#1 "It has committed never to acquire nuclear weapons" yada yada yada.
OK. A Pakistani Air Force transport lands at King Khalid air base, is towed into a hanger, and plugged into base power and support. Doors close.
"We don't have the bomb. The Paks have the bomb"

#2 I call BS on anyone who doesn't believe there is some truth to this rumor.

The KSA will get a nuke SOMEWHERE, even if they have to buy it from the Israelis to counter the mad mullahs in Teheran.

#4 A U.S. State Department official noted Tuesday that Saudi Arabia is a signatory of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.

I thought Iran was too. So no problem, right? /sarc

#7 I'd say that Saudi, Jordan and Egypt all sign secret peace agreements with Israel and come under the Sampson Option Dome, an attack on one is an attack on all. Very kinda per WWI with secret alliances.

#8 So like the Saudis to buy instead of build.

#10 This is old news.
They either have several or means to have them delivered. They don't need anything too large, it's only going to Tehran.
