This is truly a transparent attempt at disinformation. This poser knows full well that Saudi doesn't need to build its own bomb. Sheesh.

a large percentage of the people who are foreign born in Saudi Arabia are Pakistani. They are paid to work there doing the jobs that Saudi’s can afford not to do. One of those jobs will be installing & maintaining nuclear weapons.

Oh, please! Saudi Arabia isn’t going to build a nuclear weapon. Saudi Arabia can’t build a nuclear weapon. Saudi Arabia hasn’t even built a car.

They have enough money to buy anything they want

Build one? With that much cash they can buy one from any of a number of nations.

I suspect that they actually already “have” them, they just aren’t actually on SA territory. So, technically, they don’t have them.

Of course, the Saudis will buy one just like they have bought weapons from us including AWACs. The purchased Chinese IRBMs in the late 80’s. Pakistan or NK will sell them nuclear weapons. And if necessary, they will hire expats to run the show.

I lived five years in the Kingdom. They can hire anyone they like. There were over 1 million expats in the Kingdom when I was there.

Saudi’s want a nuclear weapon? Sure, drop one on Mecca.

If they can’t go nuke—they will go for other WMDs like Gas, Germs, poisons or Drity Bombs, A little bit of antrax gos a long way. Lots of awful stuff you can use to take the fight out of a nation of fanatics. Iraq nailed Iran with poison gas. I bet IS will use gas to take Baghdad, and a dirty bomb to humble the west. Even Egypt may face terror weapons.

Why do you think the Saudi owned US legislators are rushing through to give Obama fast track trade authority ? Why the rush ? You think it has something to do with US citizens ?

Saudi Arabia, is a where men do not want to work at jobs for which they are qualified; in which women by and large aren’t allowed to work

Hmmm.

And we treat them like Royalty?

It seems we honor them in a very adoring manner. Every time I see that pic, I actually smell something foul.

And if Israel won’t sell the Saudis a Bomb someone else will. Russia likes cash.

You have to marvel at Fareed Zakaria if he really thinks that the Saudis can only get a nuclear weapon if they build one.
