Pakistan-Saudi trade nuke tech for oil

[Robb]

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Oct. 20 (UPI)

Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have concluded a secret agreement on nuclear cooperation, an unimpeachable source said Monday.

"It will be vehemently denied by both countries," added this ranking Pakistani source known to this correspondent for more than a decade as a knowledgeable insider, "but future events will confirm that Pakistan has agreed to provide KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) with the wherewithal for a nuclear deterrent."

In a lightning, hastily arranged, 26-hour "state visit" in Islamabad, Crown Prince Abdullah Abdulaziz, Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler, flew across the Arabian Sea with an entourage of 200, including Foreign Minister Prince Saud and several Cabinet ministers. The pro-American Saudi Defense Minister Prince Sultan, who is next in line to succeed to the throne after Abdullah, was not part of the delegation.

The CIA believes that Pakistan already exported nuclear know-how to North Korea in exchange for missile technology. Last year, a Pakistani C-130 was spotted by satellite loading North Korean missiles at Pyongyang airport. Pakistan said this was a straight purchase for cash and denied a nuclear quid pro quo.

1. With all of the saber-rattling in the Middle East, I'm surprised...

...Saudi Arabia hadn't already done this.

Another thought comes to mind...if they were really behind 911 like some people would have us believe, why wouldn't they have procured nuclear weapon knowledge long before ordering the attacks?

At last count, the NeoCons would have us believe the following:

--WMDs in Iraq was the primary justification for war...they just haven't been found yet;

--Syria is safe-keeping Iraq's WMDs and supports terror attacks on Israel...a good reason for Israel and/or the U. S. to attack Syria;

--Jordan has not been as supportive as the NeoCons would like...attack them too;

--Pakistan definitely has WMDs...but they're our "friend" despite reports of Al Qaeda operating from that country;

--Iran must have WMDs so the first step toward an attack is to send in the "UN" inspection teams;

--And to justify the long PR campaign to justify an attack on Saudi Arabia...Saudi Arabia is getting nuclear data from Pakistan, and despite the FBI Director's comments that we really don't know who the attackers were, they obviously came from Saudi Arabia. Oh, did I mention they have the largest oil reserves in the world?

3. Be careful what you wish for.

This could be planted information. Remember, "Reverend" Moon owns UPI now (which is why Helen Thomas quit the company), and he is tight with the Bush family.

This could be one of those manufactured stories, like the ones we've recently been hearing about, being put out there as preprogramming for taking on Saudi Arabia sometime in the near future.
