MrQwerty posted:The Saudis have threatened to actively involve themselves in Bahrain. The leaders of the Gulf States are all close allies/relatives of the House of Saud, and have an agreement through the GCC that nobody is allowed to advance liberalization of their governments independently of the rest and etc. In short, Bahrain will be a total bloodbath.  E: Libya is looking a bit more promising, though.

AJE just did a piece on unrest in Syria. I suppose I know the answer before I ask, but is it possible Syria could flip? UN threatening an arrest warrant on Ghadaffi. GO GO GO!

He still seems quite fond of Obama and calls him "my son," again.

Live on AJE: Saleh just basically gave a giant stiffy to the protesters. And there's a whole hell of a lot of them.

Shageletic posted:EDIT: All of this arguing is idiotic. There needs to be more posts about what's going on, and less about what shut in internet nerds feel they need to pontificate shittily about. I agree. It seems that right after Obama gave his speech this thread went straight to poo poo. So, now I basically just skim the thread for anything posted news-style, like any post by Brown Moses (love you, btw), and ignore every single post by everyone else. Nobody gives a drat about your C/P talking points. If it didn't work on your grandma (who forwarded you that email to begin with), it's not gonna work on me. I want news about libya; I don't care your father never loved you as a child. Farraday's been kind of kicking it up lately, too, for that matter. +1 to both of you.
