Connecticut Senator Christopher Murphy says at a news conference after a successful procedural vote on a War Powers resolution regarding Yemen that Saudi Arabia is an ally but not obligated to jump after an ally into a pool of sharks, but Saudi Arabia crossed a line and it was up to Congress to make clear what the bilateral relationship must be in the future, Yemen a disastrous symptom since 85,000 children died of starvation and disease, Saudis using US-made bombs to target civilian infrastructure, but from the blockade of the port at Qatar to kidnapping the Prime Minister of Lebanon, its foreign policy went off the rails.
