They've been rebelling against the U.S. backed dictator since he replaced the last U.S. backed dictator in Yemen.

Yemen is one of those places we have been exploding ordinance for a while. For some reason it isn't a newsworthy war. I suspect there are no 'good guys' to try and even dress up.

The last time this place had functional governance was when the Brits were running it in 1961.

“I thought that Yemen was a model for Obama’s endgame for Iraq.”

Did he not mention Yemen as an example in his speech the other day? What a loser from the same clown that wants to arm the “moderate” Muslims in Syria.

Nobody is better at killing muslims than other muslims. Remove all other religions in the world and they would be at each others throats in no time.

Looks like a market opportunity ... guns and ammo to both sides with bonus grenades and beheading knives for volume sales.

Sadly, truth is the first victim in histories. Most 3rd world countries were better off under the British.
