On Jan. 14 at approximately 4:45 p.m. (Sanaa time), an anti-ship cruise missile was fired from Iranian-backed Houthi militant areas of Yemen toward USS Laboon (DDG 58), which was operating in the Southern Red Sea. The missile was shot down in vicinity of the coast of Hudaydah by U.S. fighter aircraft. There were no injuries or damage reported.

They aren’t a state actor so it’s not an act of war. It’s like ISIS or Bin Laden attacking us.

Are these Mooslims simply retarded or something. It's like Gaza killing a couple thousand Israelis then crying about Israel fricking them in the arse too hard.

Let's poke the US and use drones and fire missiles at them. Sounds like a nice way to get fricked in the arse yourselves.

Seems to me that's a very quick way to get yourself killed. Or at least it should be.

They had better hope it was launched from a mobile platform. Because if not, I imagine we're going lob some evil right back down the barrel.

The Houthis are a rebel group that controls roughly half of Yemen, including the capital city. They are a proxy of Iran. The neocons have been wanting a war with Iran for decades.

North Yemen is a country, it just doesn’t have official recognition

When you have an absolute spineless administration in place, this is what you get. Don't forget we ordered our troops to clean up an airbase for the Taliban before they would take over.

Joe and Hunter are probably trying to figure out how they can make money off of this.

You say this as if "neocons" are inventing a reason, and as if Iranians haven't directly funded the killing of Americans.
