I'm just linking to this. I can't figure out who we're
for or against in Yemen. It varies by the hour.
In June 2006 Gen. John Abizaid, who headed the US Central
Command, sat down for a series of meetings with Yemeni President Ali Abdullah
Saleh and his interior minister. What happened in that meeting – Saleh
urging the US to help him assassinate a political rival – is useful background
to assessing US support today for a Saudi-led bombing campaign in Yemen.
Yeah, Saleh is on the side of the Houthis now.
May as well throw
this bookmark on, too.
I have read that another reason for the Iraq War was to
send a message to other Middle Eastern countries that America has the military
might to overthrow their countries and reshape the region.
The opposite occurred. [The Bush administration]
demonstrated we were incompetent.
