CORRECTION: In the original post of what follows, I incorrectly referred to Yemen as an African nation.
Yemen is located in Asia (which has 48 countries!) and is bordered by Saudi Arabia and Oman. I have no excuse for the error. I believe that with nations around the world so interconnected, for better or for worse, it’s vital to get geography right.
We made a great weapons deal with the blood-thirsty, de facto Saudi dictator Salman last year, and now we’re complicit in the intentional bombing of civilians in Yemen.
Here’s a national news story that got precious little attention last week with all the funeral news and the usual Mueller-Sessions bashing.
In the Asian nation of Yemen, a 500-ton American-made bomb was dropped on Yemen children by our friends the Saudis and a Saudi-led coalition.
This kind of intentional bombing of innocents is becoming all too routine by our Saudi “friends.”
You’ll recall that back in May of last year, Trump was in Saudi Arabia bragging in a speech about the massive $110 billion arms deal that he and his Saudi dictator friend Mohammed bin “Woo Woo” Salman signed.
Trump promised that he would help Salman and the Saudis get a “good deal” from our American weapons makers.
That’s one promise he actually followed through with.
For America, Trump said in the speech, “This means, jobs, jobs, jobs.”
At the time, the human rights division of the American Bar Association came out with legal guns blazing because the weapons were likely to be used for war crimes in Yemen.
The ABA warned that the deal would no doubt violate U.S. law.
And what do you know.
That massive, $110 billion deal for weapons, which created new American jobs, has America exporting Saudi terrorism to Yemen while.
We’ve known for months, by the way, that Arabia’s Salman and the boys are in cahoots with al Qaeada militants, who the Saudis used to kill for us, in the terrorism in Yemen.
So much for international law and order and a more peaceful world and all that bloody rot.
Meanwhile, our American military leaders including Defense Secretary Mattis — who in his public time was funeralizing with the McCain family last week — are working overtime to reign in the Saudi terrorism!
Somebody needs to put up one of those billboards outside the White House to say:
Your Terrorism: Not good, America.” — God
Interesting story. Can you tell me when the practice of titles, Clergy, and ranks began in the church? Is the title reverend a tradition of the religion or a New Testament principle? The honest question seeking an honest answer.
