Al Jazeera English - Middle East - Saudi 'to keep up Houthi offensive'

Saudi Arabia will continue its air strikes against Yemeni rebels until they pull back from the two countries' border, the kingdom's deputy defence minister has warned.

Prince Khaled bin Sultan pledged to keep up a military offensive against the Houthi rebels on Tuesday, as he visited Saudi troops in the kingdom's southwest Jizan province, the AFP news agency reported.

"We are not going to stop the bombing until the Houthis retreat tens of kilometres inside their border," he said.



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

This will be fun to watch, given that the Saudis are the worst soldiers in the world. I bet this will end up like Khaddafi vs. the Tuaregs in technicals.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
