You invade Bahrain. We take out Muammar Gaddafi in Libya.

This, in short, is the essence of a deal struck between the Barack Obama administration and the House of Saud.

Two diplomatic sources at the United Nations independently confirmed that Washington, via Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, gave the go-ahead for Saudi Arabia to invade Bahrain and crush the pro-democracy movement in their neighbor in exchange for a “yes” vote by the Arab League for a no-fly zone over Libya.
