Biden has fully showcased to the world’s jihadists just how weak and incompetent he is. Remember, shortly after he took office, he removed the terrorist designation that the Trump administration had placed upon the Houthis.
Trump supported Saudi Arabia against the common enemy of Iran. The only sensible response to Iran’s hardline Islamic regime was Trump’s tough sanctions. Now, in the absence of Trump and the appearance of American weakness, Iran and its proxies are in the clear to do as they wish. And let’s not forget the American military vehicles that are being transferred to Iran by the Taliban.
“Saudi Arabia blames Iran-backed Houthis for long-range attack – analysis,” by Seth J. Frantzman, Jerusalem Post, September 5, 2021:
Saudi Arabia and the coalition it leads in Yemen have blamed the Iranian-backed Houthis for targeting its Eastern Province with what Riyadh said was a ballistic missile.
“The Arab coalition has intercepted a ballistic missile launched from Yemen by the Iran-backed Houthis toward the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia,” Al Arabiya reported, quoting official sources.The Houthis were responsible for “deliberately targeting civilians and civilian objects,” the report said. “The coalition stressed that its forces are taking operational measures to protect civilians and deal with any threats.”The long-range attack appeared to be some 1,000 km. from Yemen, and an explosion or interception was reported near Dhahran and Dammam, which are close to each other in eastern Saudi Arabia, near Bahrain.This is an important area for Saudi Arabia’s energy sector and Aramco. In September 2019, Iran used cruise missiles and drones to attack the Abqaiq facility, which is also near Dammam. This time, Riyadh said the Houthis had carried out the missile attack.An “aggressive ballistic attack on the Eastern Region was intercepted [and] foiled,” a Saudi TV channel reported, citing the coalition. The incident took place before 10 in the evening, it said….

No one fears the frail, confused 98-pound weakling, the white-haired ghost in the White House who is visibly propped up by his handlers. Those unelected handlers ‘INSTRUCT’ him when to talk, what exactly to say and when to stop so he doesn’t reveal too much about his incompetence. The Ghost now has his microphone cut, so he will not be heard answering any questions and reporters are forbidden to get close enough to hear his meaningless word salad. He is most similar to El Cid, a corpse propped up on his horse and led around to convince the troops to continue fighting … but FOR WHOM are the Dem troops fighting … not for this hollow shell. They are being led by a shadow government of unelected apparatchiks behind the curtain. Who is this cabal which is the real ‘president’ of the United States? They were not elected, but they are now answerable to no one. Americans need to find out what in hell is going on.

Well said and, more importantly, true !

This whole world debacle with Islam has been caused by politicians who refuse to learn the basic political doctrines of Islam: 1) the hatred of the kafir 2) warfare against the kafir 3) enslavement of the kafir 4) subjugation of the earth under discriminatory Sharia law.
If our politicians understood that Islam is never satisfied with half-dominance, then they would start to find a way to debunk Islam in the minds of Muslims, for that is the only way they will ever stop trying to take over the world in the name of their 7th century Death Cult.
Islam is a self-declared enemy of world peace and says so repeatedly in the Koran, Sira and hadiths, as well as in the canonical Islamic commentaries and Sharia law manuals.
PMK says
Mortimer,
We’ll never be able to ‘debunk’ Islam. They’ll always have an answer to the arguments we make, such as the verses we cite in the Koran are ‘wrong translations’. All we can do is make it more costly for them to practice jihad than to refrain from violence. We should let them know they will pay the ultimate price: the total and complete destruction of Mecca. They can live peacefully or pray several times a day toward a hole in the ground. Let the choice be theirs.

Mortimer, you have never once said why you think that Muslims are going to listen to those they deem the ‘filthy Infidels’.

gravenimage,
I certainly respect mortimer’s encyclopedic knowledge of islam, but he will not answer your question because he is not able to.
PMK says
Biden may have removed the terrorist designation from the Houthis, but does anyone think that leaving that designation in place would have prevented this attack?
As for the Houthis targeting civilians, so what? All practitioners of Islam target civilians and civilian objects. No sympathy should be wasted on the Saudis. They’re merely reaping what they sowed centuries ago.
Infidel says
While Saudi Arabia deserves the declassification of those sections of the 9/11 report that had so far been classified, I do laud them for rebuffing Biden when he called on OPEC to pump out more gas to deal w/ rising gas prices after he had shut down the Keystone pipeline and fracking activity
Similarly, I wouldn’t blame the Saudis if they decided to throw their lot w/ Russia, after this meaningless turnaround. The time to have betrayed the Saudis was during the reign of King Abdullah. But ever since MbS became the de-facto ruler, Saudi Arabia has been largely on the right track. Now, if they suddenly decide to continue that but flip us the bird, I wouldn’t completely blame them

Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis launch another attack on civilians in Saudi Arabia

More Muslim-on-Muslim savagery.
