Wow. They Houthis are on a roll. After playing tuck n' cover for a month, they are able to muster this measure. Meanwhile, the mullahs must be jumping with joy.

Wonder what the Saudi led coalition do these next coming weeks.

The Sunni-Shia war is in full swing, and Obama is supporting... BOTH sides. Insanity or machiavellian brilliance? ... you decide.

Obama is supporting... BOTH sides.

To be fair, he's not supporting either side. Or do you have some evidence that the US is providing support?

Burning Bush, I know that you are unhappy that Russia has failed to bring Ukraine back into the Russian motherland fold, but I also know you are sufficiently intelligent not to conflate a failed state (Yemen) with one that has different aspirations than its traditional overlords, regardless of the feelings of a border minority. Better luck next time.

At any rate, Yemen is living on borrowed time as it is as its water will soon be depleted (they'll really go nuts when they have to give up their oh at trees). Let's let the Saudis take responsibility for the inevitable chaos.

By not condemning Saudi Arabia for their bombing (not approved or sanctioned by the UN) of a sovereign country, the US is giving tacit approval.

If you're not with us, you're against us, right?

Yemen rebels fire into Saudi Arabia

Let me correct the headlines......

They should read.......

Iranian led rebels invade Saudi Arabia in an effort to stop the bombings but fail!

Meanwhile Tuesday, member states of Gulf Cooperation Council held a summit in Riyadh where French President Francois Hollande threw his country’s support behind the Saudi-led offensive in Yemen. During his opening speech, he said that France will not hesitate in carrying any action, even militarily, for the sake of its allies.

Why is Hollande supporting the ISIS guys in Yemen while they are doing terror attacks in France and he is fighting them in Syria? Makes any sense? And what right does a Saudi autocracy have to reimplement "democracy" in Yemen. Yemen, a "democracy" where the notoriously unpopular fugitive prime minister got 99% of the "democratic" vote, being as democratic as North Korea.

All the while Saudi Arabia is spreading Wahhabist islam, sponsoring terrorism all over the world, dividing muslims, blowing civilians up, committing religious genocide in the middle east. All of this with our oil money and our weapons! And at the same time we fight ISIS which is just a direct branch of wahhabi ideology. Ever heard of Iran attacking other countries? But they are supposed to be the bad guys.
