#1 I think this is a big FAIL, simply because the Saudis idea of PM is to hire some foreigner to do PM. Otherwise, they let stuff sit until it rusts.

They do love their toys, however. This one, for example, needs to be seen to be believed:

#4 Don't the Saudis have a battalion of Pakistan's SSG stationed there to protect the Royal Family? BTW aren't the SSG trained for using nuke weapons including the Chinese ICBMS that Saudi own?

Wouldn't it be likely that on top of the Saudi ICBM are sitting Pakistani nukes?
