So where is the 'no fly zone' for Bahrain?

1. There is only 8 people in Bahrain. The other 1,000,000 people who live there are hired actors. One misplaced bomb could wipe out the who population.
2. Saudi's are doing the no fly zone except they are not using planes. They sent security forces to walk around making airplane sounds while they beat protesters with shotgun barrels and bullets. |

Having worked in Engineering and Contracting ops downrange this last deployment... this assessment is spot on. We had a requirement of giving local contractors the option of doing construction for us.. yeah, it was cheaper than KBR or even RED HORSE, but their work was fucking crap. RED HORSE could put down a concrete pad in a few hours and make it look like a fucking work of art. LN contractor puts a similar concrete pad down and makes it look like he took a shit instead - pad was cracked before it was even fully cured. And then the assholes who we had to deal with for bringing in gravel... that was highway robbery right there. But that's an entirely different rant. And bird Colonels should have to ride the fucking bus back to their CHUs just like the rest of us. DILLIGAF that you are a brigade commander? You already get your own shower and shitter while the rest of us have to walk a block for the same thing every morning. Leave the vehicles where the people who actually do some work can use them.

Having been to Bahrain a couple times, I'm still stuck on the question "WTF is there to protest about?"

Whatever it is, it's apparently worth killing a few hundred people over too.

Want to know why Saudi Arabia built a bridge to Bahrain? It certainly wasn't to support a tourist industry....it was because if those dirty Shia bastards ever decided to act up....right on the doorstep of the heart of Sunni Muslim-ism they wanted a fast track to get there and kick ass....which is EXACTLY what you are seeing in Bahrain today. http://www.bahrainrights.org/node/29 |

Right off the top of my head, I'd say "no one," which is who we should be supporting in Libya too. I guarantee whoever comes out ahead will turn right around and bite whatever western hands are in range.
