#2 O had no intention of supporting Yemen. Throw some special forces at the situation, then when things go south you can say that you tried. Nice cover. And you have a compliant MSM to carry your water. Give away Yemen and esp Aden and you made the south end of the Suez Canal much more dangerous.

#4 Power sharing. There's the key phrase - it gives the IRANIAN backed faction access to power, something they were shut out of. I swear, the more I look, the more I see a pro-Iranian tilt to Obama's actions.

#7 CNN AM > repor that the Houthi Rebs are supported by the Yemeni Army, which iff true may be a major factor in why the Bammer pulled out our SpecFors.

A "rethink/reset" of Bammer Policies, USDOD-State response scenarios to the Yemeni Crisis may be taking place in Washington for the moment.

Moreso iff the Pentagon believes an Anti-Shia/Iran Pakistan-Saudi Nuclear Alliance is possible in the near-term - IOW, AN INTER-MUSLIM MILPOL, POSSIBLY NUCLEAR CONFRONTATION [TacNuke] ON THE ARABIAN PENINSULA + PERSIAN GULF???

#8 ION Iran this AM ...

* PHILIPPINE STAR > CIA DIRECTOR: IRAN GENERAL [IRGC Quds MGEN Suleimani] DESTABILIZING [to US-Coalition led] EFFORTS IN IRAQ.

Wild Cards.

* TOPIX > ANTI-ISIS [Sunni, Shiite]MILITIA LEADERS: IRAQ SHOULD TRUST IRAN, NOT US [Obama], IN ISLAMIC STATE FIGHT.

UH, UH, D *** NG IT, FINALLY - SOMETHING BOTH SUNNIS + SHIAS CAN AGREE ON???

gut nuthin.

Ally andor Enemy, everybody wants Iran, NOT Obama???

Its what happens when the USA = Obama doesn't give the support that was promised or expected to anti-Uncle Muammar [Libya], anti-Mubarak [Egypt], anti-Babay Assad [Syria], anti-Putin [Ukraine], + anti-ISIS [Iraq-Syria]Rebels - THOSE STILL TO COME???

BAD FOR PRE-9-11 "SOLE" SUPERPOWER AMERICA + PRE-9-11 IRAN, GOOD FOR POST-9-11, "WEAK/DECLINING" OWG CO-SUPERPOWER AMERIKA + AMERIKA'S POST-9-11 OWG CO-SUPERPOWER SIBLING RISING IRAN.

* WORLD MILITARY FORUM > IRAN "ROMMEL" IRGC QUDS MGEN. SULEIMANI COMMANDS OVER 30,000 TROOPS AGZ THE ISIS IN TIKRIT BATTLE.
