Wise Saudi Decision? When to Hold ‘em, When to Fold ‘em……..
“Saudi King Abdullah announces victory over the Yemeni Houthis inside his country, their ejection, and orders his army not take another step inside Yemeni territory…….. He told a pro-Saudi daily alseyassah that the goal was to eject the rebels from his country And that the goal was achieved………..”
A wise decision; he knew when to hold ’em and when to fold ‘em. Unless his air force continues to bomb inside Yemen territory…….
However, Saudi media (Alarabiya) report today that clashes have broken out between the Houthis and another tribe in northern Yemen. Which tells me that Saudi money can still be a very potent weapon in an impoverished tribal region: as potent as it is in Washington and in other Western capitals.
Cheers and Happy Holidays
