Leaked Memo Shows US Overlooked Mass Civilian Deaths In Yemen To Preserve Arms Sales
Sept 2018

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-09-20/leaked-memo-shows-us-overlooked-mass-civilian-deaths-yemen-preserve-arms-sales

The WSJ summarizes the importance of the classified memo, which its reporters have seen in full:

"Mr. Pompeo overruled concerns from most of the State Department specialists involved in the debate who were worried about the rising civilian death toll in Yemen. Those who objected included specialists in the region and in military affairs. He sided with his legislative affairs team after they argued that suspending support could undercut plans to sell more than 120,000 precision-guided missiles to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, according to a classified State Department memo and people familiar with the debate."

Pompeo is an evangelical Christian and believes in "The Rapture". He was also a career military man. Not a rational diplomat.
