Taking The Houthis At Their Word: The Bill Saudi Arabia Doesn't Want To Read
Authored by Larry C. Johnson via Sonar21,Riyadh has a simple method for dealing with Houthi claims. It announces that its air defenses intercepted something, says nothing about everything else, and hopes the world changes the subject.

Not because Saree is a paragon of precision. Military spokesmen everywhere, including in Washington, inflate their results.
