#2 In the past, many similar things took place. The opposition would stir things up until the bullets flew, and then instead of being left out, they would again join with Saleh to not be left out.

Seeing Iran's support for the Shite rebels and the houthi, accelerated this year. Just caught a plane headed for Yemen full of munitions yesterday.

This very well may be Saleh's last hurrah.

#3 The lack of a coherent foreign policy by the US (thank you Barack HUSSEIN Obama) has left a huge power vacuum in the Middle East.

The ever astute Mad Mullahs have done a very good job of filling the void and snatching the initiative in the progression of the Middle East off of Obama's plate.

One thing you could say about Bush and Rummy, they were always way out in front of the troglidytes, knuckle draggers and psychopaths that rule in the Middle East.
