Yes, it appears that things aren't nearly so dire as suggested, doesn't it?

Hi CobaltBlue; Re: "Maybe the people who keep claiming that the US is acting unilaterally can't read, so let's just make a list for them. From the article you cite, here's the list: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar acknowledge that their countries may be used as bases for attacks on Iraq."

Kuwait has announced that they will not be involved with an attack on Iraq without UN sanction as recently as a few days ago. I would guess that I could extract similar statements from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman and Qatar.

Do you have public statements from any of those nations (from their own words, not some neocon interpreting what they really mean) suggesting that they are signing up for a war not directly sanctioned by the United Nations?
