Houthi's are claiming they shot down a Saudi Helicopter today, as well as claiming to have captured a Saudi Tank and heavy self-propelled artillery piece, via pics and videos on Twitter.

Bout time the Saudis do some of the dirty work to clean up the neighborhood.

I’m a lil tired of our men and woman spilling their blood.

Sounds like the Egyptians are going to be the ones doing the “Heavy lifting”

If SA forgets to set the parking brakes on their tanks once they’ve completed the invasion, they may just end up owning Yemen outright.

“And you know they won’t have our ridiculous Rules of Engagement to deal with.”

Pretty sure we won’t be hearing any Media liberals whining about collateral damage, either.

... negotiations for power-sharing ...

Hopefully this is just a ploy and not a plan.

Indications are Pakistanis may join the Saudis. There are at least some Pakistani troops in Saudi, and at least some in the actual Saudi military.

Well I do think it’s officially official, the whole damn middle east is in flames.

Tell’ya what, Obozo will have some foreign affairs legacy following him round.

Jimmy Carter gave us...the Islamic Revolution, Obozo gave us WWIII.

There was a story earlier about the Iwo Jima (LHD-7) now being off the coast of Yemen.

I thought I read something that the Saudis use Pakistanis in their army.

I’ve known a few Saudis. Picturing them in combat is difficult.

CONSIDER THIS....

Full blown open war breaking out in the Middle East, and our U.S. Media is hardly covering it.
CNN is “All Airplane Crash-All the time” mode/

Look on the bright side, after WWIII the next war will be fought with sticks.
