Official US lies

"The United States government was informed about Saudi Arabia's military intervention in Bahrain before it happened, a senior US administration official said.  "We received word that they were planning to head into Bahrain, but not with a significant amount of lead time," the US official said, asking to remain anonymous.  Earlier, the Pentagon had said that it had received no warning that Saudi troops and others were being deployed to keep a lid on violent protests in the Gulf kingdom."
