Watch your head, Mahmoud.

The UAE Ambassador to the US told reporters it would be worthwhile to bomb Iran in order to prevent the regime from aquiring nukes.
The Jerusalem Post reported:

The United Arab Emirates ambassador to the United States said Tuesday that it would be worthwhile to bomb Iran’s nuclear program, The Washington Times reported.

Ambassador Yousef al-Otaiba reportedly endorsed the military option if sanctions do not stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.

“I think it’s a cost-benefit analysis,” Otaiba said to an audience in Aspen, Colorado. “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 UAE,” Otaiba reportedly said, in response to a question after a public interview with the Atlantic magazine. His remarks shocked many in the audience, The Washington Times reported.

Kazem Jalali, the spokesman for the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said Iran may bar trips to the United Arab Emirates over the U.A.E. envoy’s remarks.

    Of course many mohammedan leaders are worried about a nuclear Iran.

    The reason for this is simple. A nuclear Iran won’t stop after wiping out Israel. A nuclear Iran will try to spread, will try to conquer other countries. And the first to fall will be the nearby mohammedan countries.

    So they’re all worried, of course. They don’t want to give up their comfortable positions in their own palaces. Nuclear Iran would eventually lead to exactly that. And they all know it.

    Well why don’t they take their military and get busy? Oh, wait. No Military? Yes someone should destroy the Nuke facilities. Send a letter to Israel offering material support. Gather some allies, form a group of middle east neighbors and start a boycott of Iranian products. Go to the Usless Nations (UN) and file a protest. Do something constructive. This guy is like the idiots you run into at work that have great ideas as long as someone else does the hard work.

    But,what effect will this action have on my political donations?

    I think we need for from a committee to examine the political fall out regarding this and my campaign cash. Where is CAIR?

    Has anyone body consulted Hugo Chaves? I don’t want my coke supply cut-off. Has anyone consulted Bill Ayers? Has anyone consulted Bernardine Dohrn?

    My limousine is running and I have an meeting with important political advisers Charles Manson and Leslie Van Houten. I hear visiting hours are very limited. Good day.

    If the UAE wants us to protect them from their equally psychotic neighbors, they can stop financing terrorism and stop trying to export shari’ah to the United States. They are full of s***–to the deepest depths of hell with them.

    Bomb Iran yourself, you lazy assed Arabs.
    You can afford to buy your own fleet of bombers, bombs and pilots.
    YOU do it.

    Since the UAE does not have a military of any size maybe they can instead send 1 million suicide bombers into Iran! Oh wait, that requires 72 million virgins!

    Breathtaking. The UAE ambassador actually said it out loud, in english.

    “actually said it out loud, in english.”

    If he had said it in Arabic, I would be even more shocked. Arabs often say one thing in English and something quite different in Arabic.

    I’m glad to hear the UAE say this, and not surprised either.

    Sitting in the Persian Gulf, they’re a front-line target. The UAE is an Arab controlled nation with a sizeable Shiite population chaffing at the bits so-to-speak. The whole Arab world is on edge about Iran and has been for 31 years. The Arabs don’t want a nuclear Iran because it’d nearly complete the paradigm shift in power in the Islamic world. The Arabs have always been in power, with Shiites under foot. But the tide is shifting as Iran’s power grows and has allied itself with Turkey – also growing in power – who has a historical distaste for the Arab world as well.

    It’s going to get a whole lot worse in the Middle East, mark my words. The question is, will we even be there? Between the timetables for withdrawl and our economy on the verge of collapse, I have a feeling we’re going to be on the sidelines, not even in the building – much less the room – when it comes time for peace.

    Let them attack and kill each other. That’s what they do best. What can one say good about a group of people who turn the mentally disabled, their daughters and sons and even their wives into walking bombs. They hate with a passion the only successful and humane nation in the region, Israel. Truth be known they hate America as well. They will however hide behind us and encourage us to fight the terrible Persian. Then, just like Kuwait, when the danger is over they will go back to obstructing our foreign policy, and funding Jihadis.
    They are a small and ignorant lot whose success has been largely due to a fluke of geology. Let them go at it hammer and tongs. Then nuke the last survivor.
