A human rights organization based in Yemen conducted a study that found remnants of U.S. weapons in civilian areas unlawfully targeted by Saudi Arabia.
It is the latest damning allegation against a coalition the Trump administration supports, while bipartisan efforts in Congress are underway to stop U.S. involvement in Yemen's civil war, which has claimed tens of thousands of lives and threatened millions more with starvation.
Here & Now reached out to the Saudi embassy for comment on the report but did not receive a response.

What folks don’t understand is that war has no real rules except to win.
In WWII, both the allies and Axis forces intentionally bombed civilian populations. I don’t hear folks condemning our actions in that war.
War sucks and should be avoided at all costs. Because it’s an ugly business. Winning is all that matters.

Yup, war is hell.
In other news, water is wet.
Lots of assholes in zyemen. And they tend to not wear uniforms. What a "civilian" is defined as hers real vague in an insurgency.
I found the bit about Trump support specious, because when Obama was President we were the ones dropping the ordinance.
It will be a good thing when the war ends, but until then it should be prosecuted with alacrity.
