Did Biden warn Houthis of attack before air strikes?
Informed sources told Sky News Arabia that the United States informed the Houthis before carrying out air strikes on their sites in Yemen.
We know from the Wall Street Journal that the Houthis were prepped for the attack.
Maritime executives have been told by Western diplomats that targets would likely include missile and drone launch sites, radars and weapons depots around the Yemeni cities of Hodeida and Hajjah. Infrastructure in the capital San’a is also on the list of possible targets, the executives said
Not sure why maritime execs needed to be told this ahead of time. Why not just put out press releases of target locations?
Houthi forces have transported some weapons and equipment and fortified others in anticipation of a strike by the U.S. and its allies, a U.S. defense official and a person close to the Houthis said. The Houthis have stockpiled their missiles in bunkers built by former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh in San’a, a densely populated area, said the person close to the Houthis. This is the same playbook as Hamas, but there’s nothing unique there. It’s how Islamic terrorists operate.
But did the Biden administration tell the Houthis what our targets would be? It’s not such a crazy idea, because Obama used to tell ISIS where we would bomb. The war effort involved dropping leaflets warning that we would be bombing.
The Houthis claim that only 5 of their Jihadists were killed in the U.S.-U.K. airstrikes. Who knows if that’s true, but it would be a plausible number if they were told ahead of time to expect air strikes on particular targets.
That way Biden gets to put on a show of force without “escalating” the conflict. From the D.C. position, that’s a win-win. From the American position, it’s treason.
