The US and Saudi military intervention in Bahrain

"The Saudi official said the United States was informed Sunday that the Saudi troops would enter Bahrain on Monday...Political analysts said that it was likely that the United States did not object to the deployment in part because it, too, saw a weakened monarchy as a net benefit to Iran at a time when the United States wants to move troops out of Iraq, where Iran has already established an influence."  But another article in the New York Times said this:  "The United States had little advance warning of the intervention, one of Mrs. Clinton’s aides said."  Please try to coordinate the propaganda in the paper.
