therefore they could be going to conduct offensive strikes against houthi targets which may result in civilian casualties which is a major concern for me. even more troubling, if these aircraft went to conduct strikes against targets outside of yemen the u.s. would be complicit or in a much more dangerous and provocative activities. i have significant concerns about persistent reports of civilian casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure. caused by the saudi led coalition in yemen. far too many of the strikes by the coalition had killed or injured civilians and resulted in the destruction of infrastructure needed to provide basic services to the population. thereby exacerbating the humanitarian crisis. it is also clear that more must be done by both the coalition and the houthis to facilitate the flow of humanitarian aid into and throughout yemen. the united nations and humanitarian organizations continue to express concern about their ability to access c and airports, and difficulties in distributing aid to vulnerable populations once it is inside the country. it is. important

we're not fighting the houthi rebels. u.s. soldiers and airmen are not fighting the houthi rebels directly. we're providing support. proponents of this legislation rightly point out that there is currently a humanitarian crisis in yemen. unfortunately, what they sometimes leave out is that humanitarian crisis only started when the iranian backed rebels overthrew the existing government. our military assistance is helping the saudis and targeting to help prevent civilian casualties, to help restore law and order and create conditions necessary to provide aid. let's remember too it was president obama that first implemented the refueling and logistical support policy, so this is not a political matter. there's no real difference in the way that the obama administration and the trump administration provided this support by, with, and through our allies, the saudis and the emiratis. and it's clear why this has been the policy of the last two administrations. yemen is a place of great geopolitical concern. when i visited bahrain re

most of yemen's imports flow through there but it is in houthi hands.audis are on the look—out for suspicious vessels. we meet the captain, whose mission is a crucial front line in this war. operational rules are to treat all vessels as suspicious? yes. even humanitarian ones? yes. a naval blockade has been lifted for now. it had obstructed vital medicine, food and fuel from reaching yemenis in desperate need. but this war grinds on. and on the ground, it is yemen's army who are battling houthi fighters. advancing slowly on hostile terrain. mountain by mountain. seizing strategic heights of the approach to the capital. sanaa is the prize in this war. the houthi rebels want to keep it, but to take this densely populated city would be a bloody urban battle. all roads in this war will lead to this capital. the yemeni forces and their allies have ambitious plan, surround sanaa, and force the houthis to surrender, but their enemy is well entrenched. supported by iran, the houthis are now well trained and well supplied. their ballistic missiles have reached t

at the beginning of this work, the houthis controlled the population. today we controlled about 70% of the population inside yemen. if we continue to support this, nothing will change except more people will die, except more civilians will be hit by the bombs that we helped to drop, except that al qaeda will continue to control big portions of that country. and so senator leahy knows this resolution is actually not on the merit of our engagement there. it is on whether or not we have legal justification to be there. let's admit that if you do consider the merit, other than backing the play of our historic ally, there is nothing to suggest that our participation there is making things better rather than worse, senator sanders. >> let me ask my friend from connecticut the same question i asked senator leahy and that is whether you agree with whether we are dealing with two separate issues here. the first issue is really in a sense a no-brainer. it is whether or not the congress or in this case the senate of the united states accepts its constitutional res

the houthis want to keep it, the ousted government wants it back. but to take the fight into the heart of this historic, densely populated city would be a bloody urban battle. all roads in this war lead to th capital. yemeni forces and their allies have an ambitious plan -- surround saa and force the houthis to surrender. but their enemy is well entrenched. supported by iran, the houthis are now well trained and well supplied. the ballistic missiles have reached the heart of the saudi kingdom. s and fearrt of their arsenal, too. hundreds of journalists and political opponents have been detained arbitrarily. many have fled. in a government-controlled area, we meet a 27-year-old. his crime, posting comments on social media. he tells us, "they hung me up, tortured me until i fell unconscious." when he woke up, he couldn't move.

