War preparations: US training UAE pilots on F-16's
The United States is training pilots from the United Arab Emirates on American F-16's to help prepare the pilots for war against Iran. The pilots, from seven oil-rich UAE kingdoms, are participating in an exercise at an American Air Force base in Nevada after having spent two weeks training at an Arizona base. Closer ties with the Arab states provides the U.S. with better assurance of an immediate defense if war breaks out with the Islamic Republic or if an Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities prompts an all-out regional war.Well someone still thinks there's going to be a war. I hope they've told the President.

“They’re getting world-class training,” Col. Greg Stroud told Defence.com in reference to the UAE delegates.
“The Americans also work with UAE commanders to figure out what kind of surprises the Iranians might try to pull,” noted StrategyPage.com. “Arab nations fear the Iranians, who have dominated the region for thousands of years, and have a long history of coming up with imaginative tactics, and using them aggressively and often with success.”

One wonders why. After all engagement with Iran is working! Its clear one hand of the Obama Administration doesn't know what the other hand is up to.
