U.S. Suspends Some Counterterrorism Efforts Against Al Qaeda In Yemen: Officials
This is just a microcosm of what kind of debacle we have gotten ourselves into in the Middle East...
OK, so we had an Obama backed puppet overthrown by a group of (allegedly) Iranian back militants, which in turn limits the amount of counter terrorism operations that the US is able to conduct against a 3rd group (AQAP).
So basically in Yemen, you have the US fighting a battle on two fronts between Al Qaeda (supported by The Saudis) and The Houthi rebels (supported by Iran).
Do you all see the snake pit and madness that we are constantly putting ourselves into?

WASHINGTON, Jan 23 (Reuters) - The United States has halted some counter-terrorism operations against al Qaeda militants in Yemen following a takeover of the country by Iran-backed Houthi rebels, U.S. officials said on Friday.
The collapse of the U.S.-backed government of Yemen on Thursday has left America's counter-terrorism campaign "paralyzed," two U.S. security officials said, dealing a major setback to Washington's fight against al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), a potent wing of the militant network.
Three U.S. officials said the halt in operations included drone strikes, at least temporarily, following the abrupt resignation of the president, prime minister and cabinet amid mounting fears the Arab world's poorest country was veering toward civil war.
