OBAMA, CONDEMN BAHRAIN FOR HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS

Even though nine medical personnel are set free, an appeals court in Bahrain reaffirms prison sentences for nine other doctors and nurses, some up to five years.  Just because they treated wounded protesters calling for greater democratic freedoms for Shiites in a country ruled by Sunnis.

Moreover, Bahrain arrested an 11-year old boy for associating with a group protesting the government's discrimination, and then kept him in jail for several weeks.

Why won't Pres. Obama and Sec. Clinton come out and condemn Bahrain and its repressive monarchy?

The answer is, the U.S. Navy has its Fifth Fleet based in Bahrain, ready to bomb and attack Iran at moment's notice.   Animus towards Iran trumps American values of freedom and democracy as to Bahrain.

OBAMA CRITICIZES IRAN FOR AIDING SYRIAN REPRESSSION, BUT NOT SAUDI ARABIA FOR BEATING MEDICAL DOCTORS IN BAHRAIN

Obama criticizes Iran for aiding the Syrian government in its bloody crackdown on protesters even though there is no evidence of Iranian involvement. Yet Obama remains silent when Saudi Arabia sends troops to Bahrain to kill and imprison protesters. Why? Answer: the U.S. Navy maintains its Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, not in Syria. Shame on Obama.
