Saudi Arabia occupied Bahrain about two days ago. Another case of the horses have left the barn.

Carney said Obama emphasized the political process is the only way to lead to a stable Bahrain.

A few weeks ago, at Northern Michigan University, Obama praised the rebels for their actions. I guess the political process is context sensitive to where you are in the middle east.

Is Obama trying to destroy more of our “sort of” allies?

If we learn nothing else from Daffy Ghadafi, we should learn that, when dealing with insurgents and revolution, “restraint” is suicide. He’s winning because he shows NO restraint. Mubarak is gone because he did show restraint.

Kill ‘em all. Keep killing them until they collapse. Punish their base. That is the secret to winning, Grasshopper, esp. in the Middle East.

So I guess they should sit by and let the pro-Iranian Shiites take the country over. Give me a break!

Wait a minute. He didn’t denounce the demonstrators as Koran-thumpin’, scimitar-clingin’, anti-government malcontents who don’t want to give up their grass-guzzling camels (or whatever camels eat), and don’t want to turn the air-conditioners down in their tents?

This guy is a moron. The Saudis moved to protect their interests. Tell me when Obama moved to protect ours?

“....Obama stressed the need for “maximum restraint.....””

LMAO.... I can hear the sounds of Arab laughter and the painful cries of a thousand camels, when they got off the phone with this clown, Obama.
