U.S. Troop Deployment To Yemen Has Little To Do With Al-Qaeda

U.S. Troop Deployment To Yemen Has Little To Do With Al-Qaeda

 

The U.S., which has all but ignored the catastrophic humanitarian
aspects of the Yemeni conflict, is now stepping up its involvement by
sending troops to the war-torn nation.


Masked as an extension of the fight against al-Qaeda, the deployment is
about the Saudis, Iran, and building U.S. regional power.
