Bahrain Updates
Bahrain TV would like you to think that the soldier in the following picture is not holding an machine gun/cannon.
He is holding the latest camera from Canon capable of shooting speeds that would put the 1D Mark IV to shame. No military helicopters were used flown in this 'liberation campaign'. Period.
The Bahrain government is also destroying the LuLu (Pearl) Roundabout to prevent people from returning.
The Saudi government is doing the same in Qatif despite the fact that no one has gathered in any roundabout yet. These are quite small in any case. It's all about preemptive strikes!

Back to Saudi Arabia, Alarabiya is now reporting that the King will deliver a speech to the nation tomorrow at 14:00 (11:00 UTC) followed by several royal decrees. Wonder what these will be about?
