(CNN)Saudi and allied warplanes struck rebels in Yemen on Thursday, with Saudi Arabia threatening to send ground troops and inserting itself into its southern neighbor's civil war, potentially opening up a broader sectarian conflict in the Middle East.

The swift and sudden action involved 100 Saudi jets, 30 from the United Arab Emirates, 15 each from Kuwait and Bahrain, 10 from Qatar, and a handful from Jordan, Morocco and Sudan, plus naval help from Pakistan and Egypt, according to a Saudi adviser.

The Egyptian state news agency on Thursday quoted Egypt's Foreign Ministry as saying Egypt's support also could involve ground forces.

How is it even moral to hand the Mideast on a platter to a nation whose leaders proclaim “Death to America”, call our country the “Great Satan” and are state sponsor’s of terrorism and Hamas and Hizbollah, and are building nuclear weapons? It can only be because Obama hates the US, just like his mentor Rev. Wright, red diaper baby Valerie Jarrett, and Michelle.
