#1 The Houthis are losing, that's why they whine.

You have to be pretty desperate to need the UN to save you. There just isnt anyone lower than the UN in muscle and teeth. Appealing to the UN is a sure sign you are toast.

The Iranians are blowing money down a wazoo with the Houthi. NObody cares what happens to the Houthis. They have "sucker" written all over their bare to the breeze. Like the Palestinians...its pure USE ME.

When you are stupid you dont last long. The Houthis are stupid. In the middle of nowhere and no air cover and a sign painted on them. You know you are cooked when even the Saudis who hold each others hands and admire themselves in the shine off their greasy noses are kickin' your can.

#2 Iran is spending money on the Houthis, Hamas, Hizb'allah, Shiites in Iraq, and who knows where else, not to mention their pursuit of nuclear weapons... while at home the Green protests continue. And as I recall, at the current price of oil they lose money on every barrel they pump, although I may be wrong about that last.

#3 Think of what the Green movement in Iran could be doing had the Republican congress actually FUNDED the bill they passed in 2002 (?) to develop resources for the opposition in Iran and the Dems hadn't slashed what other funding we had when they took over Congress in 06.
