Porter and Lobe report that the Bush-era cables, in fact, show a far more moderate line among the Arab officials, with the focus not on nuclear weapons but on Iranian influence in Iraq. (Once the U.S. military ended Saddam Hussein’s Sunni regime, it was a certainty that Iranian-allied Shi’a Iraqis would dominate any new government, such as U.S.- backed prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki.) Porter and Lobe write,

“Even if [Saudi King] Abdullah had in fact offered explicit support for a military attack against Iran in the meeting with [Gen. David] Petraeus, however, that would not be a reliable indicator of Saudi policy toward the issue, according to Chas Freeman, a veteran diplomat who served as Washington's ambassador to Saudi Arabia from 1989 to 1992 and maintains contact with top Saudi officials.

“Freeman told us that such a statement would ‘fit a pattern of communication with the United States of ingratiating themselves with their protector’” (emphasis added).

According to Porter and Lobe, the WikiLeaks cables from the Obama years reflect even less interest in military action against Iran. Officials of the United Arab Emirates, for example, repeatedly expressed concern to U.S. representatives that an Israeli attack on Iran would destabilize the region, and asserted that the way to reduce Iranian influence would be for Israel and the Palestinians to reach a settlement. Those thirsting for war with Iran have left those facts out of their accounts.

The American people were stampeded into war against Iraq through a shameless propaganda and disinformation campaign led by government officials and facilitated by prominent newspapers about fake WMD.We must not let the same thing happen with Iran.
AT THE END, US IS COMING HOME FROM IRQA AND SOON AFGHANISTAN EMPTY-HANDED AFTER SO MANY LIVE SACRIFICES. SINCE IRAQ IS A MEMBER OF NPT, REST ASSURED, IRAQ WILL FOLLOW SUIT LIKE IRAN.
