Al-Jubeir said the Houthis "have always chosen the path of violence." He declined to say whether the Saudi campaign involved U.S. intelligence assistance.
He said the Saudis "will do anything necessary" to protect the people of Yemen and "the legitimate government of Yemen."Hadi's departure illustrated how one of the most important American counterterrorism efforts has disintegrated, leaving the country wide open for what could be a deeply destabilizing proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran. The Saudi announcement only reinforced that notion.
What is really bad is we are going to be cutting a deal with Iran where they have unfettered access to capital to fight their side of the war. You will see the Houthis with heavy weapons and anti-aircraft missiles probably supplied by the Russians. That would mean Saudi ground forces will be mobilized and there will be a shooting war in Yemen between the Sunni and the Shiites. The world has become a much more dangerous place with Obama at the helm.
