The Spin:
FM Qureshi, Saudi FM discuss bilateral ties

The Reality:
Saudis (too) squeezing b@lls for Pakistan not to get gas from Iran and stay dependent on them and their American masters

Possible because GCC is not happy of any development in the field of fossil fuels if it takes place in non Arab countries right across the Gulf.
After all they remain still sold out to the west because of long term agreements tied to oil exploration that was never free.
This ear tweaking will be of no use because Pakistan of today in not the same as it was during General Zia era when America lured Pakistan using Saudi as a middle man and a promised extended rule as bait.

I think you did not read the story linked to. Here is the link again:

(Though I do agree Pakistan is not the same as it was during Zia time -- it is much worse in that regard. :-P These are drop-pants-at-one-phone-call guys!!!)

Thank God Pakistan is not the same as it was during Zia, but still not much better. During Zia, pants were being dropped for mullahs and arabs along with americans.

If Pakistan continues to beg for American handouts because of a zero economy, it will have to agree to their wishes.
