Arabia
Yemen conflict’s risk for Saudis: ‘Their Vietnam’
2015-04-10
Professional, weapons-grade handwringing at WaPo. Mixes in some news tidbits about Houthi control of Yemen, and a superb graphic demonstrating the extent of Houthi control right now. But the author of the piece believes Yemen will become "Saudi Arabia's Vietnam". That's all you need to know.

#2  Geez,

I guess the libs doing the handwringing forget that it was their own prohibitions on targeting, ROE, prohibiting military aid, and withdrawing military support that sent Viet Nam down the toilet and basically sent Iraq and A'Stan down the drain also.

I don't think KSA has any of that shit going on, so they have a chance. I also don't think the Soviet Union errr Russia is funding the opposition.

#1  'Their Vietnam'

Absolute rubbish !

If the SOD's run into any difficulties at all, they'll hire it down, and that's all I'll say about that.
