UAE Wants Us to Bomb Iran

Hmm, maybe we can do some join Saudi attack on Iran's nuclear facilities so it doesn't look like the Crusader vs. the Muslims. In any case the so-called Arab Street might want Iran taken out of the game when it comes to the bomb.

Ambassador Yousef al-Otaiba: “I think it’s a cost-benefit analysis. I think despite the large amount of trade we do with Iran, which is close to $12 billion… there will be consequences, there will be a backlash and there will be problems with people protesting and rioting and very unhappy that there is an outside force attacking a Muslim country; that is going to happen no matter what. If you are asking me, ‘Am I willing to live with that versus living with a nuclear Iran?’ my answer is still the same: ‘We cannot live with a nuclear Iran.’ I am willing to absorb what takes place at the expense of the security of the U.A.E.”

I agree that a nuclear arms race in the Middle East will be the last thing that the UAE would need.
