half way through, its a great read, especially for students of history and the region. some quick tidbits from what ive read:
- hated the Bushes, thought Reagan was an honourable man
- when shown pictures of the chemical attacks on Kurdistan, his response "necessary"
- this man truly hated the Persians
Not as much as the Saudis though. And the Saudis HATED Saddam.
I'm convinced the war in Iraq, much like the Gulf War, was at the Sauds request. The one in Iran will be too and the wikileaks cables confirmed it.
Great thread.
