Arab nations eye nuke program Persian Gulf states to consider starting “peaceful” nuclear program

The Associated Press

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia | The oil-rich Arab states on the Persian Gulf said Sunday that they will consider starting a joint nuclear program for peaceful purposes.

The announcement comes as the United States and its allies allege Iran is developing nuclear weapons in violation of treaties. It also was sure to increase concerns about a regional nuclear arms race. snip

Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal, was quick to tell reporters after the closing session that the group did not want to be “misunderstood,” saying its aim “is to obtain the technology for peaceful purposes, no more no less.”

We would be able to more forcefully confront this nuclear proliferation. But now the US govt. credibility amongst its people, amongst the middle east, amongst the Europeans and the rest of the world, and the UN is shot.
