The dictators, cronies, and bag men of the Arab League are having a squabble fest in Egypt, whining and complaining and failing to agree on much of anything—except that they really hate Jews and will continue helping Palestinians kill as many as possible.

“My expectation for the summit isn’t much. They will try to postpone a war as much as possible in the hope that opportunities will arise to end the crisis,” said Abdel-Moneim Said, head of Egypt’s al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies.

Some Gulf Arab states, such as Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain, host U.S. forces and may be springboards for a war. Saudi Arabia has also been home to U.S. forces since the 1991 Gulf War.

Egypt, a major U.S. aid recipient, has increasingly put the onus of averting a war on Baghdad. Syria, which Washington accuses of sponsoring terrorism, has strongly opposed a war on its doorstep, saying U.S. targets in the Middle East extend beyond Iraq.

Delegates said the Arab leaders might also discuss the possibility of sending envoys to Baghdad, Washington and other key capitals to explain their views in hopes of averting war.

They said the foreign ministers had already agreed on draft resolutions on a number of other topics, including renewed support for a Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation.
