In the art of smoke and mirrors and all things magic, deception, distraction and diversion are key. With the world in a state of hyper caffeine rush the most elusive items thus far are the famed "weapons of mass destruction" that were the basis for war on the rubble infested and decaying state of Iraq.
Wary of an ever twitchy trigger happy US President, the offices of the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in the United States flushed out a press release. News of acquiring nuclear weapons have been shot down as "totally false" and "baseless" and "motivated by malice." The release also goes on to further push away the axis from Iraq to North Korea and state that Saudi Arabia has "long advocated a Middle East that is free of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons" and that they currently have no plans to renege on such.
Like sands through the windows of the people of bombed out Iraq and Afghanistan, the prospect of finding such weapons are getting tighter and harder for a government looking to justify generating an unworthy spate of insidious slogans and media conferences and inquiries.
With Saudi Arabia a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and other UN related conventions on weapons of mass destruction and non-proliferation, some are hoping that these pieces of thinly worded media grabble are the hands that move about as the other pulls the rabbit out of the pants.