yes, the houthis did fire on a u.s. navy vessel. this only reinforces the fact that yemenis see the u.s. as participants in this war regardless of whether or not congress wants to acknowledge that participation or approve it as the constitution requires. what we do know is this. the houthis are a regional rebel group that does not itself threaten the united states. while the houthis are no friends of ours, neither are they a serious threat to american national security. the longer we fight against them, the more reason we give them to hate america and embrace the opportunists who are our true enemy in the region, iran. and the more we prolong activities to destabilize the region, the longer we harm our own interests in terms of trade and broader regional security. the bottom line, mr. president, is this, we're spending a great deal of time and treasure to defeat a regional rebel group with no desire to attack the homeland and unclear ties to iran. iran -- iran's influence is much clearer in other parts of the middle east with other

must remember that the houthis internationally recognized and lawful government of yemen and continue the conflict by resisting a political solution. so, we asked the saudis to have a political solution, but we need to houthis to engage in a political solution as well. we also have to remember that the houthi t insurgency has vasy expanded the opportunity for al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. at the same time, i worry that withdrawal of limited u.s. military support to the saudi coalition will weaken our leadership and our ability to influence a political settlement and improve humanitarian conditions and could even make the situation worse. let us be clear eyed about who will most benefit from an absence of american power. as has been done throughout the region, iran will continue to expand its proxy power enter its revolutionary guard, iran will continue shipping weapons to boo-hoo these in violation of the arms embargo with an emboldened iranian patron, will continue their campaign with yemen in their attacks on saudi arabia. meanwhile, other nations in the region will be left que

support for the saudi-led coalition houthi insurgence. they plan to do it using the provisions of the war powers resolution and the security assistance and arms export control act. i oppose their resolution for two reasons. the first reason, mr. president, is that my colleagues -- their substantive policy aim is actually misguided. the supreme leader and the regime know what their goals are, preserving their rule and harming the united states and israel. that's what they want to do. that's why iran exports violence, intimidation, and coercion. that's why iran expands its ballistic missle program. that's why iran uses proxies such as the houthis along with others to go into yemen, iraq, bahrain and beyond. during the obama administration they drew down the conventional force structure. we traced after a flawed nuclear agreement. we reduced our commitment to our city arab partners. iran noticed our -- it supported a support of proxies and supported the unrest following the civil wars in yemen and syria and the rampage of isil into attack. i

those casualties to deteriorate those who manage hearing crisis brought on by the iranian backed houthi in the presiding officer has been leading the charge on the threat to thedd humanitarian crisis which is mind-boggling to be sure. contrary to the resolution the sponsors clean u.s. military is not engaged in hostilities in yemen is that has been understood and applied since it is not in direct conflict of exchanging fire with houthi forces of course we all share a concern with what is at stake in yemen and saudi arabia in the gulf region, but also about civilian casualties which this resolution creates problems wit with. almost everyone is aware yemen is suffering from a unitarian years but removed that just a cool support from the saudi coalition the humanitarian situation could get even worse both political parties importance the role the united states plays in support of our partners efforts to push back against those forces in yemen and in fact president obama was the one who first implemented the refueling majestic will support policy remaining in effect today. in 2016 senator m

our resolution is specific and relates specifically to the houthis. nothing in this bill may be interpreted as a au mf. with regard to saudi arabia and the ongoing visit of crown prince mohammed bin salmon in washington dc have been deeply concerned about our illegal war in yemen since its inception. and have taken steps to end our involvement in that war. i presented questions to our combatant commanders on this topic just as i have for other unauthorized operations in the past. i had hoped the new administration might take prompt action to end our unauthorized activities in yemen. sadly that has not occurred. after countless missed opportunities and some broken assurances, my colleagues and i decided to take matters into our own hands and by matters, those matters that are specifically already in our hands, matters that are already granted to the united states congress and to no other branch of government. there may be some short-term impact on the us saudi relationship but the crown prince should understand that this protracted and non-conclusive w

