal structures and even their own family structures, a signature strike becomes more problematic. it underscores something we need to consider more broadly, drones are a tool. they are in instrument and they allow us to extend our reach and reduce the cost of intervening in various military operations. but they don't change the need for having very clear intelligence. they don't change the need to understand the local social, political, and economic dynamics on the ground. they don't change the human dimension of war, the relationship between the population that's fighting or living the midst of war and the peopl

yemen's live in $60 economies. in a region that is cut off from the rest of the world, where people are living on less than 800 calories a day, that makes a difference. it is a real concern about government corruption that is pulling people into the insurgency in yemen. not drone strikes, not jihad, not ideology. all of those things are used. the second thing i found in yemen, they resent the drone strikes. they have the image of the drones and the u.s. government is standing up a government that is not accountable to them. we hear this over and over. in the south and in the north. this notion that the u.s. is propping up a government that is not responsive to the population. it is fundamentally undermining our political objectives, even while securing our security objectives. neither one of them bears any resemblance to the facts on the ground. they are distorting our ability to understand the relationship between the instruments of policy and the actual substance of our objectives. our security terms and our long
