#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?

#3  See also DAILY KOS > SAUDI ARABIA + ITS MODERNIZED ICBM PROGRAM. KSA may had originally got 'em from CHINA, but now these have been replaced by PAK BM systems.

* WAFF > PRINCE WARNS SAUDI ARABIA OF APOCALYPSE. Prince TURKI ABDUL AZIZ AL-SAUD warns KSA ROYAL FAMILY to either REFORM [democraticize] OR STEP DOWN = ABDICATE POWER; OR ELSE RISK/INDUCE OVERTHROW VIA POTENS VIOLENT COUP OR MASS REVOLUTION [regime change].

#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:
