Two killed by Saudi shelling in Yemen [after Lindsey Graham visits MbS & Bibi]

Two killed by Saudi shelling in Yemen

The Saudi-coalition attacks came shortly after Mahdi al-Mashat, the head of the Supreme Political Council of the Ansarallah movement, accused the US of obstructing peace efforts in Yemen by exerting pressure on the countries of the Saudi-led coalition.

During a speech on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, Mashat stated that “the United States seeks to obstruct peace efforts and does not want to solve humanitarian issues. It is not in the interest of Riyadh and the region to bow to American pressure.”

The Tragedy of US Diplomacy Pushing for War, But Never Peace

Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

In a brilliant op-ed published in the New York Times, the Quincy Institute’s Trita Parsi explained how China, with help from Iraq, was able to mediate and resolve the deeply-rooted conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia, whereas the United States was in no position to do so after siding with the Saudi kingdom against Iran for decades. The title of Parsi’s article, “The U.S. Is Not an Indispensable Peacemaker,” refers to former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s use of the term “indispensable nation” to describe the U.S. role in the post-Cold War world.

Senate Leaves AUMF for Secret Wars in Force

On March 29, the Senate voted to repeal two Authorizations for the Use of Military Force, (AUMF’s), one passed in 1991 and another in 2002. The repeal now goes to the House. But those Authorizations are irrelevant to the present; they apply only to the Iraq war. But a third AUMF, passed in 2001, was left untouched. And that AUMF is the only one that has a bearing on the present moment, because it provides legal cover for the many US military operations, open and secret, around the world.
