Saudi Arabia and Sunni Coalition launches WAR on Houthis in Yemen; Egypt declares OFFICIAL SUPPORT
The Right Scoop ^ | 3/25/2015 | The Right Scoop

Posted on 03/25/2015 6:00:56 PM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

This is big news. Saudi Arabia and a Sunni coalition (UAE, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait) has now begun bombing Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen:

AL ARABIYA – Warplanes of the Royal Saudi Air Force bombed the positions of Yemen’s Houthi militia and destroyed most of their air defenses, Al Arabiya News Channel reported early on Thursday.

Arab Gulf states had announced that they have decided to “repel Houthi aggression” in neighboring Yemen, following a request from the country’s President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi.

In their joint statement Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait said they “decided to repel Houthi militias, al-Qaeda and ISIS [Islamic State of Iraq and Syria] in the country.”

The Gulf states warned that the Houthi coup in Yemen represented a “major threat” to the region’s stability.

It also accused the Iranian-backed militia of conducting military drills on the border of Saudi Arabia, a leading member of the GCC, with “heavy weapons.”

Bottom line: We’re providing intelligence and logistic support. We won’t be getting our hands dirty on this one. The Saudis and friends are capable of handling this one without us as long as Iran minds its own business.

So the US is providing some support. Obama will likely increase or decrease this US support?

“I know I’m picking nits but Franz Ferdinand was the heir to the throne of the Austro- Hungarian Empire.”

And not 2 out of every 100 Americans could have told you who he was 60 days prior to war breaking out.

That’s true. I wouldn’t have quibbled if quibbled if you’d used the word obscure (to Americans). He just wasn’t a minor archduke that’s all.
