Well the Muslim World War has begun in Yemen as the Saudi Arabians have decided not to wait until the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels attack them first. A slew of countries have aligned themselves against the Iranian threat, and they’re all gonna bring the party to Yemen.
Oh by the way, just to remind everyone from earlier today, the White House Press Secretary continued to call Yemen a “counter-terrorism success” for Obama’s foreign policy!
Cuz why not?
Yeah, “astounding”! Josh Earnest just believes that he dazzles the press with an un-ending stream of BS that they’ll get bored and look the other way. Maybe they will.
Meanwhile, here’s some Twitter reaction to the burgeoning war in the Middle East:

Look at it this way: our Mideast policy is balanced because it is random and apparently unguided by any strategy, history or ties.
