CNN Reporter: Slaughtering Children In Yemen is Good For Business

As the current conflict in Yemen continues to claim the lives of many innocent children, a CNN reporter has claimed the unthinkable saying that the slaughter of children is ‘good for business.’

CCN’s was interviewing Rand Paul when he made the comments.

Rand Paul is explaining that “There are now millions of displaced people in Yemen. They’re refugees. So we supply the Saudis with arms, they create havoc and refugees in Yemen. Then what’s the answer? Then we’re going to take the Yemeni refugees in the United States? Maybe we ought to quit arming both sides of this war.”

Giving specific details o the involvement of the US military in the slaughter of children, Paul noted, “We are refueling the Saudi bombers that are dropping the bombs. It is said that thousands of civilians have died in Yemen because of this.”

Blitzer coldly responded:

“So for you, this is a moral issue. Because you know, there’s a lot of jobs at stake. Certainly, if a lot of these defense contractors stop selling warplanes, other sophisticated equipment to Saudi Arabia, there’s going to be a significant loss of jobs, of revenue here in the United States. That’s secondary from your standpoint?”

The conflict in Yemen, a manufactured as a proxy war by Saudi Arabia, targeting Iran, is a secret America has shrugged under the carpet.

A Unicef analysis report revealed more than 5,000 children have been slaughtered in the war, as the death toll from violence alone has soared past 10,000 leaving millions on the brink of starvation.

As the number of casualties continues to increase, a report from the United Nations revealed that the parties involved in conducting operations “heedless of their impact on civilians.”

Free Thought Project has reported the current situation in Yemen is nothing short of genocide, as there are 7 million civilians in starvation, and 19 million out of the country’s 27 million population “in need of some form of aid.”

Saudi Arabia has repeatedly facilitated famine, continued to murder children, and all of it is with the help and approval of the United States.

A report from the Associated Press which barely registered as a blip in the rest of the media claimed that the majority of people who were killed were “women and children who were gathered in one of the tents set up for the wedding party in the district of Bani Qayis.”

The bride was killed and the groom was one of more than 50 people who was wounded. Ali Nasser al-Azib, deputy head of the hospital, told the AP that at least 30 children were among the injured—several are suffering from shrapnel wounds and severed limbs, and are in critical condition.

The AP reported that this bombing is the third that has targeted Yemeni civilians in as many days—an entire family of five was killed after an airstrike hit their house on Sunday, and at least 20 civilians were killed after an airstrike hit a commuter bus leaving the war-torn district of Mowza.

As Glenn Greenwald pointed out last week, this most recent slaughter of innocent women and children comes after Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman went on a publicity tour across the United States, meeting with elites from all sides of the political spectrum and industry.

The Saudi bombing of a Yemeni wedding party – in a country where they, along with their US & UK partners, have created one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises – comes just a few weeks after this orgy of red-carpet love for the Saudi tyrant by the most glittering US elites:

As the Yemen war enters its fourth year of being ignored by the media, RT’s In the Now has republished a forgotten clip from 2016 in which CNN’s Wolf Blitzer interviews Rand Paul.

The clip is nothing short of chilling and explains why the media and politicians continue to ignore the war, while silently supporting it—the slaughter of innocent children is good for business.

Since this original report aired, the admitted scope of the US role in Yemen has become far greater than just bombs and refueling.

The Defense Department released a statement in December 2017, in which it admitted for the first time that U.S. forces have conducted “multiple ground operations and more than 120 strikes this year” in Yemen.

Sadly, this slaughter shows no signs of slowing and is arguably getting worse.

Only a few weeks into his presidency, Donald Trump made clear his policy of continuing the annihilation and genocide of the citizens of Yemen.

Following in Barack Obama’s footsteps, Trump launched an attack on Yemen only days after taking office which led to the death of multiple civilians, including women and children.

Among the dead was the 8-year-old granddaughter of Nasser al-Awlaki, Nawar Anwar al-Awlaki, who was also the daughter of Anwar Awlaki — a US citizen extrajudicially murdered by the Obama administration. Nasser al-Awlaki explained that his granddaughter was shot in the neck and suffered for hours as she bled to death.

Nawar’s death epitomizes the rapacious and savage nature of the US presence in Yemen and their continued aid to the terrorist nation of Saudi Arabia who indiscriminately bombs schools, hospitals, and civilian neighborhoods within the nation.

And all of it, according to CNN and the rest of the military industrial complex—is good for business.
