US strikes in Yemen risk wider entanglement in civil war

Breitbart: WASHINGTON (AP) — The direct U.S. entry into Yemen’s civil war, for now a limited response to rebel missile fire on a U.S. Navy ship, risks a wider entanglement that could leave the next American president embroiled in a yet another unwanted Middle East war with broad implications for the region and beyond.

Obama administration officials from the White House, Pentagon and State Department all argued that Thursday’s cruise missile strikes on radar sites controlled by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels were strictly a self-defense measure and not an escalation in military involvement.

“These strikes are not connected to the broader conflict in Yemen,” Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said. “We want to make crystal clear that if you threaten our forces, you threaten our ships, we will be prepared to respond, as we did in this case.”  MORE

  1. Why in the hell are we supporting Saudi Arabia and other ME countries in this war against another ME country? The GD Saudis have spent god knows how many billions funding Wahhabbi terrorism across the globe. They are responsible for 1,000s of deaths because of that.

    We are providing intel to these murderers along with direct and indirect assistance. Fuck this. It going to draw us into the middle of another moslim killing moslim conflict. Let these mofos do their own killing.

    Are we ever going to learn?

  2. I want to know why Rodham hasn’t returned Barky’s pet fly yet! Did it die of food poisoning when it landed on her face or was it carrying the wrong message from Barry and she had it commit suicide by aiming two bullets to the back of its tiny head!

  3. This is what happens when the Navy runs from the Iranians or surrenders without a fight. Bombing a few radar sites is a joke. Bomb the hell out of them and stop being pussies.
