Just How Serious Is The US About Controlling Nuclear Power In The Middle East?

If knowing that the US opposes nuclear power for Iran makes you think that the US is a solid friend of Israel, think again:

Last month, while the American people were becoming the personal ATMs of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was in Saudi Arabia signing away an even more valuable gift: nuclear technology. In a ceremony little-noticed in this country, Ms. Rice volunteered the U.S. to assist Saudi Arabia in developing nuclear reactors, training nuclear engineers, and constructing nuclear infrastructure. While oil breaks records at $130 per barrel or more, the American consumer is footing the bill for Saudi Arabia's nuclear ambitions.

Somehow, I expected Condoleeza Rice to be behind this--didn't you?
