Yemen's president agrees to resign, official says

Yemen's embattled President Ali Abdullah Saleh has accepted a deal brokered by neighboring Persian Gulf nations to step down, a senior Yemeni Foreign Ministry official said Saturday.

Both Saleh and the Yemeni opposition have agreed to the deal in principle. But Saleh has yet to sign the agreement, which mandates that he leave office within 30 days and provides complete immunity for him and those who served in his regime, said the official.

    Very well put,Air Force One 12:04. Too bad that the extreme left wing nuts don't see it that way. @Air Force Strong, with such language, you must be a top notch fan of Sarah Palin. There is no place for such Tea Party lingo on this forum whatsoever. It's as simple as that.
