The Kingdom's Double-Game

Frank Gaffney again points out the double dealing activity of the Saudis. Way back in 1069, I was in the Army, reading high altitude imagery of Saudi Arabia. What I found most interesting is that for every American depot of military equipment, there was a Soviet depot. I would assume that the Saudis continue to play all sides against each other for their gain. We cannot continue to supply one of the most repressive Islamic nations with anything that can be used to attack Israel. Recently, Saudi has made it clear that they want to develop nuclear energy. No Islamic country can be allowed to join Pakistan as Islamic powers with nuclear weapons.

Even before Bush administration efforts to prevent Tehran's Islamofascist mullahs from obtaining nuclear weapons were undone by a politicized National Intelligence Estimate, the step of up-arming rival nations was an obvious move. In the aftermath of that NIE, it became the only game in town.
