Why has Bahrain decided to call in the troops?

The Bahrain monarchy's reflexive fear of Iran drove its decision to call out Saudi Arabian troops

#2  implements an energy independence policy. BHO does have an energy independence policy, it consists of carbon credits, suppression of electricity production, and jacking the price of domestic energy to the moon. Obama want the US to institute rolling blackouts, go hungry & freeze in the dark, and be sure vote Democrat. This is basically the Amish energy independence model, without the Christianity part. In addition I kind of doubt the Amish vote for Democrats, if they vote at all.

#1  Sunni control the country. The country is largely Shia. Iran is stirring the pot and creating uncertainty and unrest in the M.E. A growing nuclear threat exists from Iran.

We have strategic interests in the area; the 5th Fleet is there. Some 20% of oil to the U.S. flows through the Persian Gulf.

Good reasons for Obama to quit screwing around with basketball picks and golf and implements an energy independence policy. That said, it isn't going to happen until we get a President who doesn't vote "Present" and does nothing.
