Saudi nuclear weapons 'on order' from Pakistan
BBC News ^ | November 6 | Mark Urban

Posted on 11/06/2013 7:40:18 PM PST by PghBaldy

Saudi Arabia has invested in Pakistani nuclear weapons projects, and believes it could obtain atomic bombs at will, a variety of sources have told BBC Newsnight. ... Earlier this year, a senior Nato decision maker told me that he had seen intelligence reporting that nuclear weapons made in Pakistan on behalf of Saudi Arabia are now sitting ready for delivery.

Last month Amos Yadlin, a former head of Israeli military intelligence, told a conference in Sweden that if Iran got the bomb, "the Saudis will not wait one month. They already paid for the bomb, they will go to Pakistan and bring what they need to bring."

I’d like to see a foreign policy that says we will not allow any Muslim nation to gain nuclear, biological or chemical weapon capability. None. Of course that means that Pakistan’s existing capability needs to be “downgraded” somehow. India I’m less worried about. But everybody else... Outta the pool.

Really amazing, the way Saudi Arabia makes NOTHING. NOT GUNS, not ammo, not fighter planes, not doctors, not nurses. Its ALL imported.

NUKES...? Also imported.

Its really amazing

I heard Saudi had its own secret nuclear program but I think maybe this report might be true.

Nothing will go wrong. The guys in charge of the nukes won't remember where the "on" button is.
Besides, when/if the order goes out to fire, all the Saudis will be out drinking tea and talking about their families. That's what the men AND women do, only in gender segregated groups.

1. All true. They have date palms and a fishing industry. Hamur is their fish, sea fish, white, pretty tasty.

2. Nukes: the Saudis wouldn't know what to do with them. They would have to import all kinds of expertise just to find a place to put them, store them, build the rockets to deliver them.
Personally I don't think the Saudis CARE one iota about nukes. they might nuke their coffee...but that's about the extent of their nuke-mentality.

3. Not amazing: impossible.

4. I heard Saudi had its own secret nuclear program but I think maybe this report might be true.
Mr. Saudi was high on one of their hallucinogens.
Or he was an escapee from one of their funny farms.
Secret nuclear program: IMPOSSIBLE to keep a secret like that in this day and age. From the expertise to the nuke material are thousands of blabber-mouths, documents and tests.

***The Saudi method would be to HIRE some country to blow some enemy to bits...and take the blame.
Who me? I was home drinking tea with my cousin Ali.

I couldn't agree more with your astute analysis. Three nuclear-armed Muslim countries representing religious sects hostile to one another; a nuclear-armed Israel being forced to defend itself from annihilation; and a compromised White House that appears to be aligned with Iran.

But wait, there's more: China, N.K. and Russia slavering on the sidelines, waiting to move quickly to take advantage of whatever opportunities develop.

This is deja vu all over again, American and European appeasement and disengagement similar to the run-up to WWII. It isn't a sleeper cell in the White House; it's a flat-out traitorous enterprise run by enemies of the American state.

Frankly, I agree.

Meanwhile, outside the White House the Republicans fret and do nothing while Obama continues to implement his plan to destroy this nation.

Moronic assessment. The Saudis pay for the nukes, missiles AND Paki operators, who know how to nuke, say, Tel Aviv.

It's what is begotten when the US mollycoddles Pakistan. They should have been annihilated by India back in the 70s, but instead, the US chose to save them. Too bad for Israel. No wonder they are running to India.

they won't use nukes against Israel -- that would damage the Dome of the Rock and they KNOW Israel would immediately launch against Mecca and Medina.

But Iran would not target Mecca and Medina -- they would target Riyadh or Jeddah

So Obama and the Bushes do everything they can to please the Saudis.
