Sudan pledges air and ground troops to Saudi-led strikes on Yemen; Kerry offers logistics, intelligence support in Yemen as Iran-backed Houthi rebels advance on the Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb.

Maritime sources at the Suez Canal confirmed the vessels' route, saying they expected them to reach the Red Sea by Thursday evening.

this administration cares more about social justice, homosexuals, cross dressing , drugs,and handing out welfare.

This last few years should be a lesson to those liberals and liberal-tarians who think we should just reduce the military and never be involved in the world.

I somehow doubt that they still will not wake up though.

Nope, not even when oil prices jump higher than the moon. They’ll think they can just depend on their little electric cars. Until the economy collapses.

I think in this case it would be what the White Hut calls a “MAN CAUSED DISASTER”.

Oh no, that simply is not true. Remember, Josh All-Too-Earnest told us global tranquility is surging up thanks to Oblamer.

While they’re at it, they need to clear Eritrea of its Iranian presence.

So, the first positive development since the Kurds finally pushed ISIS out of Kobani, and you’re complaining about the local authorities (i.e., not the US) acting against Iranian interests?

And since when is the Middle East NOT a disaster area?
