Officials from Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Bahrain have conveyed in private conversations that they do not want the military operation to end until there are significant changes in the Iranian leadership or there’s a dramatic shift in Iranian behavior, according to the officials, who were not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

6. Well, not exactly how it unfolded.

They were not consulted, a fact that made them irate initially. Especially once the missiles were incoming. But their long-held position and advice has been that an attack on Iran would have wider regional implications, best not to go there.

Bur now - if these anonymous sources can be believed - they think the U.S. may as well finish the job. How opportunistic and self-serving of these U.S. lackey despots and monarchs. Rich fucking pigs is right. Ugh.

3. "Officials said"

I'd like to see people quoted. So much disinfo though this is believable.

4. War doesn't ever change behavior...

It only hardens the existing behavior.

5. It's not their dime - and I see their point of view.

Thing is, we shouldn't have started in the first place. There are no good solutions.
Maybe there are less than terrible ones - but I don't know what that looks like.
