DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Coalition naval forces in the Persian Gulf are on watch for possible terror threats to oil facilities in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, Western naval officials said Friday.

A British navy official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press, said a threat from al-Qaida last month to target gulf oil terminals had resulted in stepped-up security and vigilance at Saudi Arabia’s Ras Tanura terminal, as well as a refinery in Bahrain.

Oil exports in the region were proceeding as normal, he said.

1. Here we go, folks....terra, terra, terra.....bomb Iran!

And while we're at it, elect Republicans to support the troops!

2. Time to raise the terror alert! Let's try purple or lime green.

Get your canned tuna under the bed and break out the duct tape and plastic sheeting.
