Washington warned Thursday it would not "stand by" while Iran supports rebels in Yemen, where a Saudi-led coalition pounded anti-government forces at the start of a third week of bombings.

In the most direct U.S. criticism yet of Tehran's backing of the Shiite Huthi rebels, Secretary of State John Kerry said Washington would not accept foreign interference in Yemen.

"There have been -- there are, obviously -- flights coming from Iran. Every single week there are flights from Iran and we've traced it and know this," Kerry told PBS television in an interview.

"Iran needs to recognize that the United States is not going to stand by while the region is destabilized or while people engage in overt warfare across lines, international boundaries in other countries."

2. A load of more garbage.

"Iran needs to recognize that the United States is not going to stand by while the region is destabilized or while people engage in overt warfare across lines, international boundaries in other countries."

Of course Iran recognizes it. We've made it their way-of-life since 1950s when we set-off that coup in their country. Remember Johnny? That's why there's so much goddamned killing going-on over there in the Middle East in first place. Now we mostly use mercenaries or create our own ragtag armies to keep the checks coming in to the defense industry. It's the only growth industry (besides Wall Street Ponzis) that we've got left! Why the US is right now supplying the Saudis with a resupply of reconnaissance drones and surveillance planes and ammo, and humvees, and patrol boats, shit! Hell naugh we ain't just standing around. We know how to make fucking war!

And make it pay!!!

Warmongers make me want to puke........

5. I get cold chills, imagining if Kerry had won the Presidency

because his being SoS is bad enough...

6. Do you honestly think he's

doing anything or saying anything without Pres Obama's approval?

[Demeter]

7. And your point is?

They both get their talking points and policy changes from the NeoCons and Puppetmasters.

Better men would think for themselves.

8. Just what I said

You're complaining about Kerry as SOS and he's just doing his job as he's expected to do as an appointee of this President.

9. Translation:

"Iran, your foreign influence in Yemen is bad...but ours and the Saudis is good."

10. As the Saudis bomb Yemen into the sea.

11. I wonder if Kerry is embarrassed by the crap he has to spout.

"Washington would not accept any foreign interference in Yemen." That's rich.
