So now instead of being our "ally", the UAE will pay for Iran and North Korea to finish their nuclear weapons? Is that what you are saying?

I think that's a distinct possibility. If you ever really want to piss someone off, pick someone who has done you a really solid favor and publicly condemn them in the harshest terms possible. We've just spent the last week telling the world these guys aren't too far away from bivouacking in the same cave as Osauma. The people running UAE had a choice of which side's military could take advantage of their territory.
Either
A) they pick the US, because we are a loyal and trustworthy ally, or
B) They could choose AL Quaida because of cultural and religious solidarity.
We've just told them to take their dirty hands off our ports because we want them run by our own. Why wouldn't you expect them to feel absolutely infuriated at us for behaving in that way?
