Sharia law, which both countries use - try to compare apples to apples....

Iran is going after the nuke, not Saudi Arabia, although at the rate Iran is going Saudi won't be far belong.

Since 1998, the Western diplomats and intelligence agencies have long been rumored to have an agreement whereby Pakistan (would) sell Saudi Arabia warheads and its locally developed nuclear technology if security in the Gulf deteriorate, although both countries sharply denied the existence of such agreement between them.[7] In 2003 it was reported that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia had entered a secret agreement on "nuclear cooperation" providing Saudi Arabia with nuclear weapons technology in return for access to cheap oil for Pakistan.[8] In March 2006, the German magazine Cicero reported that Saudi Arabia had since 2003 received assistance from Pakistan to acquire nuclear missiles and warheads. Satellite photos allegedly reveal an underground city and nuclear silos with Ghauri rockets in Al-Sulaiyil, south of the capital Riyadh.[9] Pakistan has denied aiding Saudi Arabia in any nuclear ambitions.[10]

Ah yes.. the ever so discombobulated duck duck nuke game...

Ive also heard Iran has nukes from Russia...
Syria has nukes and Chemical weapons from Russia..
Former Balkan states have Nukes from Russia and China...

All talk, yet no valid confirmable proof aside from the anonymous So and so received a security briefing this morning where it was revealed that...

Giving that info the benefit of the doubt then I would point out that unlike Iran, Saudi Arabia has not threatened to end the existence of any neighboring countries, where as Iran has.

Can you link a source please for Pakistan and Saudi Arabia where actual weapons have been sold and transfered?

Saudi Arabia funded the Al qaeda terrorists in 9/11,funded Osama,funded Chechen terror,funding KLA in Kosovo, is presently committing genocide in Bahrain,was involved on behalf of arab nations in 1973 war yom kippur war .

Need I continue?

And Syria had been provided chemical weapons technology by Russia.Thats fact.

According to Western security services, the magazine added, Saudi scientists have been working since the mid-1990s in Pakistan, a nuclear power since 1998, thanks to the work of the now-disgraced Pakistani scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan. Cicero also quoted US military analyst John Pike as saying that Saudi bar codes can be found on half of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons “because it is Saudi Arabia which ultimately co-financed the Pakistani atomic nuclear programme.” AFP

I am asking for the actual source that supports your claim that Pakistan has given Saudi actual usable nukes..

I brought the other examples up because it was the same thing.. Claims but nothing to support the claim. The reason this is a sticking point with me is because Iran could easily use Saudi nukes to justify their own. They wouldn't need to hide it under civilian programs.

This is true but we own the Saudi's right now with money. They are the biggest purchaser of U.S. weaponry in the world.

We don't own nothing of Saudi Arabia, they have more money then America could even count...that's some funny stuff right there.
