You're right, the reference did go over my head. But I still fail to see your point. One lie was cooked up so this one is too?

Houthis kill three Qatari soldiers in Najran, Saudi Arabia

The Qatari armed forces confirmed on Monday night that three of their soldiers
were killed by Houthi fighters in Saudi Arabia's Najran province.
They did not specify the context of their deaths.

Earlier on Monday, Houthi fighters clashed with Saudi forces killing six of their soldiers.

PressTV reported that four snipers were gunned down in the Kingdom’s Najran province,
and two others were killed in Yemeni army's shelling of military positions in the kingdom’s province of Assir.

Qatar sends 1,000 soldiers to Yemen

Sanaa, Yemen (12:50 P.M.) - Qatar is the latest Gulf country to mobilize their forces
to help the Saudi-led Coalition after four of their own soldiers were killed yesterday in Yemen.

According to a report released by Al-Jazeera News today,
approximately 1,000 Qatari soldiers, 200 armored vehicles, and 30 Apache helicopters
were deployed to Yemen to participate in the Saudi-led aggression.

(It's ABOUT TIME they shed their OWN blood. The Qatari royals (home of Al Jazeera)
are behind MUCH of the hegemon mischief and human misery around the globe for DECADES.
Trained soldiers against some bare footed khat chewing Houthis... we'll see how this goes.
We need the Kings and Princes to lead the charge instead of peeling grapes and playin w/ little boys!! )

#Saudi Army in serious trouble as #Houthi Forces reach outskirts of #Najran

NAJRAN, SAUDI ARABIA (12:20 P.M.) - The Saudi Royal Army is in serious trouble at Najran in southern Saudi Arabia,
following the arrival of the Houthi forces at the southern outskirts of this strategic city.

According to local activists, the Houthi forces, backed by the Yemeni Republican Guard,
have reached the last village at Najran's southern perimeter,
leaving only a small buffer-zone for the Saudi Royal Army
before the anti-government forces reach the city.

The Houthi forces and their allies are now attacking the village of Nahuqa,
where they are engaged in a fierce battle with the Saudi Royal Army and Hadi loyalists.

Should Najran fall to the Houthi forces in the coming weeks;
this will require the Saudi Army to send in a large number of reinforcements to the Saudi-Yemeni border
in order to recapture a large chunk of their country that has already been lost.

Airstriking Crowds of Civilians

►[Graphic +18] Saudi jets massacre 25 civilians in western Yemen

SANAA, YEMEN (2:45 A.M.) - The Saudi-led Coalition carried out a ruthless series of airstrikes
over the Al-Hadidah Governorate of western Yemen on Wednesday,
killing upwards around 25 civilians near the coastline.

According to local activists, the Saudi Air Force repeatedly struck a crowded market
inside the Al-Hawak District of Al-Hadidah,
causing as many as 75 casualties (25 dead and 50 wounded) on Wednesday.

(warning: this is not a White Helmet 'production'... )

More than one-third of all Saudi-led air raids on Yemen have hit civilian sites, such as school buildings, hospitals, markets, mosques and economic infrastructure,

Yemen Has Become the Graveyard of the Obama Doctrine

The human costs of facilitating Saudi Arabia’s proxy war have been enormous, and there’s no end in sight.

This past Tuesday, President Barack Obama delivered his final speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Though he tried to sound optimistic, he couldn’t help but strike a rueful tone. Gone was the global media darling who electrified world leaders in 2009—that Obama was “determined to act boldly and collectively on behalf of justice and prosperity at home and abroad.” The graying, deliberate Obama of 2016 could offer only limited aspirations of a “course correction” in world politics, while pondering why cycles of conflict and suffering persisted. Though the president advocated for the “hard work of diplomacy” in places like Syria, he also elaborated on one of his recent, common refrains, cautioning that in the Middle East “no external power is going to be able to force different religious communities or ethnic communities to co-exist for long.” Across the region, “we have to insist that all parties recognize a common humanity and that nations end proxy wars that fuel disorder,” Obama said.

A day later, the U.S. Senate held a rare debate on the sale of arms destined for another war in the Middle East. The deal, for $1.15 billion in weaponry to Saudi Arabia, including over 150 Abrams tanks, is a drop in a bucket: more than $100 billion in arms sales to the kingdom have already been approved by the Obama administration. But a year and a half into the kingdom’s relentless war in Yemen, opponents of the new sale see it as an outright affirmation of Washington’s involvement in a deadly, strategically incoherent war that the White House has kept largely quiet about. What’s more, it is at odds with Obama’s apparent distaste for regional proxy wars.

Since March 2015, Saudi Arabia has targeted Yemen’s Shia Houthi militias and their allies, loyalists of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who two years ago seized the Yemeni capital Sanaa by force. Several months later, they drove the Saudi-backed President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi into exile. When Saudi King Salman announced the intervention in Yemen—an intervention the kingdom has painted as a proxy war with Iran, its regional foe—the White House immediately authorized a support package that included intelligence-sharing and logistical support for military operations. That package has seen the United States deliver more than 40 million pounds of fuel to Saudi jets over the past 18 months, according to U.S. Central Command. The Saudis would be crippled without direct U.S. military assistance, particularly aerial refueling, which continues unabated.

Supporters of the new arms package portrayed it as necessary support after the Obama administration’s landmark nuclear deal with Iran. To them, Yemen is a proxy war, and the United States must side with the Gulf—never mind the absence of direct evidence of wide-scale Iranian meddling in the Houthi rebellion. “Blocking this sale of tanks will be interpreted by our Gulf partners, not just Saudi Arabia, as another sign that the United States of America is abandoning our commitment in the region and is an unreliable security partner,” Arizona Senator John McCain said, depicting the very dynamic Obama appeared to warn against the day before. “That’s what this vote is all about.”
