United Arab Emirates : Bombing Iran Better than Iran Getting a Nuke
-Eli Lake
The United Arab Emirates ambassador to the U.S. [pictured] said that the benefits of bombing Iran's nuclear program outweigh the short-term costs such an attack would impose.
Ambassador Yousef al-Otaiba publicly endorsed the use of the military option for countering Iran's nuclear program, if sanctions fail to stop the country's quest for nuclear weapons.
Rep. Jane Harman of California [D] told the Washington Times: "I have never heard an Arab government official say that before. He was stunningly candid."

He wants us to take the responsibility and problems that come with it. Let our military troops die. If he wants a bombing, why doesn't he have his own country do it?
The significance of this story is not his overt request for the US to clean up the mess in his backyard, but rather that an Arab country is desparate enough to speak out loud what is only said in private...essentially:
'we don't want Iran to take over the MidEast with their nuclear capacity.'
Potentially makes it easier for Obama [or Netanyahu] to act against Iran.
