the Saudis and Emiratis “are undertaking demonstrable actions to reduce the risk of harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure.” Ending the war is “a national security priority” for the administration, he said.

Mother Teresa-esque humanitarian Pompeo would’ve said more but he had an urgent meeting with the CEOs of Raytheon and Lockheed-Martin, his other trusted partners in ensuring Middle East peace.

Well, Pompeo would say this, since he doesn’t have to scrape the charred human remains off of the streets of Yemen.

Actually compassionate conservatism is feigning concern for those that you fucked over. Not just the fucked over. You have to do the fucking to feel bad about those you fucked.

“are undertaking demonstrable actions to reduce the risk of harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure.”
