I remember how demRATs derided the Patriot missile system in the first golf war.
The Saudis have been having border skirmishes with Yemen going back decades. A friend was the U.S. advisor to a Saudi armored car brigade there going back probably 25 or so years ago. He had some interesting stories of armed encounters in the desert with Yemeni armor.
In the first such attack of the 10-week-old conflict in Yemen, Shiite Muslim rebels early Saturday launched three Scud missiles toward a large Saudi air base, the insurgents reported. The Saudis acknowledged the firing of one missile, which they said was shot down.
The use of Scud missiles by the Houthi rebels – and U.S.-provided Patriot missiles to deflect them – marked a significant escalation of the conflict, which has killed more than 2,200 people in Yemen and displaced about 1 million others, according to international estimates.
Where did the scuds come from?
Thank you, Obama for intercepting those Iranian freighters.
Oh, wait....
I read this that ISIS now controls a SCUD missile base in Yemin.
I don’t think they just found it just lying around.
