Biden calls Houthis terrorists, then declines to give them ‘irrelevant' official designation
 [NY Post] Wouldn't wanna piss of his Iranian (and Kalorama) Masters President Biden labeled the Houthi movement as "terrorists" on Friday but refused to give the Iranian-allied militants an official terror group designation — calling the difference "irrelevant." Biden was asked about the "terrorist" label just hours after he ordered airstrikes on Yemen in response to Houthi attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea. "Are you willing to call the Houthis a terrorist group, sir?" a journalist asked the 81-year-old commander in chief as he visited small businesses in Allentown, Pa. "I think they are," Biden replied. In a subsequent exchange, Biden dismissed the need for an official designation following the joint US-UK bombardment, which Houthi leaders said killed five people. The offensive prompted a large anti-American rally in Yemen’s capital Sanaa. Posted by: Frank G 2024-01-13 |
