With Syria making national headlines on a daily basis, it’s easy to forget about the Middle East’s other proxy war raging in Yemen.
For months, a Saudi-led coalition has been battling Iran-backed militants for control of the country which was effectively wrested from Mansour Hadi earlier this year when the Sauid-backed President was forced to flee to Riyadh as the Houthis advanced on Aden.
Sadly, Yemen has since descended into chaos, an embarrassment for the Obama administration which just a little over a year ago held the country up as an example of Washington’s successful counterterrorism efforts (no mention was made of the alleged covert cooperation between the government of Hadi’s predecessor Ali Abdullah Saleh and AQAP).

Gift to Iran from 0dumba? Wouldn’t surprise me.
Well after just 7 years as POTUS, Obama the Bastard had managed to commit a complete FUBAR. How much can the once proud United States of America take? Will the U.S. ever recover from the Obama the Bastard’s presidential term? Isreal must be reeling. Saudi Arabia has probably already purchased nukes from Pakistan.....yup, FUBAR.
Got to hand it to the pentagon, as I’m not sure how they keep tabs on which side we happen to be on at any given moment now...
[and 85-90% of the world's Muslims are Sunni, IOW, Shiites kill twice as many per capita]
So, who gets that boatload of goodies?
Since the grand coup on the United States in 2008, I doubt anyone of any standing who is American remains at the Pentagon.
That could be interesting.
Thanks for that.
Iran’s got more money to overthrow Egypt and Saudi Arabia now. That’ll be great for the US economy, assuming Hillary gets in and continues to take payoffs and blocking petroleum development in the US.
Especially if they throw down on one another, with much of the world’s oil supply having to pass between these two countries.
Question is, who will let theirs fly first?
My guess is Iran or one of the terrorist groups they're supporting.
Thanks for the links and maintaining them SC. It’s all progressing like a lead-in to a documentary.
Seems like a breach of the agreement to me.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Not another proxy war, all the same war
You would be correct; at least in the “Generals” category.
Each General was given a choice: Fire on Americans or Resign. I had this confirmed to me.
All the Generals that I was aware of who were very pro-American, have now resigned. Hopefully, they have not put their uniforms in mothballs yet; I think they’re going to need them again very soon.
Iran’s first targets are going to be Israel and America.
Better get prepared; and prepare your families.
My pleasure!
Thanks TFH. Iran’s never stopped attacking the US since they invaded our embassy.
