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.

Bad news. Very ominous. Hillary has arranged this, it is military action in support of her Saudi friends, who are not doing well in their war of aggression in Yemen.

No Aussie. And I doubt you're familiar with any of these performance cars like these that are in my garage:

BMW 325i, Mercedes Benz 350SLK, Corvette Stingray C7 Z51, Mercedes Benz E350.

Yeah, she’s wrapped field-fence around our axle in Libya, Syria and Egypt. May as well get top-centered on the Saudi peninsula as well.
Oh yeah, another colorful metaphor: she might want to hit that stoopd re-set button too since the Rooskies are as skittish now as whores in church.

PS After she finished clucking and preening her feathers over her vast foreign policy experience last Sunday night, Trump replied, “Yeah. And it’s all bad.”
He has a way of getting to the crux of a problem.

Would Obama, the uniparty establishment & the CIA start a war with Iran or Russia just to help Hillary.....? Of course!

No offense but I would take by dad’s red 1954 Chevolet pick-up truck over your exotics. They’re nice vehicles.

Is your family independently wealthy, and you inherited your wealth?

Are you in high-end real estate sales, or own a business?

Or did you pull a John Kerry? ;-)

Just curious. Very few people can afford one such car, let alone three or more at the same time.

(does a double take)

Or are you related to The Donald?

The US military has been mercenaries for the Sauds since George 1 invaded Kuwait.

What about a week later.

These radar sights should have been ground glass the minute the missiles went hot.

Someone needed a boost in their ratings

if you actually think that an antitank missile took out HSV2 you are
seriously misguided.

Should have let the USS Mason launch the strike.

Nothing was 'taken out.' It was holed, then burnt to the waterline. Keep suckin' down that Pentagon agitprop, Byron

Should have launched some micro-nukes or chemwar to keep them from rebuilding or trucking in new radar a day later and firing another missile. They can find radar sets a lot easier than we can rebuild ships, especially now that our industrial capacity is the size of Obama’s dong and shrinking.
