Bahrain uprising coming to a slow and steady simmer ....

just like how most civil wars do before boiling over.  When the "boil over" happens, I wonder if  the USA's military base in Bahrain will run to help the dictators of Bahrain or the protesters. No need to wonder how this will play out. The usual hypocrites will side with the usual dictators.

Talking about military bases... the USA has been given notice  by the Kyrgyzstar govt. to shut their military base in that country at the end of the current lease agreement, July 11, 2014. The new govt. there now is pro-Moscow. 

From Stripes:
Bahrain: U.S. military officials here issued a new warning Tuesday to U.S. personnel and families living in this island kingdom, which has experienced a spike in violent activity in recent weeks.

Officials are urging personnel to be careful around ATMs off base, particularly at night and early in the morning. They cited a “recent incident” in which an improvised explosive device was found near an ATM.
The warning follows a bomb attack Monday in the village of Daih in which three police officers were killed while dispersing a group of rioters, according to Bahrain’s Interior Ministry.
The message sent to servicemembers and dependents Tuesday asks personnel to scan areas around ATMs for items that are out of place or suspicious and to alert base security officials of any abnormal activity.

From RefWorld:
....Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the bomb attack on Monday in the village of Daih, Bahrain, which led to the death of three policemen.
Mr. Ban, in a statement issued by his spokesperson, conveyed his sympathies and condolences to the families of the victims and the Government of Bahrain.
"Such acts of violence cannot be justified by any cause," said the statement.....
