    I don't have to try to convince you of anything. I'm sure a Shia controlled Bahrain government that threw the 5th Fleet out of the country and served as a model for overthrowing Saudi Arabia would please you just fine. A bunch of freaking Mullas controlling 60% of the worlds oil would just be peachy keen.
    this is what you think is going to happen?

    And what makes you believe this?

    It is definitely a plausible scenario.

    Wow.
    And now he should do nothing, but we have to act like he should do something.

    Yes, yes I did. I pulled it out of my ass for s and giggles thus the question mark at the end of it followed up by "I don't know, Why don't you tell us?"

    You are clearly upset today. What's wrong?

    You guys crack me up. We went in and overthrew a dictator and set up a democratic government in Iraq and you guys HATED that. Now when I say we are better off leaving them all alone y'all want to argue that I love dictators and y'all are freedom lovers. Make up your ing minds!
    You don't seem to understand that these changes are organic and are based on the self determination of the people. While the changes you mention above are thrust upon those people.

    Will you concede that Obama stepped on his in Egypt? He practically CREATED the problem in Bahrain, and next Saudi Arabia. Now he needs to sit back and watch our Allies slaughter their protesting citizens and not say a ing thing.
    No .

    This is something we should have either stayed out of, or supported Egypt former ruler.

    The self determination of the people was not the majority, but a group of organized people lied to by the "twelvers" most likely.

    Doesn't it strike you as odd the Iran supported this, but quickly squelched their own internal prostests?

    You guys should read this article

    http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/16/wo...ahrain.html?hp

    It's from the highly conservative New York Times...

    Same I have been telling you idiots...

    Long-simmering popular anger at the autocratic government and Sunni Muslim domination over a Shiite majority has been ratcheted up by recent revolts across the Arab world.

    “We are not an exact copy of what happened in Egypt, but we have been inspired by it,” said Redha Hayat, a petroleum technician manning a protester checkpoint in the village of Sanabis.
    Iran, the center of Shiite Islam which has sometimes called Bahrain one of its own provinces, objected angrily to the troops’ arrival. The state media called it an invasion and the Foreign Ministry spokesman told a news conference in Tehran that the presence of foreign troops in Bahrain was “unacceptable.”
    In another activist village, Sanabis, Ghada Nasser, an English teacher at the local primary girls’ school, said armed gangs that she believed were sponsored by the security services had been entering the village and causing trouble. She said no one had been sleeping since Sunday because of the turmoil.

    “I wish the Americans would help us,” she said. “But the day after your defense minister came here, the Saudi troops came in. What is the United States doing to end this situation?”

    Still not scared, CC. You have yet to show any credible source for the worst case scenario you posted.

    I really don't give a if you are scared Chump. I'm not scared either. So far in this deal I've been a lot closer to predicting consequences of our bailing on Egypt than you have been. Oh that's right. All Chump does is nitpick minute details and never takes a stand on big issues.

    lol bailing on Egypt.

    Now you are saying we should have intervened on behalf of the dictatorship.

    It's easy to claim you're right when you take every possible side of the argument.

    I was ok with Bush Sr no-fly zone in Iraq, and would have no problem with a similar tactic in these areas. I think it evens the field a bit and let's their people do their thing.
    Heck, I wouldn't mind just provide air bombings like Clinton did in Yugoslavia...

    I just don't want a full out invasion, troops and the like. Didn't want it in Iraq, don't want it in these places.

    and lol never take a stand.

    What stand is there to take in this situation, CC? Or rather which stand should I say I took earlier to make me think I'm right like you have done?

    I guess you are talking about Lybia. If the UN and African Union are more or less on board and involved that could work.

    What part of "Obama should have shut his ing mouth and done NOTHING in Egypt didn't you get?"

    So tell me what the all knowing CHUMP would do to handle the situation boiling to a head in North Africa and the Middle East.

    Yeah, I figured as much. No solid opinion from the ing pussy. Just sniping at others opinions.
