A U.S. Navy destroyer was targeted on Wednesday in a failed missile attack from territory in Yemen controlled by Iran-aligned Houthi rebels, the second such incident in four days, the U.S. military said.
The USS Mason fired defensive salvos in response to at least one missile which did not hit the ship or caused any damage as it operated north of the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the Pentagon said. Indications are that the second salvo brought down an incoming missile, one U.S. official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

How close to shore was the vessel?
Has the U.S. Navy been ordered to give support to Saudi Arabia by blockading supplies going to the Houthi? While at the same time we sell the Wahabbi ISIS supporting regime anything it wants?
If so, it’s another idiotic Clusterf***.
A quick check reveals why the Navy is there:

Keep in mind that the Houthi are being bombed mercilessly by the ISAS loving Saudis.
Hmmm... so the U.S. Navy is now the mercenary fleet for the House of Saud!
Disgusting!
ISIS
It kills me to say it, but: Hammer:Nail:Impact.
But U.S. officials have told Reuters there are growing indications that Houthi rebels, despite those denials, were responsible for Sunday’s incident.

The US is part of the “Saudi-led Coalition” fighting Yemen. We are in an undeclared unConstitutional war with Yemen.
Don’t be surprised if the shoot back.

Would it be rude to point out that these Houthi missiles are paid for out of Obama’s billion dollar gift to Iran?
iran should have been rubblized in 1979.
12 miles when the first missile attack occurred. Not sure of others.
