2015: Suddenly America denies its support for Saudi Arabia 2. Oktober 2015: Plötzlich leugnet die USA ihre
Unterstützung für Saudi-Arabien The
US themselves had declared they supported Saudi Arabian bombing of Yemen by
evaluating bombing targets, calculating blast areas of missiles and bombs.
The Pentagon was boasting that “the intelligence and advice we pass on Saudi
Arabia is sound, giving them the best options for military success consistent
with international norms and mitigating the potential for civilian
casualties”. The
results of that can be seen every day since six months. The hint to
international norms and avoiding civilian casualties is mere bragging, as the
public wants to hear that: The
results show, either the US military and intelligence are total failures or
absolutely don’t care or even want to charge civilians. So: Stop lying now.
These are and stay your killed, your injured, your
crimes. You cannot shirk responsibility. Die
USA haben selbst erklärt, dass sie die saudischen Bombardements im Jemen
unterstützen durch die Evaluierung vom Bombenzielen, die Berechnung von
Explosionsbereichen von Geschossen und Bomben. Das Pentagon prahlte, dass die
Aufklärung und die Beratung, die wir Saudi-Arabien geben, solide sind und
ihnen die besten Optionen für militärischen Erfolg geben, in Übereinstimmung
mit den internationalen Regeln und unter Reduzierung der Möglichkeit ziviler
Opfer.“ Die
Ergebnisse kann man jeden Tag seit über sechs Monaten sehen. Der Hinweis auf
internationale Normen und die Vermeidung ziviler Opfer ist reine
Schaumschlägerei, weil die Öffentlichkeit das hören will: Die
Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das amerikanische Militär und die amerikanische
Aufklärung entweder völlige Versager sind, oder sich überhaupt nicht um
zivile Opfer kümmern oder sogar zivile Opfer treffen wollen. Hört auf zu
lügen. Das sind und bleiben eure Getöteten, eure
Verwundeten, eure Verbrechen. Ihr
könnt euch nicht aus der Verantwortung stehlen.

And, what about this? – Und was ist
damit? Saudi Foreign
Minister: “We work with our allies including the United States on these
targets.” Saudische Außenminister: Wir arbeiten mit
allen unseren Verbündeten einschließlich der USA an diesen Zielen”. Some comments on Twitter – Einige Kommentare auf Twitter: Bull shit statement. Translation:"we gave them all these toys
that go boom but can't be held responsible for what they do with um" I understand from this is that the United States provides the targets;
decision to hit left to #saudis? Doesn't matter if this is true or not.

Civilians At the same time, the U.S. provides Saudi Arabia with targeting
assistance and bombs. The Obama
administration is moving to distance itself from the mounting civilian
casualties in Yemen’s civil war, while simultaneously providing targeting
assistance to a Saudi Arabian-led coalition that has been conducting
airstrikes over Yemen for the past six months. White
House officials said they were “shocked and saddened” by last week’s wave of
civilian deaths, but said they were not responsible. “The United States has
no role in targeting decisions made by the Coalition in Yemen,” said White
House spokesman Ned Price in a statement on Friday night. “Nevertheless, we
have consistently reinforced to members of the Coalition the imperative of
precise targeting,” he added. Friday’s
statement seemed to contradict earlier news reports, where U.S. Central Command officials said they
provide “targeting assistance” to the Saudi-led coalition. When asked about
the discrepancy, a senior administration official told The Huffington Post,
"There is a clear distinction between logistical and intelligence
support, which we have provided, and taking part in targeting decisions,
which we do not do.” The official noted that the support the U.S. provides to
the coalition is intended to increase accuracy of airstrikes conducted by its
allies and minimize civilian deaths. A recent
Congressional Research Service report said the U.S. sold
$90 billion worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia between 2010 and 2014, including
fighter aircraft, helicopters, missile defense systems, missiles, bombs and
armored vehicles. The report noted that the U.S. has supplied the Saudis with
American-made weaponry for its military intervention in Yemen and has shared
intelligence to support Riyadh’s targeting decisions. The White
House’s effort to distance itself from the most recent round of civilian
deaths in Yemen comes two days after Saudi Arabia successfully resisted a
Dutch effort at the U.N. Human Rights Council -- a body now led by Riyadh --
to send an independent human rights team into Yemen to investigate human
rights violations committed by all parties during the civil war. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/yemen-civilian-deaths-saudi-airstrikes_5610566be4b0dd85030c53a9 |
