    For sure, but never mind keep your dream alive.

    I was told on this forum, by somebody, that the POTUS decides, himself, which invasion plan to utilise. He, himself, selects from a list, presumably created by his "war machine planners", and the war machine, with it's ability to fight any number of wars simultaneously around the world, jumps into action. Maybe calling on it's prepositioned local bases/floating battle groups , it's recently delivered in country arms caches or if not using the USA's global reach to deliver the necessary battalions of armed, ready and capable personnel and the required intelligence, tactics and hardware for the use of the POTUS's pleasure.

    As the leader of the free worlds only super power can sign agreements "guaranteeing" assistance to it's puppet states.

    US is providing intelligence and logistical support to Saudi in bombing da fwk out of the Shia Houthi in Yemen.

    Saudi say that they're interfering in another state's politics to prevent outside interference there.

    Eh, come again?

    The whole deal's wrapped up in US antipathy to Iran (Shia), even after USA helped depose the Shah of Persia(Iran) and allowed the Shia takeover of the country.

    So what gives?

    Remember what the Masonic symbol means;

    The square and dividers, divide and rule.

    It appears that the POTUS has demanded that the Iranians, assisting the Iraqi Army etc. to corral ISIS in Tikrit, be removed from the battle as a condition of USA bombing Tikrit.

    The Iranian General has left the field of battle and many of the Iranian militias are withdrawing. Gossip suggests it's a way for the Iraqis to lose the battle and thus glowing ISIS fighters the ability to continue with their USA backed fighting.

    Others are already commenting that air strikes have been made by the POTUS's air force on the Iranian militias.

    http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2015/03/2...-withdraw.html

    "Army Gen. Lloyd Austin, the head of U.S. Central Command, which oversees operations in Iraq, told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday that the United States had insisted that the militias and their Iranian advisers, including top Iranian commander Gen. Qassem Suleimani, withdraw from the battle before the U.S. would agree to launch airstrikes. Suleimani, a once shadowy figure who’d become an increasingly public presence in Iraq, left the Tikrit area over the weekend and may have returned to Iran."

    Iraqi Shiite militias balk at offensive if U.S. airstrikes are involved - The Washington Post

    https://twitter.com/EjmAlrai/status/581169380597342208

    https://twitter.com/EjmAlrai/status/581396614058795008

    "The awesome reconnaissance capabilities the U.S. air force uses and its expensive precise weapons managed to directly hit the "friendly forces" which are laying the siege on Tikrit. Twice within less than 24 hours? Who will believe that these direct hits were made in error and are just collateral damage?"

    Indeed.

    You should be old enough not to believe everything people tell you. Especially not on web fora.

    The President can surely impose his own restrictions and or limitations but it would be highly unusual to go against his generals advise.

    that Somali lady who gave us the story of the horror of FGM in her home country
    after fleeing to Amsterdam; now living in America.
    has written a book on what Islam needs to do to become peaceful.
    was her name Ashri ?
    Anyway she is a truly brave and intelligent lady.
    Saying stuff that will upset the hate preaching imams.
    she may have a fatwa placed on her head now.

    No problems, Billy. She has nothing to worry about. Looper says fatwas don't exist. I wish her well, anyway.

    Um once again you are incorrect. The US is not in place to invade Yemen and is not involved in the conflict there. .
    Not involved ???

    Some memory span there

    Apart from his occasional brain haemorrhage, Bsnub usually sees thing with some logic involved

    Maybe he has found himself another Ukraine here, with a self made home side to cheer on

    Obviously I was speaking hypothetically about a "dream" solution. Everyone wants the oil, which is why there is so much interest. Not really rocket science, is it?

    I can still hope the US keeps a minimalist attitude when it comes to air support and boots on the ground. It appears there is an arab coalition being formed to fight the threat in Yemen, so I will wait with baited breath.

    America will create more problems for themselves by maintaining all sides of these conflicts - have a history of such self-serving foreign policy and militarism ventures.

    The backlash will be severe.

    It matters not.
    They're all in step with the same establishment club.

    Armaments.

    Much in demand, only a few suppliers, they hold the market and trade for what they want.

    What is the biggest threat to Yemen, Saudi Arabia and the region? The Houtis, ISIS, or al Qaeda? I feel that Saudi Arabia and the Arab coalition has made a poor choice.
