Yemen continues to reel in the wake of Saturday’s Saudi Arabian airstrikes against a funeral home in the capital city of Sanaa, an attack which killed at least 155 people and wounded 525, according to reports. The identities of some of the slain are starting to be made public.
On Saturday, it was confirmed that Sanaa’s mayor was among the slain, and today officials are saying three generals allied with the Houthi forces, members of the Republican Guard and allies of former president Ali Abdullah Saleh,
Though Saudi officials claimed the strikes to be an accident, it targeted the funeral of the father of the Houthi-allied Interior Minister, and apparently was seen as an opportunity to attack a funeral at which a number of major Houthi figures could be expected to attend.
The attack, which was the single deadliest Saudi strike of the entire war, has fueled international criticism, and new calls for international investigations of war crimes in the Yemen conflict, but so far the Saudis have been very successful in preventing such investigations from happening.
The State Department will soon release a statement regarding the 500+ casualties: “We think the price is worth it.”
Life when you realize your nation is an evil empire:
— when you realize that your country would have gladly attacked this funeral, bragged about the 3 or 4 key figures killed, promoted one of them to being “number 2 in ISIS” or something like that, and then written off the hundreds of other innocent dead as collateral damage.
— when you realize this is just a typical Tuesday for Obama/Hillary
(remember, Tuesday is the day that Obama reveals his drone strikes and his “death panel” meets to discuss who to kill ….. and that something like 90% of the victims of Obama Death Panel are innocent civilians.
Vote for Hillary if you love reading about hundreds dead at funerals. She’s fully support every American attack on weddings and hospitals, and the Saudis were big contributors to the Clinton Foundation to get their weapons deals approved. If you vote for Hillary, you’ll get to read about lots of dead people at funerals and weddings over the next few years. And that’s if she’s acting “restrained” and not starting a major war with Russia and China at the same time.
