"The Emirates' proposal marked the first time an Arab nation has openly proposed the Iraqi leadership quit to spare the region war."

The link left out how much of a bribe we had to pay to get this statement.

UAE is one of the richest countries in the world so I hardly think they would need or want a bribe from us. But that's just me; I like to respond to sarcastic statements as if they were legitimate.

Three Arab nations call for Hussein to step down. Also about midway through the article there is a bit on groups of Arab nations and what they are calling for.

"Several nations, led by Egypt and Saudi Arabia, want to press Iraq to comply with U.N. disarmament demands; another bloc, led by Syria, wants to express staunch support for Iraq and reject any war."

All the Arab countries want to avoid war in Iraq. They care less on whether Saddam is in charge or not. So I am not surprise if one or more Arab countries called for him to step down.

On the other hand, I don't think Bush wants Saddam to step down by himself or someone overthrows him. His replacement might not be someone he has in mind. Bush wants to install his own man in Iraq.
