Saudi Arabia vows to set off new Middle East arms race and 'match Iran's nuclear capability'

Adam Withnall     Thursday 14 May 2015

Saudi Arabia has threatened to spark a new kind of nuclear arms race in the Middle East, setting out a bullish stance ahead of a rare, high-profile meeting of the US and its Gulf allies at Camp David.

President Barack Obama faces an almost impossible balancing act between making overtures to Iran that will allow it to pursue its nuclear programme for energy purposes, and appeasing the security fears of Sunni Arab leaders.

On the table in American-Iranian talks is the prospect that the latter will be allowed to keep 5,000 centrifuges, used to enrich uranium, and a growing research and development operation.

But tensions over the US’s thawing policy towards Tehran will loom large over the meetings, already threatened by the decision of key states to send lower-level dignitaries.

According to the New York Times, one Arab leader who is preparing to meet Mr Obama today has said: “We can’t sit back and be nowhere as Iran is allowed to retain much of its capability and amass its research.”

I wonder who the Saudis will go to for expertise in this . . . the Pakistanis?  The Israelis? (Hey, it could happen.)

Hillary has already sold the uranium to Russia and they will transfer it to Iran for the nukes that Obama is allowing them to make.

And they can get missiles from China. The missiles should be pretty good by now because Bill sold them missile tech. long ago.

Damn. It almost sounds like liberals want to start a nuke war.

The Un (Kim Jong, not United Nations) already transferred some missile technology to the Iranians.

Owebuma has already set the middle east on fire.
Now he's going to raise the temperature of the wildfires he started to thermonuclear levels.

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.

Why would they not?  All the talk on both sides in the US is 'Getting other people to do the dying for our interests in the region.'  If we are going to abdicate the great power role, it appears to me that our 'Allies' have no choice but to act as if we had died.  An empire that thinks it can sub out all its fighting and dying is in the 'Decline and fall' stage.

I thought a nuke war would produce a nuclear winter?  Maybe that's Obama's plan to fight global warming and the over population problem with one plan.
