Israel National News ^ | November 18, 2011 | Gavriel Queenann

Newly acquired intelligence reports indicate several Arab countries in the Middle East are lobbying the US to strike Iran this year, Israel's Channel 10 reported.

According to the report, which is said to be making its rounds in Britain's political circles, Saudi Arabia wants the Obama administration to attack Iran's nuclear facilities before the final withdrawal of US troops from Iraq.

US president has vowed to close the door on American military involvement in Iraq by year’s end, but Riyadh is reportedly afraid Iran will use the American exit to take over the country.

The answer should be "Hell no".

They should clean up their own house.

Uh... where were these oh-so-concerned Arabs during Iran`s failed Green Revolution in 2009? Sitting on their a**es like the U.S., that`s what.

It’s always nice to have someone doing your dirty work. You don’t have to spend the money and you can always tell your adversary that you had nothing to do with the beating he got.

Besides, why help any muslim nations? They are richer than we are and they are NOT OUR FRIENDS, dammit.

They want the US to do it, instead of the Israelis, because if Israel does it, that would present them with a real conundrum.

I heard the same remark from a friend that worked for Aramco in the 70’s. Nothing has changed I see. :-)

Why aren’t we furnishing them a price quote?

How about $2.5 trillion in gold or oil?

The Saudi’s never want the blood of fellow Islamists on their hands.

Israel taking them out would require a call for War, None of the Arabs want that. Just the Islamofascist.

So who do you call.

The U.S. We are held hostage by the Oil Cartels. So what is spineless Zero going to do. Go after Iran.

Did you see the story on the NEW Supersonic flying BOMB.
Can strike ANYWHERE in the world in an HOUR.

Why release that info NOW?

If the Arab (primarily the saudis an emirates) want Israel or the US to go agter Iran, they will have to play a very active part. They just can’t cheer us on as they shake their pom poms (while in burkas)—they will have to act substantially. Actually, I love seeing the shia and sunni go at each other. Keeps the heat off the jews and the americans.

I agree- we should keep out. They want to use us as a scapegoat for killing muslims and all muslims will stop protesting theirown governments and rally against the west

I’d love to see us take out Iran. Unfortunately it would guarantee Bambi gets reelected.

I suppose we could fling a nuke at Mecca, and then say, “Oops, we missed. Sorry.”

Do the Saudis really want that? Not so sure. At least they should make up their mind.
