Not want to provoke iran in the first place. otherwise maybe we would have seen this a month ago. >> thats exactly right. i think i was on with you talking about this, bill. the administration certainly demonstrated restraint. frankly, i thought they should have taken this measure weeks ago. but on the fourth of january, the administration issued their final warning against the houthis, public warning with 17 other countries against the houthis, six days later the houthis enacted their most comp...
