For far too long, the Iranian-backed Houthi movement was left to meddle in Yemen. Now, while one realizes that war should always be used as a last resort and that every effort to use political and peaceful means should be exhausted; the reality is time after time, Iran and its agents continue to prove that they can’t be trusted and that they will always behave as the rogue players that they are.
Saudi Arabia and its allies – who up until now include all GCC states (excluding Oman), Jordan, Egypt, Sudan, Morocco and Pakistan - answered the call with Operation: Decisive Storm which was inaugurated overnight under the supervision of the Saudi Defense Minister Prince Mohammad bin Salman, who alongside Deputy Crown Prince and interior minister Prince Mohammad bin Nayef were personally following up on military action at the command center.
By sunrise, several senior Houthi leaders were already targeted and eliminated as the Royal Saudi Air Force took complete control of the Yemeni airspace.
Let us not forget that the Houthis - whose official slogan is ‘Death to America’ and are known for their U.S. flag burning practice - are agents of the world’s biggest terrorist regime in Tehran.
Indeed, the Iranian regime supports both Shiite and Sunni terrorist groups (according to U.S. State and Treasury departments, key al-Qaeda financiers and planners reside and work from Iran) which are the main source of upheaval and instability across the region, particularly in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen. It was not surprising that the Iranians condemned the military response in Yemen as a “military aggression.”

@SenJohnMcCain on why Saudis didn’t provide US early warning on #Yemen strikes. “They believe we are siding with Iran.”
They got that one right.
Exactly. Good luck to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the Gulf States in de-Iraning Yemen...
Cannot bring up this link to the story. Have tried also to do it on Twitter.
Anybody know why not?
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit popcorn.
after posting I could not bring up the link I retried it and suddenly it came up.
So even Saudi Arabia can see through Obama. Maybe that’s what Obama meant when he said he will have one of the most transparent administrations ever. Transparent in that you can see the evil he is planning right through him.
I am sort of disappointed with the name of this operation. Too Pentagon speak. I thought it would be be like “Operation Death to Shia Heretics”.
Obama claims he likes to play cards. He must be the worst poker player evah he is so transparent.
He probably cheats or throws a tantrum when he loses.
“Operation:Decisive Storm” sounds an awful lot like “Operation: Desert Storm”.
I wonder if it sounds cooler or has more symbolism in Arabic.
It is about time these Arab Sunni countries with their nice expensive Western weapons take them up for a spin.
We all believe that, or most do.
If the Saudis would just step up and fight their own war, this time....
The US mercenary army is no longer at their disposal.
It was pretty decisive, planned overnight. If Obama had anything to do with it, it would have been “Operation Indecisiveness”.
The Current Occupant certainly has a “tell” that almost lets the other players at the table see his cards through HIS eyes. In fact, they are probably reading his cards through the reflection off his eyeballs.
And they are not guessing wrong here.
