Eyewitnesses: 30 tanks spotted en route to Bahrain from Saudi Arabia

"The presence of Saudi military hardware in Bahrain is considered highly unusual."

"The development comes on the eve of yet another scheduled anti-government demonstration organized by the Bahraini opposition and protesters in Manama's Pearl Roundabout."

"Fears of Saudi intervention in the ongoing Bahraini uprising first came to the fore last week when unconfirmed reports emerged on Wednesday that Saudi officials had told US authorities that they were "prepared to intervene" in Bahrain should such a move prove necessary to protect Bahrain's embattled government."

"Tomorrow's mass protest will be the first to take place since the arrival to the country of controversial Shia opposition leader Hassan Mosheima from self-imposed exile."

"Mosheima arrived on Saturday, using his first speech to call for national unity and to urge protesters to step up demands for the ouster of Bahrain's prime minister of 40 years, Sheikh Khalifa Al Khalifa."

If Obama intervenes in Libya I wonder if the Saudis will slow the Oil Supply? I think Obama would like that so the Crats can have something to blame the Depression on.
