This is big news. Saudi Arabia and a Sunni coalition (UAE, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait) has now begun bombing Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen:
AL ARABIYA – Warplanes of the Royal Saudi Air Force bombed the positions of Yemen’s Houthi militia and destroyed most of their air defenses, Al Arabiya News Channel reported early on Thursday.
Arab Gulf states had announced that they have decided to “repel Houthi aggression” in neighboring Yemen, following a request from the country’s President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi.
In their joint statement Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait said they “decided to repel Houthi militias, al-Qaeda and ISIS [Islamic State of Iraq and Syria] in the country.”
The Gulf states warned that the Houthi coup in Yemen represented a “major threat” to the region’s stability.
It also accused the Iranian-backed militia of conducting military drills on the border of Saudi Arabia, a leading member of the GCC, with “heavy weapons.”

Could this be defined as “all hell breaking loose”?
Or am I just being overly dramatic?
Boy, imagine if keystone was signed about three years ago?
Now they should hand Obama the bill and let him veto it.
LOL! I would fill up my car tomorrow.
Houthi official says Yemen strikes will set off “wide war”
Yep.
This is going to be huge. They are bombing now what is the de facto government of Yemen. Yemen will now declare war on Saudi Arabia. Who gains from the madness that ensues.
ISIS
The key: does Iran become overtly involved in support of the rebels? If that happens, it’s on.
There’re gonna be a lot of friendly fire incidents...
No one thought so either when some minor Austrian Archduke managed to get his dumb ass killed by being stupid back when Woodrow Wilson was President.
