This is important ...

Pretty rare that I would agree with Bernie Sanders on anything, but he is one of the few Senators outside the Uniparty, and that means he does speak truths sometimes that few on our side dare.

I gather this is to not support the Saudis.

An absolutely disastrous,pro Iranian, stupid move.

Donald Trump supported Saudi and had an excellent relationship with them against Iran.

Anti war my a$$.

U.S. president confirms deployment of troops in Yemen

In a letter addressed to Congress earlier this week, President Joe Biden confirmed that the U.S. has deployed troops to Yemen with the aim of battling extremist groups and continuing military support for the Saudi-led coalition.

“A number of American military personnel are deployed in Yemen,” the U.S. president said,

"to conduct operations against Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and ISIS, as well as providing military advice and information to the Saudi-led coalition.?

According to Biden’s letter, the U.S. military will continue to work “closely” with “partner regional forces” in their operations against Ansarallah.

The letter adds that the U.S. military presence in Yemen is “to protect U.S. interests by providing air and missile defense capabilities and support the operation of United States military aircraft,” but stressed that the U.S. role in the country is “non-combatant” and is for “defensive purposes.”

Although the U.S. president previously vowed to end offensive support for the Saudi-led coalition amid growing criticism in Congress of Washington’s role in the brutal war on Yemen, the letter confirms the White House’s continued support for Saudi Arabia and its allies.

Since the start of the war, Washington has provided direct military, intelligence, and logistical support to the Saudi-led coalition.

According to a report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), the state and defense departments have both turned a blind eye to the coalitions killing of civilians in Yemen.

In particular, the report highlights that the deadliest attacks by the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen were carried out by using combat jets and munitions supplied and maintained by U.S. companies, with the approval of the State Department and the Pentagon.

According to the UN, the war in Yemen has killed at least 233,000 people directly and indirectly due to an increase in the prevalence of diseases as a result of attacks on health facilities and the widespread shortage of food.

Before entering office, Biden promised to end U.S. support for the Saudi-led coalition, but after his election, the U.S. president reneged on his promises and continued with the same Trump-era policies that have enabled the brutal attacks on the people of Yemen.

Not sure I am against this involvement. It's not a major commitment that would quickly escalate onto a wider problem.

Anyone have more information about this deployment, that might sway me?

[Honest Nigerian]

After the 2008 bank bailout passed and Too-Big-To-Fail was affirmed I realized that those dirty dogs in both houses of Congress don’t care what is good for me.
The reports I heard at the time and have seen in the years since: Opposition to that bailout was running AT LEAST 9 to 1. Yes! The majority of constituents who contacted legislators OPPOSED the Bailouts by overwhelming numbers.
You can decide if YOU want to spend time on this task.
Maybe your voice will make a difference?

It is so important that the primary information is missing.

THIS IS A WAR FOR AQAP

So, we should all know what AQAP is, that it is bad, and we should vote against it.

Shy then does the poster does not specify what AQAP refers to?

I am laughing. Like the voters can influence the politicians to stand up to the MIC. Yeah right. Good one! War is business and business is very good for the Globalists and DC insiders.

AQAP = Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula

And how are we involved?

Do we have troops involved?
Are we droning anyone?

[PIF]

Vote no and vote no - enough of this national suicide. Stand up, lying down only begets death.

[EBH]

NO. Absoolutely not.

The entire world is going to war and is going to be reset.

The last thing we need to try and do is sit this one out.

[TBP]

It’s interesting how conservztive foreign policy has come full circle. I was listening to the late, great Senator Robert A. Taft recently, and his foreign policy sounded like Trump’s. (Or more precisely, Trump’s sounds like Taft’s, since Taft came first.)

[rmlew]

You are supporting Sunni and Shi’ite Jihadis, including Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and have the the unmitigated gall to speak of treason?

[TBP]

They’ve never seen a country they didn’t want to attack.

[Palmetto State Conservative]

Thank you for your efforts to end our role in this tragic war. Untold numbers of children have suffered horribly. We’ve got to stop the deadly meddling that has become our national trademark, thanks in the last several decades to the NeoCons and the NeoLibs.

Bump for last minute callers. My calls have been made but I’m not optimistic about Scott and especially Graham. We all know how Graham will vote, barring a miracle.
