Foreign ministers from 22 Arab countries agreed to form a unified military force on Thursday, approving a draft resolution designed to counter growing security threats in the region.
"The Arab ... ministers agreed on adopting an important principle, which is forming the unified Arab military force. The task of the force will be rapid military intervention to deal with security threats to Arab nations," Arab League Secretary General Nabil Elaraby told reporters after the meeting, Reuters reported.
The agreement, which Elaraby described as “historic,” came shortly after airstrikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen, led by Saudi Arabia and its Arab allies, in an effort to check what is seen as Iran’s growing influence in the region. Iran has demanded that all military actions in Yemen be immediately halted, and said it would take necessary measures to control the crisis there. The United States has said it provided “logistical and intelligence support” to the Saudi-led coalition attacking the Houthi positions. The decision to launch the airstrikes was made without significant involvement from Washington, according to the Daily Beast.

That is the question the whole world is asking.
Not on the side we’re supposed to be on, which is Israel’s side.
Won’t surprise me if it comes out eventually that Obama’s a Twelver and believes in that whole apocalyptic bent that World War III must start to get the Mahdi to appear.
Obama has things so screwed up over there that generations will be dealing with his train wreck.
He’s had us backing Iran in Iraq and Syria. He’s got us going against them now in Yemen.
Obama doesn’t know which way to go. Republicans should stand up and say no way we can have a deal with Iran right now.
From Obama; “Hey, those dudes stole my Coalition, who do they think they are?”
Oh, he knows which way to go. If the road sign says “Abyss”, he floors the accelerator.

We are still dealing with the damage jimmy carter incompetence and flawed thinking caused. The damage Obama has caused will be much much worse.
An all out Sunni Shiite war can cause conflicts in the US and Europe thanks to progressive immigration policies.
Things are speeding up!
The Muslims need an all out war between the two major factions to give the world a breather from their killing in other parts of the world. I hope they keep it going for a long time!
No, actually you shouldn’t want one side or the other to win. You should just want them to be perpetually fighting each other!
We’re on neither side and we’re on both sides, at the same time ... and that’s exactly the right place for us to be!
Abraham’s fault.
The best thing about an Muslim on Muslim war is that they’ll both trade brutality for brutality — something the west would never do.
Who will be the overall commander?
Popcorn please with extra butter.
I didn’t say I wanted either side to win, just that I hope the black rock glows with radioactivity. I have a very unpleasant history with Mohammedans. I’m also a lot less confident that you that this three continent explosion is not going to spin out of control. We shall see...
We followed your strategy during the Iran/Iraq war about ten decades ago.
That kept the Iranian Mullahs and Saddam’s thugs busy killing each other for years.
“Since Obama is negotiating right now to give Iran Nukes while simultaneously fighting the IRAN Backed terrorists in Yemen, who’s side are we on?????”
I noticed that as well.
Iran is playing the guy like a drum. This will get them even more concessions.
Obama is on Obama’s side.
