Interesting. Obomber is threatening to veto a bill passed unanimously in the House, a bill to allow US citizens to sue the Saudis for their part in the 911 attack. Meanwhile, Obomber and Hillary have destroyed Libya, Syria, continue to destroy Afghanistan and iraq, and now OBomber gave the Saudis the biggest arms sale in history so this could happen… Care to give us your conjecture as to where he's going with his foreign policy? ============ Study: One-Third of Saudi Airstrikes in Yemen Hit Civilian TargetsSome Civilian Targets Repeatedly Attacked by Jason Ditz, September 16, 2016 Print This \| Share This A new study conducted by the Yemen Data Project in cooperation with the Guardianhas revealed for the first time some shocking metrics related to the massive civilian death toll in Saudi airstrikes. The study found that roughly one-third of all airstrikes targeted explicitly civilian targets. That’s a best-case scenario, too. 3,158 non-military targets were confirmed out of a little over 8,600 raids. Another 1,882 of the strikes hit “unknown” targets, meaning all told the number of civilian targets could be in excess of half overall. The Saudi government has repeatedly denied ever attacking a single civilian target, and condemned the report as “vastly exaggerated.” Since previous reports have detailed that the vast majority of civilian casualties in the war are the result of Saudi airstrikes, however, this report makes a lot of sense, and explains why that was the case. Indeed, the study found that the Saudis had systematically targeted certain civilian targets on a regular basis, hitting a single open-air marketplace in Houthi territory at least 24 times over the course of the war, and bombing the same school building nine different times.

"Deplorables cheer chief deplorable" They don't like be called Deplorables. Maybe we should call them The Despicables.
