Of gray wolves and criminal Yemen war

What do gray wolves and our criminal involvement in Saudi Arabia's war against Yemen have in common? Plenty. Over 15,000 dead, a million suffering cholera and millions more facing starvation from US bombs dropped from US planes flown by Saudi but refueled by Americans, makes the US partners on war crimes there. Wednesday, House Republicans used dirty tricks to quash a House vote on ending US involvement in Yemen without specific presidential request for Congress to approve continued US action there. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) authored House Concurrent Resolution 138 in September which would require such presidential action on Yemen. Khanna sought privileged status for H. Res. 138 which would force a vote Congressional warmongers were loathe to go on record opposing. GOP House leadership obliged, inserting a provision in obscure bill H.R. 6784, Manage our Wolves Act, stripping Kannna's critically needed peace initiative of its privileged status. That allowed the House GOP to prevent a vote on Khanna's measure. H.R. 6784, Manage our Wolves Act passed 201-187, stripping gray wolves from the List of Endangered Species, and stripping Khanna's peace measure from getting the vote it's due. Democrats opposed the bill 172 - 6, but Republicans prevailed, supporting it 115 - 5. Now gray wolves can be killed again by hunters....and Yemenis can continue being killed by US bombs. So much for unity between Democrats and Republicans to end our Yemen war involvement. And the vote tells us precisely which party loves criminal war.
