We should not dissapoint our Saudi allies.
We should ask Saudis: Nukes? Sure, no problem.
How do you like your MECCA Fried?
Plain, or covered with glass?
15 out of 19 hijackers were Saudis. Never forget!

LONDON [MENL] -- Saudi Arabia has drafted a strategic plan that envisions the end of a U.S. military umbrella over the kingdom and the procurement of nuclear weapons. Western intelligence sources said that the Saudi leadership has begun seriously considering the option of acquiring or developing nuclear weapons. The sources said the Saudis have discussed the issue with Pakistan and China as well as at least one other Muslim country.
"The Saudi effort has been led by [Defense Minister] Prince Sultan," a senior intelligence source said. "Sultan believes that nuclear weapons are required to save the Saudi regime from Iran."
The Saudi discussions were prompted by Iran's nuclear program, which the United States has asserted serves as a cover for the development of nuclear weapons. The sources said the prospect of an Iranian nuclear program by 2006 has dismayed the Saudi kingdom. During the 1980s, Saudi Arabia was said to have funded Iraq's nuclear weapons program to balance the Iranian threat.
They only need to repeat the lie. It doesn't matter that it is a lie or that they are unconvincing. They simply need to repeat the lie. There is only one reason Saudi Arabia wants nuclear weapons and that is to fight jihad.
