Saudi Newspaper: Prepare for radioactive fallout from US nuclear attack on Iran

Bush sends nuclear sub and more warships to the Gulf
by Richard Clark - http://www.opednews.com/ - Mon Mar 24, 2008

According to Chris Floyd at the Empire Burlesque web site:
The Saudi government is now preparing plans to deal with "any sudden nuclear and radioactive hazards" that may arise from an attack on Iran's nuclear reactors. This was reported by a top Saudi newspaper, Okaz, and relayed by a leading German news service, DPA -- one day after Dick Cheney paid a visit to the kingdom. As we noted, no one knows exactly what was said at that confab of allied authoritarians -- but something sure lit a fire under the Saudis, and convinced them that urgent action is needed to brace for the lethal overspill from a strike on Iran. Floyd points out that nothing in Saudi Arabia becomes the top news story without government approval. That such a story should be released the day after Cheney's visit, sends a message to everyone about what’s on Cheney's mind. This, combined with the dismissal of Centcom chief, Admiral Fallon, Petreus' claim to have evidence (which he doesn't produce) that Iran was responsible for the recent shelling of the Green Zone, . . and the Egyptian report that a nuclear sub has been ordered by Bush into the Gulf, the bleak picture in both Pakistan and Afghanistan (accelerating collapse of Musharraf's power and strategy, the coming spring offensive in the Taliban's announced drive for Kabu), . . plus the oft-stated desire of Bush and Cheney to attack Iran, and, as noted by former mideast policy official William K. Polk at Juan Cole's site just a few days ago, the last time Cheney visited the nations he visited this time was right before the Iraq attack, . . then only a moron would deny that Bush and Dick have nothing but contempt for the will of the people, congress and the courts, and that they crave war like a junkie craves his fix.

Cheney Visits them, and Saudis then Prepare for "Sudden Nuclear Hazards" - One Tick Closer to Midnight

Last Friday, Dick Cheney was in Saudi Arabia for high-level meetings with the Saudi king and his ministers. On Saturday, it was revealed that the Saudi Shura Council -- the elite group that implements the decisions of the autocratic inner circle -- is preparing "national plans to deal with any sudden nuclear and radioactive hazards that may affect the kingdom following experts' warnings of possible attacks on Iran's Bushehr nuclear reactors," one of the kingdom's leading newspapers, Okaz, reports. The German-based DPA news service relayed the paper's story.
Simple prudence -- or ominous timing? We noted here last week that an American attack on Iran was far more likely than most people suspect. We pointed to the mountain of evidence for this case gathered by scholar William R. Polk, one of the top aides to John Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and to other indicators of impending war. The story by Okaz -- which would not have appeared in the tightly controlled dictatorship without approval from the top -- is yet another, very weighty piece of evidence laid on the scales, pointing toward a new, horrendous conflict. We don't know what the Saudis told Cheney in private -- or even more to the point, what he told them. But the release of this story now, just after his departure, would seem to be a clear indication that the Saudis have good reason to fear a looming attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, and that they are actively preparing for it. We don't know what the Saudis told Cheney in private -- or even more to the point, what he told them. But the release of this story now, just after his departure, would seem to be a clear indication that the Saudis have good reason to fear a looming attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, and that they are actively preparing for it. And they certainly should be bracing themselves. A U.S. attack on Iran will come suddenly, and if it is indeed aimed at destroying Iran's nuclear capabilities -- a "threat" being talked up again with new urgency by both Cheney and Bush lately -- it has the potential for unimaginable consequences.

He and 15 comrades took off their uniforms, kept their government-issued rifles and went to the other side without a second thought.

SAUDI KING SAYS CHRISTIANS, JEWS, MUSLIMS SHOULD LIVE IN PEACE
By J. Grant Swank, Jr.MichNews.com -Mar 27, 2008

We don’t. - Allah is Lucifer, the Koran scribed by demons and mosque clerics agents of hell. Christ is the true Messiah, the Bible is divine revelation and biblical gospel-tellers are agents of heaven. Judaism does not recognize Christ as Messiah, holds to the Old Testament as divine revelation, and discounts Allah as co-deity.

Nevertheless, the king spoke at a seminar on “Culture and Respect of Religions.” There he set forth that better relations need to exist in his Muslim country because of the “weakening of the family, increasing atheism and a lack of ethics, loyalty and sincerity for our religions and humanity” per AP. Christianity is given the daily threat in Saudi Arabia. For a Muslim to testify to Christ as Savior equals death. So obviously the Islamic regime has set up Christianity as the archenemy. Time to be nice to Christians? Belatedly so. Weakening of the family? I did not know there was much of a Muslim regard for family, not with females regarded as less than dung and honor killing a daily slice-and-dice. As for atheism, I would think it would flourish as the most reasonable alternative to Islam. As for “ethics,” what does that mean to sharia and the Koran but bloodletting? Anyhow, at least the speech will make Islam appear the “peace religion” some think it is. Kudos to the king.
