Former Yemeni President Ali Abdallah Saleh: The Arab Spring Was a Zionist-Western Conspiracy (2014 Interview)

Saleh on the region-wide anarchy brought about by the Arab Spring:
"I was one of the rulers, but I hoped that they would give rise to someone who would function better than me and my government. But it brought nothing but anarchy, the disintegration of nations, the destruction of the infrastructure and the economy, and the deterioration of the army and security services. The Muslim Brotherhood entered the units of the army and security services with no training, qualifications, or organization. Anarchy! That is why I called it the Zionist Spring." - Former Yemeni President Ali Abdallah Saleh.
This guy Saleh switches sides like there's no tomorrow. He was with America one day, Al-Qaeda the next. After he was deposed from office a few years ago he backed the Houthis to power, and when the Saudis were about to strike he offered to join them and stab the Houthis in the back. No wonder Yemen is a mess. This piece of shit has been running it into the ground for years.

Read this excerpt from, "Exclusive: Saleh offered Saudi Arabia anti-Houthi coup for immunity" Al Arabiya News Chanel, March 28, 2015:
The son of Ali Abdullah Saleh approached Saudi authorities two days before Operation “Decisive Storm” but his proposals were rejected.

Two days before Operation “Decisive Storm,” the son of former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh approached Saudi authorities offering to turn against the Houthi militia in return for immunity for him and his father, Al Arabiya News Channel has learned.
This report may not be true. Al Arabiya is not trustworthy when it comes to reporting on Yemen, Syria, or anything really, but it's plausible given Saleh's track record. All these Arab dictators are the same except for Assad who actually stayed in his country and didn't sell out when the heat in the kitchen rose.
