Biden admits air strikes on Yemen aren't working — but vows to keep bombing anyway

Salon  

This article originally appeared at Common Dreams. After U.S. forces bombed Yemen without congressional authorization for the fourth time in a week, President Joe Biden admitted Thursday that the airstrikes aren't stopping Houthi attacks in the Red Sea—but said the bombing would continue regardless. As Responsible Statecraft's Kelley Beaucar Vlahos noted Thursday, the Houthis struck "a U.S.-owned commercial vessel in the Red Sea with a one-way attack drone" just hours before the Biden administration's fourth round of bombing, which the U.S. Central Command said was aimed at "14 Iran-backed Houthi missiles that were loaded to be fired in Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen." "The excuse that the president can ignore Congress because it's an 'emergency' under the War Powers Resolution has worn thin," Jon Rainwater, executive director of Peace Action, wrote late Wednesday. Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, argued in an op-ed for TIME magazine earlier this week that continued strikes in Yemen will only lead to "escalating tensions that strengthen the de facto Houthi blockade and elevate the potential for the conflict to expand into a full-fledged regional war."
