#1 The intelligence agencies of the two countries are known to have regularly exchanged information...
The Soddies and Pakiwakis together is like the Berlin-Rome axis.

#2 Another tour of Kahuta? Centrifuge tourism?

From 1999...
The prince toured the Kahuta uranium enrichment plant and an adjacent factory where the Ghauri missile is assembled with Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif and was briefed by A.Q. Khan, the father of Pakistan's atom bomb. The site is so secret that former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto said she was not allowed to go to there during her tenure in office.

#5 Greater acceptability of Pakistani troops by their public could be important for the Saudis

The Pakistani troops are there to safeguard "nuclear assets" transferred to Saudi Arabia - warheads and missiles.

#6 This doesn't scare me too much. Kinda of like when the Klump brothers aligned against me. I kicked both thier asses and never had a problem with them again. United, divided, re-aligned with third parties or otherwise. Shouldn't be to hard to punch Pakistan in it's throat.

#7 Are the Saudi nuclear assets as well maintained as the Pakistani ones?
