#2 PAKISTAN is envious of US = POTUS Obama's new BFF Iran and is a OWG Co-Superpower wannabe.

As per FREEREPUBLIC, ISRAEL is warning that ME Sunni States are desiring to acquire or dev their own Nuke Arsenals in response to Rising Nuclear Iran, of which already Nuke-armed Pakistan is suspected of being a likely supplier of NucWeaps/Bombs to its Anti-Iran/Shia Sunni brethren, or in alternate the techs required to dev one.
