"On 25 May 1999, UAE Minister for Information
and Culture Shaykh Abdullah Bin
Zayid Al Nuhayyan met with Pakistani
nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Kahn at A.
Q. Khan Research Laboratories in
Rawalpindi. Zaiyid was interested in obtaining
Pakistani help in the nuclear field. Khan
replied: “Pakistan would not present the
atomic bomb or a missile on a platter but
could train UAE manpower.”
Pakistan (Islamabad), 26 May 1999,



"The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Minister
of Information and Culture Shaykh
Abdullah bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, during his
visit to Pakistan in May, stated that Pakistan
could contribute to the Middle East peace
process through their nuclear capabilities.
“Islamabad’s nuclear capabilities can serve
as a catalyst and Pakistan can play a key role
in putting tremendous pressure on Israel."

Whoops, looks like I cut off the end of the text in paragraph two of #134...I put the extra text in BOLD:


The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Minister of Information and Culture Shaykh Abdullah bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, during his visit to Pakistan in May, stated that Pakistan could contribute to the Middle East peace process through their nuclear capabilities. “Islamabad’s nuclear capabilities can serve as a catalyst and Pakistan can play a key role in putting tremendous pressure on Israel to vacate the occupied territories and restore the rights of Palestinians.”

Except for Israel there's no one in the Middle East I would trust to be anywhere near American ports or other sensitive installations, especialy after 9/11. It's a no-brainer that only this administration is incapable of getting despite the clear intentions of these nations.
