#2 "The argument that they have options on Pakistanâs arsenal is more likely," the US official says.

Both Saudi and Pakistani officials vehemently deny the existence of any such deal. "Weâve never given money aimed at nuclear research and development and so we never asked or received privileges to nuclear weapons programmes," insists Prince Turki al-Faisal, the former Saudi intelligence chief.

How is it that whenever there is a really gruesome turn of events, Prince Turki al-Faisal turns up like a bad Dinar? Whether it's hob-nobbing with bin Laden or mullah Omar, possibly providing blank passports to terrorists or sending materiel to the Taleban, this putrid @sshole always floats to the surface.

Whatever story Prince Turki al-Faisal denies is probably true. The House of Saud has outlived its own usefulness. They serve no further purpose in this world save to ensure their own continued farting through silk.
