Yeah, Israeli's with pictures of Saudi princes doing some very Un-Muslim things.
That's a whole new thread in itself.
Just what do the Al-Sauds have to gain from this?

What they get is a crazy not having nuclear missile pointing at them.
The main reason Bin-Laden declared war on the US was the building of Foreign Airbase's on holy land.

You mean Netyanhu promised not to point one of his 500 nuclear missiles at Saudi Arabia if they help them destroy the imaginary nukes that Iran has? What else could you possibly mean?

Dude: Not only would they use it to destroy Israel, they have stated such repeatedly. Problem is, we're considered the big satan, Israel is just the little satan.
Regarding proliferation of nuclear weapons, it was necessary to develop such a device based on a letter signed by Einstein, which stated that Germany and Japan were working on such a device, and the results of that research would produce a devestating weapon that would have ended the United States. In fact, both axis powers were within weeks of having a workable weapon, which would have been used on us.
Note that we haven't used one on an enemy since, despite several wars. We have been very restrained.
If you think that there aren't a host of nations that would use such a weapon on us if they had it, then you are misguided at best, and extremely ignorant at worst. Grow up.

I think I'm stating to see Saudi Arabia's logic. They know that the US Russia and China would never use nukes other than the one nation that has them, and even then that's a low chance. But they know Iran would. Saudi Arabia would prefer that no crazy nations have nukes, as the US Russia and China are more trustworthy with those weapons.
Not to call them appeasers, but they are. But then again, that does not make them wrong nor bad. Appeasement here is for the better

Ridiculously and dangerously simplistic statement. Let's compare the foreign affairs and military postures of nations to your bully-beating school days, and use them for a model of statecraft and national comportment. Brilliant.

I would've thought Saudi Arabia would take Iran's side before Israel's. Damn lyin' MSM. I just don't see Israel attacking Iran anytime soon though. I very well may be wrong but right now, I don't see it. I am in America though, so I got no pony in this race.

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia denied Saturday foreign media reports suggesting that it has permitted Israel to use its airspace to launch attacks against Iran.
In a statement to the Saudi Press Agency, an official source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: "Saudi Arabia has noticed some false claims in some British media that it has permitted Israel to launch attacks on Iran using its airspace."
The source added that the Kingdom has reiterated its clear stance that it will never allow anyone to use its airspace or territory to attack any other country.
The source also said it is appropriate that the Kingdom should apply this principle on Israel with which it has no relations.
