Saudi Arabia Launches Military Strikes On Yemeni Capital
NY Post ^ | 11/10/17 | Bob Fredericks

Saudi Arabia launched military strikes against Yemen’s defense ministry in the capital city of Sana’a in the latest escalation in the conflict between the two Arab nations, witnesses told the French news agency AFP.

It wasn’t immediately clear if the attacks were air or missile strikes, but they came following reports that Iran had manufactured the ballistic missile fired by Yemen’s Shiite rebels toward the Saudi capital a week ago.

Remnants of the missile bore “Iranian markings,” the top US Air Force official in the Mideast said Friday, backing the kingdom’s earlier allegations.

Saudi Arabia long has accused Iran of giving weapons to the Shiite rebels known as Houthis and their allies, though Tehran has just as long denied supplying them.

Saudi Arabia says it shot down the missile Nov. 4 near Riyadh’s international airport, the deepest yet to reach into the kingdom.

Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry later said investigators examining the remains of the rocket found evidence proving “the role of Iranian regime in manufacturing them.”

So basically Yemen needs a complete do-over. Maybe auction it off to a democratic country...Poland might like a warm weather place with a beach. or make it a desert wildlife park.

I’d suspect Trump’s messaging to the Saudis about oil independence and how that may make Saudis a little less rich may have hit home...

My speculation...the Prince’s in Saudi Arabia are zealots, just like their comprots in Qatar. => they bought into ISIS, and that lost the civil war in Syria.

(People here don’t like this...these knuckleheads are rampant want to connect the Las Vegas shooting.)

The Saudi’s had every reason to foster a civil war by SUNNI’s who hold a 68% Majority over the Shiite’s. Assad being an Alewite, which is anShia sect. And, if you remember there was a VERY organic uprising of Sunni Army Officers deserting early on.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The Saudi Prince’s money and the low life Qatari’s money went to supporting the worst of the worst, losing support exponentially for the rebels. (Despite the best efforts of McCain, Kerry, Hillary and Obama.)

At some point it’s sooo corrupt as to be untenable.

Maybe we’ll see the lofty John McCain with ISIS again for a photo opt!

The most prominent Prince among those detained sent a letter/check to Giuliani after 9/11...the letter stated, in effect, you brought this on yourself. Giuliani returned a check for for $10 million and said no thank you!

Do you doubt for a second these same scambags are funding ISIS?

AND...so zealous is their support, they have defeated Saudi foreign policy!
