That’s Bloomberg the magazine, rather than Michael Bloomberg, its owner, though considering Mikey’s recent claim that China isn’t a dictatorship, the confusion might be understandable.
The US media has largely run non-stop Iranian and Qatari propaganda on Yemen, including false claims that bombing the Houthis, Islamic terrorists backed by Iran, who have been stealing food from the civilian population, caused a famine.
Bloomberg’s headline though is a new low. “Trump’s Big Bet on Saudis Goes Bad as Ragtag Yemen Rebels Resist”.
Is “ragtag rebels” really an accurate description of…
1. An Islamic terrorist group whose motto is “Death to America, Death to Israel, a Curse Upon the Jews.”?
2. An Iranian backed terror group that captured much of a country and was able to fire cruise missiles at US destroyers.
But the propaganda just won’t stop.

‘Ragtag rebels’ is a surrender to the temptation of alliteration. ‘Ragtag ranting religious retards’ is, of course, an alternative I would suggest. Clowns!
CogitoErgoSum says
Yeah, they are ragtag rebels who will kill you because of your religion.
James Lincoln says
These two very dangerous cruise missiles fired from Yemen at US warships was not the work of “Ragtag rebels”…
Please see the link below to the US Naval Institute regarding the serious incident:

Thanks for that link, James.
Yep, we have clueless Westerners again, one way or another, trying to deflect attention from the ultimate problem, the ultimate problem being Islam itself.
Infidel says
Actually, Yemen is now a 3-way, rather than a 2-way civil war: yeah, there are the Houthis on one side, but in South Yemen, there are now 2 combatants:
– Islah (Reform) backed by Riyadh
– Southern Transitional Council – backed by UAE
Which is even more fantastic. We should sell weapons to the Emirates as well, so that a civil war can spread to the south too, and all of the powers – Saudi Arabia, Emirates and Yemeni parties can all be locked in that civil war

I have a better idea:
“Death to islamic terrorists and haters like this guy!”

Bloomberg Calls Islamic Terrorists Who Chant “Death to America, Death to Israel” “Ragtag Rebels”

Im living in the EU for a yera working on a book. I see CNN and Bloomberg daily since they are the two english news outlets unless I can sometimes stream One America News. These guys are more liberal than the US version. All of EU is running scared and hate our President since he backs Brexit. When the Brits do leave and they will on their own terms, The UN globalization plan of forced migration of useless Muhammadan Leaches into Western Europe will dry up more quickly. The only reason these beggars trek all across the EU nations is to get bigger welfare benefits from the Brits. Post Brexit if Boris Johnson can hold his own against his wimpy Parliament and the EU criminals: The euro will fail and all the welfare countries like Greece, Crete, Italy and others will no longer be able to have the Bank of England forced to bail them out. EU and the UN is scared shiftless that they will soon have to pay their own way. They are like the illegals in America who are having welfare taken away, Already 8 of the 22 EU nations have come to their senses and shut their borders.
