Russia Times ^ | 10-12-2016 | Russia Times

The US military has launched strikes on radar sites in Yemen, the Pentagon announced, according to Reuters. The move comes in response to failed attacks on the US navy destroyer USS Mason.

According to the Pentagon’s initial assessments, three “radar sites” in the Houthi rebel-controlled area of Yemen were destroyed in the attack.

The US military vowed to respond to “any further threat to our ships and commercial traffic,” according to a statement cited by Reuters.

Wasn’t a major part of the Yemen Army Houthi tribe members?

Anyway, the missiles and radars may have been operated by Iranians.

This is real news. CNN has become a tabloid worse than the Enquirer.

And to think it wasn’t that long ago Obama touted Yemen as a success story.

I hope Raytheon makes their radar sites... I have some stock. The rebels will have to buy some more.. probably with our taxpayer money.

Can Jake Tapper be trusted?

Jake Tapper gives the appearance of playing it straight, but he knows when to heel when his DNC masters yank his chain. In short, he's not to be trusted.

Wrong moron. You are projecting. Screen name Cobra64 represents my admiration and respect for the Shelby 1964 AC 289 FIA Cobra.

What utter nonsense. This is how got to the point where we're looking across the barbed wire to the Russian trenches. You should be annoyed that you're being lied to by Obama's tools! Not looking to excuse them.

Considering the very slight chance that you're genuinely uninformed, go to liveleak.com and type 'houthi' into the search box. First up, you will see no radar was needed, for last week's attack. The target was so close to shore that the missile strike was filmed on cellphone. It may well be that a Raytheon ATGM was used.

You are exactly correct. This action was in fact warranted but it never would have been necessary if Obama/Clinton/Kerry had not undermined Yemen.

No.

But thanks for asking, Jaden. Please tell daddy I really enjoyed his acting in I Am Legend.

Exactly.

If reporters are going to whore themselves out to politicians, then I don’t see why anyone should give them the time of day.

Tapper is tainted and corrupt. He should resign, and find a job elsewhere in some other profession.
