I doubt it. He's a senile old man surrounded by lightweights. I too have been waiting for this blunder. The Houthis have been waiting to be bombed. Everything is moved constantly. The bombin accomplishes nothing on a practical level but make the U.S. "look" resolute in the media ;)

And, as I point out all the time, the U.S. has been doing this through the KSA for 8 years. What difference who flies the plane?

As you point out, the main thing it accomplishes is giving Yemen an excuse to attack EVERYTHING.
