Arabia
Kingdom Denies Nuke Report
2006-04-01
Saudi Arabia yesterday denied a German magazine report that it was working on a secret nuclear program with the help of Pakistani experts. The report “is totally unfounded,” a Defense Ministry spokesman told the Saudi Press Agency, adding that Riyadh “advocates imposing nuclear non-proliferation in the (Middle East) region.”
"Nope. Nope. Never happened."
Pakistan also rejected the report. “It is a fabricated story and motivated by vicious intentions,” Foreign Office spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said.
"Trust us on that!"

#6  We may have nothing to fear, but it will still need to be fixed. Nasty, selfish children don't get to play with grown-up's toys.

#5  If the Saudi nukes work as well as the rest of the Saudi military, and there's no reason to believe they don't, we have nothing to fear.

#4  Ah, yes, BCCI, Bank for Crooks and Criminals International. HERE is a link to the executive summary of the Senate investigation of them. Multi-layered bunch into everything, including the US banking system.

#3  The Saudis are probably very keen on getting their hand in the nuclear cash register, but for reasons other than what might be supposed. They fear Iran in a big way, and righly so. If something doesn't change drastically, Iran is going to make a bomb someday and the Sauds are scared shitless of the idea.

#2  So what was the quid pro quo in the Saud' financing deal? I suspect that the Sauds already have a couple of nukes.

#1  Saudi paid for the Pak bomb and hid the payments in the mess call BCCI. (blast from the past... Dem leaders, rice gate, bank failures of the 80s...)
