In the five-minute protest, the lawmakers appealed to the U.N. to stop the violence against protesters and mediate talks between the opposition and the monarchy; they asked the U.S. to pressure the Gulf force to leave.
"They should return home. There is no need for them to be here since this a political, not a military problem," said Jassim Hussein, a former parliament member of Bahrain's largest Shiite group Al Wefaq.
The Gulf force underscores the deep worries about Bahrain's stability among the region's Sunni kings and sheiks, who fear any stumble by Bahrain's leaders could embolden challenges to their own regimes and possibly open political inroads for Shiite Iran.
Iran has condemned the presence of the Gulf force in Bahrain.
The United States has condemned the violence in Bahrain and called on the dialogue between the two sides.
The parliament is Bahrain's only elected body. It holds limited authority since all the country's decisions — including the appointment of government ministers — rest with the king.

Look who is behind much of this and supporting it...Iran.
0bama is in Brazil this weekend with one of Iran's biggest South American partners! I don't think this is a coincidence.
Next we will intercede on behalf of the Iranian Mullahs
Seriously, who didn’t see this coming?
Shhhh!!! No one is supposed to notice that the Iranians are playing kick-ass chess while their proxies and moles have teamed up with the international left to make sure that Western civilization can't (or won't) find its ass with both hands, let alone start playing to win.

I can’t make any sense of it, EBH. The world is turned upside down. Our allies are our enemies, and our enemies are our allies? One thing is clear. Our dear leader is TOTALLY out of his league. What a joke! Unfortunately, the joke’s on us!
I don't think so. He knows exactly which is his league. It seems upside-down to us because we know we're on the wrong side.
Not wanting to get overly religious, but it is Sunday...folks have wondered where is America in the end-times prophecy. Well...I think we see where for now.
Islam calls us the Great Satan, yet their rebellious caliphate hands open willing to our weaponry?
0bama is the useful idiot to the beast. We're going down a very dark path, but if prophecy holds true...we won't hold to this path.
Could America be both the Great Satan and God's army?
Revelations 12 ...But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.
If that's confusing, the Saudis are on both sides in Yemen, fighting the Houthi rebels in the north and secretly supporting the Southern rebels in the Aden area.
Make popcorn.
This is exactly why we should not be involved in any of this action.
You have all the money in the world. Hire it done.
The Saudis are smashing mosques in Bahrain, so I am behind them in this one.
