#1 Look. Bush's sensitivites are a bit to much to stomach.

Why isn't there a massive wetworks or contract let to remove the nutcase branches of the Saudi Royal Pig Sty?

There are 5000 primary and 50,000 secondary royals. Assume 10% matter!
That means 500 primary and 5,000 secondary tits up.
Its reasonable!!!
Why isn't it being done?

#2 Who wants to bet that the Sods haven't just out and out bought complete bombs from the Paks? Why buy all that expensive tech and knowhow when you have enough money and pull that you can just buy the final product. Others have commented how incompetent and featherbedding the Sods are. What makes anyone think they could run a fuel cycle and weapon production line either by themselves or by importing enough Pak or other foreign experts?

#3 DO,

There has been much informed speculation to just that. The Saudis financed the Paki A-bomb and speculation is that they got warheads in return. The Chinese designed, Pakistani built bombs would make a nice little payload for the Saudi's Chinese built DF-3 ballistic missiles (2500km range).

#4 Pakistan and Saudi Arabia recently signed a 1.2 billion dollar agreement for sale of tanks, armored vehicles and trainer aircraft.

This is a very strange deal. Why would Saudi purchase a billion dollars worth of Pak assembled Chinese weapons when they have the best tanks - American made M1s lying unused in storage?

Well, this equipment would not be used for the Saudi military. It would equip a Pakistani armored brigade based in the kingdom.

This raises another question: Why host a Pak brigade? Sadddam is gone and a single Pak brigade hardly deters Iran or Israel.

A billion dollars for Pak troops? Why?

One very strong possibility is the Paks are needed to protect something in Saudi. Something belonging to Pak and transferred to Saudi but under Pak command and control.

Nukes.

Pak missiles would provide Saudi with deterrent capability and provide Pak with a launch site far from Indian strike aircraft.
