Saudis supporting al-Qaeda in the Yemen
#4
RE: Saudis supporting al-Qaeda in the Yemen
Look I realize that both of you assholes like to make up your own fantasies for Clinton to star in but she has really gotten so far up your asses that it is impacting your optic nerves.  The story you posted does not mention Secretary Clinton even ONCE. 

Further, far from being supplied by the Saudis the article makes it clear that the Yemeni Army withdrew from the area under discussion and let al-Qaeda help itself to whatever it found laying around.


Quote:Barely a week after Saudi Arabia launched “Operation Decisive Storm” against the Houthis in March last year, Yemeni army forces vanished from Mukalla’s streets and moved westward to combat zones, security officials and residents said.

The city’s residents were left defenceless, allowing a few dozen AQAP fighters to seize government buildings and free 150 of their comrades from the central jail. The freed included Khaled Batarfi, a senior al Qaeda leader. Pictures appeared online of Batarfi sitting inside the local presidential palace, looking happy and in control as he held a telephone to his ear.

Tribal leaders in neighbouring provinces told Reuters that, in the security vacuum, army bases were looted and Yemen’s south became awash with advanced weaponry. C4 explosive and even anti-aircraft missiles were available to the highest bidder.

I'm used to both of you making shit up but expect to be called on it when you do!
