In a HUMAN EVENTS exclusive, former UN Ambassador John Bolton argued that a preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities would privately have the full backing of many Middle East countries.
"The Obama Administration does not manifestly understand," noted Bolton, that "an Israeli attack against the Iranian nuclear program would be supported in the Arab world. It would be supported by the Arab states in the Persian Gulf region. It would be supported by Egypt and others who don't want Iran to have nuclear weapons any more that the Israelis do."

I believe many Middle East countries are afraid of Ahmadinejad because they see him as the same kind of loose cannon that Saddam Hussein was in that part of the world. And a loose cannon with nukes would be even worse.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.............
Arabs have despised Persians for thousands of years.
There is no love lost between Persians and Arabs.....
Beat me to it by 28 seconds....
Precisely.
Nobody with any shred of a connection to reality wants Iran’s mullahs having nukes.
“Arab Countries Would Support Attack On Iran”
Then they should attack then. Let them spill their blood for their own interests.
AMEN!!!
I have been thinking the same (not that I know anything). The Sauds and other local nations are fearful of the prospect of a nuclear Iran. While many ME countries don't want the threat of a nuclear Iran, the Sauds simply want to continue their oppressive Wahhabism dictatorship.
As an aside, an Iranian woman is going to be buried breast high (gotta cover those nasty things less the Islamic men lose control of themselves) in the ground and the public stone her with small rocks so she doesn't die immediately. Supposedly, she got laid from someone not her husband. Even if true, so what? What a wonderful peaceful religion Islam is, so obambi and bush tells me.
I don't trust one single Muslim in the entire world...yes, I know there are some billion of them. I believe every Muslim is susceptible to radicalism. Try to take their cult away and just watch.
To continue, where are the feminists? They moan and groan and whine and complain about every perceived slight in the Western world. But where are they when it comes to "honor killings" and young girl "genital mutilation" (both have happened here) and stoning some woman in public for having a tryst? Where are they?
And where is the UN outrage? Oh, right, the UN is busy condemning Israel for protecting itself from hundreds/thousands of rockets shot at them. Sorry to get off point...I'm just sick of the thought of this barbaric stoning thing. And we don't send them back to the 7th century they want to live in why? Don't bother to answer, it's all about collateral damage. Western civilization now has a suicide compact to allow these monsters to grow...
‘Bout time for the ME to take out it’s own trash. Frankly, they should be slipping us money under the table for Iraq.
The Arabs are all hoping that Israel will take out Iran's nuclear program, but once that happens they'll use the attack on "our Islamic brothers" as an excuse to go after Israel. I wish Netanyahu would launch the attack, finally (I expected it two years ago), but I don't blame him for whatever decision he makes in the face of universal hostility.
Yes, but they are all Muslim brothers now, even if they kill each over their different sects. Still, Infidels are priority one with them...either convert of die or they will use Western law to do so.
I never thought I would say this, "Bomb their black rock". Maybe then, they will see that allah is a punk.
"Then they should attack then. Let them spill their blood for their own interests."
Absolutely agree.
This may be true, but their support will not be overt because of the Islamo terrorists in their midst.

RE: ‘Arab Countries Would Support Attack On Persian Country’
“My brother and I against our cousin, my cousin and I against the outlier.”
It takes care of the problem and we don't get blamed for it.
I like Bolton...I really do, BUT if an attack or multiple attacks CANNOT destroy Iran’s nuclear weapons capabilities then the attack(s) will do more harm than good.
I have long been saying that Israel has not attacked Iran’s nuclear weapons facilities because Israel’s intel has established that short of the use of tactical nukes, they cannot stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Prove me wrong.
