For peaceful purposes, of course. What would the cuddly little Arab states want with nuclear energy except to spread more peace, peace, peace all around? By Abdullah Shihri and Diana Elias for Associated Press, with thanks to James:
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - The oil-rich Arab states on the Persian Gulf announced Sunday that they are considering a shared nuclear program for peaceful purposes.The statement at the end of a meeting of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council was likely to rachet up concerns about the danger of nuclear weapons spreading in the Middle East.
Iran is now the only Muslim country in the region with a nuclear program, and the U.S. and allies suspect it is secretly developing atomic weapons in violation of treaty commitments.
Israel also has long been thought to have nuclear bombs, a situation confirmed last week by incoming U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
In an October warning about the threat of nuclear arms proliferation, a U.N. watchdog body, the International Atomic Energy Agency, said the Arab states of Egypt, Jordan and Yemen were among nations around the world considering developing atomic power programs in the near future.
The Arab states around the Persian Gulf have not previously pursued nuclear power because they possess substantial oil resources and have lacked the scientific know-how, but their statement said they will look into the uses of atomic energy.
"The (leaders) commissioned a study by members of the Gulf Cooperation Council to set up a common program in the area of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, according to international standards and systems," said the final statement of the two-day summit in the Saudi capital.
The statement read by Abdul Rahman al-Attiyah, secretary general of the political and economic alliance, did not elaborate on the plan by the group — Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman.
"We hope that our statements will not be misunderstood," Saudi Arabia's foreign minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal, told reporters. "This is not a secret and we are doing this out in the open. Our aim is to obtain the technology for peaceful purposes, no more no less."
Of course, they share plans...all of them.
Look at what's beengoingon the past decade.
Same as I said in another thread...
Countries, many rogue lunatics, all islamist, pursuing the same goal, claim it's for peaceful purposes...for nations awash in oil up to their ears...and they expect us to believe them without reservation.
Yep, Judge Judy is provenright once again:
"Don't pee on my leg & tell me it's raining!"
They're doing just that to the western world.
Classic Taqiyyah
"...peaceful purposes, no more no less."
Well, no point in calling attention to their massive supply of oil... If they didn't have all that oil, I don't think they would have to reiterate that, "peaceful" thing. Do they really think that we are so stupid as to believe that?

Islamic peace that is no longer an ambiguous term with us. So we understand you very clearly Mr. al-Faisal. It is about time that we did something about these clowns before they blow our cities into the Stratosphere:
Are we gonne bomb these people or will we keep the plans in some achieve file management system for muslims to erase in the future? Folks, we ought to get real, we can't afford for our security sake let Iran develop or even get close to developing Nukes. The Arabs probably were supplied the blue prints by Pakies a way back. I read it on another thread that Pakies will be supplies with so much HW, that they will pose a real threat to its neighbor India. Are we so crazy that we struck that kind of deal with the snakes?
My understanding on this matter is that Saudi Arabia is already a nuclear power.
Pakistan holds the nukes and shares ownership of them with Saudi Arabia. The Saudi government in return gives monetary aid to Pakistan, and as a gift built the largest mosque in the world in Islamabad.
My facts may be wrong but I recall seeing something on this matter some time ago.

How nice! They want Nuclear Technology for peaceful purposes. One might actually want to believe that if it were not for the POISON that spews from their mouths at every opportunity.
Israel is surrounded by the most EVIL nations on Earth. we better not dare criticize them for defending themselves. we would do exactly what they ARE going to do if we were in Israels place. We should not pretend otherwise.
They grow more unified and we grow more fractured. A true recipe for inaction and, in turn, a nuclear disaster.
Even if all these claims of "peaceful nukes" are true (which is laughable) is it really a good idea to have these idiots have nuclear power? What happens if there's an accident? And what about all the waste? All of a sudden they know how to run a peaceful energy program? Not likely.
if anyone believes the Arab nations are not going for atom bombs I would like to sell you some oceanfront property in Arizona, what's scary is all these cultures less than 80 years ago were living in the desert nomads or as peasants living in mud hutsdo we really want people there this primitive and still think in terms of their tribe to have atomic technology???

