Saudi jets bolster US drone attacks on Yemen | |
2013-01-04 | |
Saudi Arabia has provided fighter jets to assist the United States with its drone strikes against Al-Qaeda targets in Yemen, the London Times reported on Friday.
The Times cited a US intelligence source as saying that "some of the so-called drone missions are actually Saudi Air Force missions". US drone attacks in Yemen nearly tripled in 2012 compared to 2011, according to the Washington-based think tank New America Foundation, and for the first time totalled more than in Pakistan last year. | |

#3 ...Some - SOME - of the RSAF's stick actuators are pretty good, at least as good as our guys. One of 'em got two kills during Desert Storm, tho there's some evidence to indicate he was handed the second one to make the RSAF look good. On the other hand, they never forget they're Muslim first and 21st century human beings second. During DS, a bunch of Saudi Tornado crews had a bad habit of salvoing their bombs into the desert rather than drop them on a fellow Muslim. Mike |

#1 While I sure the Kingdoms AF is just honky dory, there's something way, way, way back in my mind that sez: Those fuckers couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel. Yes, that would be Lyndon |
