Of course the UAE is being threatened. I would guarantee that Iran is kicking up the threats. Does Iran want the United States to tighten up our friendship. No. Iran would like the UAE to kick us out so we lose our military advantage with the Air Force base and the U.S.S. Kittyhawk port facility.

The Iranians might also be behind the latest attempt to hit a major oil field in Saudi Arabia. And, there is talk that they are also behind the Mosque bombings in Iraq.

We need to shut up and stand behind the United Arab Emirates.

"Iran would like the UAE to kick us out so we lose our military advantage with the Air Force base and the U.S.S. Kittyhawk port facility."

Correct, as well as Syria and the terrorist faction of all ME countries. Us having those bases are a thorn in the side of terrorists.

the U.S.S. Kittyhawk port facility.

There is no dedicated "U.S.S. Kittyhawk port facility" in Mina Jebel Ali. The UAE has the ability to service all of our carriers.

Kitty Hawk has been in port in Yokosuka since mid December in SRA.
