Oh, like telling people in the ME that we completely fail to distinguish between the ones that help us out and the ones who don't. That won't help out our security at any time in the future. That's $billions in investment capital that could buy a whole heck of a lot of nuclear reactor fuel.

I hate to break this to you, but the UAE has already been pretty useful to the Iranian nuclear program.

They don't need any incentive from us to continue to help them.
