Iran will fill in every niche where there is a vacuum

Iran-backed Shi'ites in Yemen get shipments of heavy arms
CAIRO -- GERTZ - Shi'ite insurgents in Yemen have received arms from abroad in the past two months.

Yemeni security sources said insurgents from the Iranian-backed Believing Youth have received a range of weapons to renew war against the Yemeni Army. The sources said the shipments included mortars, heavy machine guns, rockets and rocket-propelled grenades.

The sources said the shipments came from both sea and land, including Saudi Arabia. They said the weapons were of Soviet-origin and appeared to have arrived in March and April 2008.

The weapons shipments to the Shi'ites have fueled fresh clashes in the northern Yemeni province of Saada. In a 48-hour period in late April, at least 20 people, divided between insurgents and soldiers were killed in heavy fighting in Saada.

The sources said the Shi'ites, who agreed to a ceasefire in June 2007, succeeded in matching the Yemeni Army in weaponry in Saada. They said the heaviest fighting took place in the Haydan district of Saada.

The Shi'ite revolt has resumed amid a resurgence by Al Qaida in Yemen. On April 30, at least three mortar shells fell near the Italian embassy in Sanaa. There were no reports of injuries.

Western embassies have been reducing staff amid the Al Qaida offensive. Al Qaida has also launched mortar attacks against the U.S. embassy and Western compounds in Sanaa.

They don't need to 'invade' anywhere. The indigenous Shia population will always hold enough who HAVE CERTAINLY BEEN OPPRESSED that a discontented rebellious minority will always be ready to take action, and have the feeling that justice is with them.

If the "Believing Youth" win, Yemen has been invaded successfully.

We are going to have to beat these sons of bitches with prejudice sooner or later. They honestly think they can win this thing, and win it all the way. It is compulsory for them to be defeated in such a way that they 'recognize' that 'God is not pleased'.

That is what victory looks like.

When the rulers of Iran say THAT.
