WILLIAM BOARDMAN: Yemen is a nation under siege from the air with daily
bombings. The Saudis and their allies control the air over Yemen, which
has almost no air force and almost no
air defenses. Nothing flies in or out of Yemen without Saudi permission,
which is rarely given, even for food or medical supplies. The Saudi air
force could not function without American support. US military forces
select targets, provide intelligence, re-fuel Saudi jets in mid-air and
repair them on the ground. Every bomb that falls on Yemen has American
fingerprints on it, especially the cluster bombs (another war crime)
made in America.