They're building plenty of mosks as "gifts" to us.
WHERE ARE OUR NUKES????
On a more serious note: Maybe the SOWdis are thretening our governments with these nukes to get their minions into our lands.. that might explain why our Dhinniticians are all knucking under.
Yep. The ROP spreading nuthin' but lurve.
"This is not a secret and we are doing this out in the open. Our aim is to obtain the technology for peaceful purposes, no more no less."
What say you, James Baker??
For peaceful purposes, of course. What would the cuddly little Arab states want with nuclear energy except to spread more peace, peace, peace all around?
... and they are not even lying ...
or would you think that any of those would have troubles inside when pushing the button to nuke us? ~~~ it's for their temporary peace & joy ~~~
Nothing new, about the intent of the Islamics never to allow Israel to exist in peace. Except now they have Bush & Co.controlled by Baker and his patrons, the Saudis.
There are Jews who still believe that G. W. is the best friend Israel ever had.
They may be right at that. You know what that says.

Couldn't agree more!! Sadly they probably DO think we are that stupid.
If they keep this nonsense up they will soon discover they are their own worst enemy.

Love the site meter - it gives me a little hope:)
Over 5 and half million! Great stuff!
NATO, ANYBODY HOME?
Whatever happened to NATO? This nuclear proliferation among Islamic regimes hellbent on world dominance should be confronted by NATO. Wasting time with the UN should be done just for political purposes, but NATO allies should hold publicized summits and develop real counter strategies to combat this spread evil. The fate of the West hangs in the balance.
Robert Spencer, how dare you use irony to imply that arab muslims aren't peaceful? Shame on you!
NATO, ANYBODY HOME?
NATO like the UN is a paper tiger. NATO CONSISTS OF :
BELGIUM--DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN IRAQ
BULGARIA--HELPING IN IRAQ
CANADA--NOT PARTICIPATING IN IRAQ
CHECH REP-HELPING IN IRAQ
DENMARK--HELPING IN IRAQ
ESTONIA--HELPING IN IRAQ
FRANCE--DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN IRAQ
GERMANY--DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN IRAQ
HUNGARY--CHICKENED OUT IN IRAQ
ICELAND--HELPING IN IRAQ
ITALY--CHICKENED OUT IN IRAQ
LATAVIA-HELPING IN IRAQ
LITHUANIA--HELPING IN IRAQ
LUXEMBOURG--NOT PARTICIPATING IN IRAQ
NETHERLANDS--CHICKENED OUT IN IRAQ
NORWAY--CHICKENED OUT IN IRAQ
POLAND--HELPING IN IRAQ
PORTUGAL--CHICKENED OUT IN IRAQ
ROMANIA--HELPING IN IRAQ
SLOVAKIA--HELPING IN IRAQ
SLOVENIA--HELPING IN IRAQ
SPAIN--SURRENDERED TO ISLAM
TURKEY--CHICKENED OUT IN IRAQ
UNITED KINGDOM--HELPING OUT IN IRAQ
UNITED STATES--HELPING OUT IN IRAQ.
AS YOU CAN SEE MOST OF THE MAJOR EUROPEAN COUNTRIES THAT STAND TO LOSE THE MOST ARE NOT FIGHTING THE ISLAMIC THRILL KILL MACHINE. SOME have already surrendered.
I note with interest that the smaller countries seem to recognize the threat better that their larger neighbors.
As with the United Nations, NATO is worthless unless all members work as a team.
There is strength in Unity, otherwise there is defeat. I see a bunch of chickens running around the yard with their heads cut off.
To those countries who are not helping--cluck cluck cluck. Prepare to surrender your freedom.
Tookson - 'Shirley, you can't be serious!'
NATO? Okay, okay, , WOW! THAT was a good laugh!!!!!!!
Tookson, Tookson, those EUnuchs are 'bout useless as the UN (Useless Nitwits). The only things they are good at is surrender and stealing oil money from dictators. The MAIN beneficiaries of the oil-for-food scandal were......... (Ready?) Fwanch, Germany and Russia. And you want them to do something in Iraq? Hell, we had to bail their sorry asses out in Bosnia (and still are...).
I ran across a piece in Steyn's book where he cites that in Germany they have a phenom where they are discouraging something called Stehpinkeln - standing while urinating. Good G-d, it's true!
"German men told they can no longer stand and deliver" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/08/18/wpinkl18.xml
Follow the link, it's true! OMG! Okay, the EUnuchization of EUnuchistan is complete and from the link has been for a couple of years. Too much!
Seriously, anybody wanting to trust the SA's with nukes has got to be absolutely nutters.
Heaven help us!
The Hobo
Oil rich arab states sitting on oil galore don't need nuclear energy.
the nuclear genie is out of the bottle. Everyone wants a nuclear weapon. Nuclear weapons in the hands of muslims is a death sentence to civilization as we know it.
Muslims have a great respect for procreation but, have no respect for human life as a whole.
Religion of nukes.
