WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House has not heard anything about U.S. citizens being advised to leave Bahrain, a senior White House official said on Friday.
"I haven't heard anything," the official said when asked if Americans had been advised to leave Bahrain.
Rumors may have stemmed from a U.S. embassy note to U.S. residents posted on Thursday advising citizens to avoid being in areas where opposition activists plan to hold protests, which often turn violent.
How can my heart take much more. Bahrain is the RR port of choice for my daughters ship. She loves it there but I stay afraid the entire time that she's in port. I know it was only yesterday, and it may seem that I'm obsessing but please pray for my daughter and her shipmates, still in the Persian Gulf.
Take the children and yourself And hide out in the cellar By now the fighting will be close at hand Don't believe the church and state And everything they tell you Believe in me, I'm with the high command.

May the Lord bless her and keep her.

A quote or preposition anyone?
Wait, a Reuters stringer picked up the debka fantasy news report and then pressed the question to the White House PR flaks?
Weird world we live in.
