| [CHRON] Yemen's Gulf Arab neighbors warned on Sunday that if the world fails to act against the Iranian catspaws who have toppled the Yemeni government, the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council will take whatever actions it deems necessary to maintain regional security and stability. The foreign ministers of the GCC did not elaborate on what measures the group might take, but called specifically on the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... Security Council to intervene. The Iranian catspaws, known as Houthis, control the capital, Sanaa, and recently forced the resignation of the president and dissolved the parliament. The ministers said that if the Security Council fails to adopt a resolution that would allow for the use of military force "over the Houthis' illegitimate' seizure of power," then the GCC states of Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , Kuwait, Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... , Bahrain, Oman and the United Arab Emirates might essentially intervene on their own. "In the case of failure to reach an agreement... the GCC member states will take measures which enable them to maintain their vital interests in the security and stability of Yemen," the foreign ministers said in a joint statement following their emergency meeting late Saturday in Saudi Arabia. They also demanded the implementation of a U.N. resolution that imposes sanctions against anyone "hampering the process of peaceful transition of power" and called for urgent action to ensure the safety of Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who resigned last month after the Houthis put him under house arrest. The GCC ministers met last month in a similar emergency meeting in Riyadh and condemned the Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to Americaâ„¢, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... takeover, calling it a "terrorist act" and a "coup against legitimacy." The council demanded the rebels withdraw from the presidential palace, fearing the Houthi offensive could fracture Yemen, bolster Shiite-led Iran in the region and threaten the Arabian Peninsula's stability.
