Bahrain is the nearest place a Saudi can get a stiff drink and do some gambling.

Bahrain is the nearest place a Saudi can get a stiff drink and do some gambling.

Or anybody else. One of my kid's college classmates did a year in the Kingdom on an oil rig. Pay was great, but no Tennessee sippin' whiskey allowed (the young man was Nashville born and bred). So it was off to Bahrain in the Four-Trak for a wee dram (or twelve).

I read the Saudis were a "Special Squadron" of troops trained in crowd suppression.

I guess the idea was that the King asked the Saudis in to assist. We can't have Fifth Fleet HQ in the middle of a Civil War.