the houthi strikes within saudi territory against commercial shipping and the babel mendev have shown as well to the united states that there is a different missile challenge emanating from iran and leveraging its proxy assets in the region. outside of its traditional relationship with hezbollah, and i think this raises interesting questions in terms of u.s. strategy and the investments that it's making with its partners in the region in terms of where missile defense assets are currently arrayed from a force posture perspective and ongoing consultations with the saudis in terms of whether to deploy some of their assets to the south to address the houthi challenge, and i think a good process of lessons learned to talk about the strike in saudi territory and the response to that, and in thinking holistically in the maritime domain about the commercial shipping challenge that's in the gulf and its immediate vicinity, but one that really stretches from the gulf up to the babel mendev and into the suez canal as being looking at that as one holistic picture and the partners in the region n

so much of what we see in yemen as a consequence of the houthis actions and the houthis are upon theranian regime and aligned with hezbollah. what they are trying to do is establish a second hezbollah and yemen and what they are trying to do is turn yemen into a self leg of iran and we cannot allow this to happen. >> bret: obviously, significant concern about that. also syria. has a solid won that a civil war in syria? >> the tragedy in syria is not over and will continue for a very long time. when the fighting stops, there has to be a phase for rebuilding the country, and there has to be a period where syrian refugees can go back to their homes. this can only happen if you have a credible political process. this is what we in the united states are trying to work on moving forward and we are hoping that enough pressure can be brought to bear on the assad regime to seriously engage in these talks. >> bret: do you think the u.s. is going to get out of the iran deal and should it? >> i wouldn't be presumptuous to tell the u.s. what are her shouldn't do. but we support president trump's

face a significant threat from houthi rebels armed with ballistic missiles. apparently, with the tactical assistance of the iranians. there have reportedly been dozens of such attacks against saudi arabia since the spring of 2015, including against civilian targets like the international airborne in riyadh, which was attacked in december. i strongly support the right of our partners to defend themselves from these threats and believe that continued sharing of u.s. intelligence for defensive purposes is appropriate, especially in light of the fact that tens of thousands of u.s. civilian, military, and diplomatic personnel also face these threats while living and working in the region around riyadh and throughout saudi arabia. i also have concerns that ending all support to the saudi-led coalition may cause the conflict to escalate. as secretary mattis wrote to congressional leadership this past week, restrictions on our limited u.s. military support could increase civilian casualties, jeopardize cooperation with our partners on counterterrorism, and reduce our

it concerns the houthis and only the houthis. if members are convinced that our fight against the houthis is worthwhile, then so be it. congress will have done its part, and the fight will go on. but if members are not willing to pay the heavy price tag for this war, calculated in dollars and in innocent human lives, then our resolution will bring u.s. operations to a close. this resolution is an opportunity for members of congress to stand up and be counted on a matter of life and death. it's an opportunity to end the executive's unconstitutional dominance over matters of war and peace and restore in its place a khrab are -- collaborate process whereby congress declares war and presidents wage war. thank you, senator sanders. mr. sanders: let me conclude by thanking senator lee and senator murphy and senator durbin for their remarks this afternoon, thanking senator booker, senator warren, senator leahy, senator markey, senator feinstein, senator wyden for their cosponsorship of joint resolution 54. let me summarize it very brief

chilling with each of those, the yemen point about the houthi rebels.an rights agrees they have exploited the aid and he miniature situation, but also agree most of the deaths have been at the hands of the saudi led coalition, the bombing usepaign, and the major ca of the catastrophe, the cholera outbreak is the restriction on the going in and going out, closing of the ports. they are blad thmajority of the on the saudis. iran-saudi feud, which is what this is about, his visito the u.s. is about shoring up saudi -- american support for any cut of saudi attempt to put iran in its place. let's be clear, iranian foreign-policy has been awful in the region, especially in syria. defending the war crimes in syria by bashar al-assad. but the idea that, number one, iran is responsible for al qaeda is absurd given saudi arabia is a country most identified by experts with al qaeda over the years, 15 of the 19 hijackers were saudis. the u.s. state department said in 2009 in a cable that they constitute the most significant urce of funding for sunni terrorists worl
