That’s 5th fleet –typo.

Wouldn’t it be crazy for the Obam to use the USN to destabilize USA’s powerful ally KSA? This would hurt Israel terribly, too, as KSA stabilizes Araby in a way very critical to Israel’s strategic position.

What are we watching here?

Yesterday news reported 45 Bahrainis killed by govt snipers. This is pretext in line with the Libya pretext. KSA’s oil-production facilities are scattered far and wide across the desert, practically undefendable on a tactical basis. Guerrilla attacks on those facilities, in an overall pressurization of the KSA royal family, would set a condition where the most able power in the region, the USN, could be set against the Dollar, and with $7 gasoline, against the USA itself –against the very USN performing the humanitarian mission, protecting the people against the govt, and so forth.

As a matter of fact, we are already seeing a penumbra of such a situation –why would the Kuwaiti navy make such a statement of distress otherwise? The rebels have no navy, they’re the urban shiite Bahraini citizens themselves.
