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.”

Are those plane counts their total available force, or how many they put up in this attack?

The ONLY good thing about Obama’s lack of support for the war on terrorism is that it has forced some of our “allies” to actually do some of the work.
On the down side, had he not squashed the “Green Revolution” in Iran shortly after stepping into office none of this would have been needed. The domino's were starting to fall in the right direction.

Root for both sides!
Jihadis killing Jihadis is good for us!
Always remember that some 14 of the 19 911 jihadis were Saudi’s!

Other Gulf states consider intervention...

If Iran gets a military foothold on the Arabian peninsula, there is going to be a major war. The Iranians want to conquer Mecca and Medina and have a position to attack Israel.

I’m surprised that the muslim terrorist supporter 0dumb0 hasn’t yanked the Saudis & the Sunni coalition back, in order to protect his muslim terrorist factions!

IF 0 ever decides to call Bibi to mend fences with him, I hope Bibi’s second in command tells him, he can’t be bothered right now he’s forming new alliances.
