The Saudi Foreign Minister has warned Israel that war is likely to occur if she does not accept a peace plan crafted by the entire Arab World. At the same time it appears some Arab nations, once considered our allies, are making an effort not to provoke Iran, a few even abandoning our ship before a war begins.

Is a U.S.-Iran War Inevitable
?
Robert Baer
A grim fatalism has settled over Iran of late, the resigned belief that a war with the U.S. is all but inevitable. Tehran is convinced the U.S. or one of its allies was behind the March 2006 separatist violence in Iranian Baluchistan, which ended up with 20 people killed, including a Revolutionary Guard member executed. And the Iranians believe there is more to come, accusing the U.S. of training and arming Iranian Kurds and Azeris to go back home and cause problems. Needless to say the Iranians are not happy there are American soldiers on two of its borders, as well as two carriers and a dozen warships in the Gulf.
Our Arab allies are jumping ship, apparently as fast as they can.
At the opening of the Arab summit on Wednesday, Saudi King Abdallah accused the U.S of illegally occupying Iraq.
The day before, the leader of the United Arab Emirates sent his foreign minister to Tehran to tell the Iranians he would not allow the U.S. to use UAE soil to attack Iran.
That leaves us with Kuwait and Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki to face Iran.

Saudis Warn Israel: Accept Arab Plan or Face War
David Blair
The “lords of war” will decide Israel’s future if it rejects a plan crafted by the entire Arab world, Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister warned Tuesday as leaders began gathering in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, for Wednesday’ s Arab League
summit. Prince Saud al-Faisal dismissed any further diplomatic overtures towards Israel.
