to

message Reagan had me programmed with earlier that day was further evidence
of this. I delivered Reagan's message to King Fahd as ordered:
"Greetings to King Fahd from President Reagan. The negotiations you are
about to embark on are not only critical to the world peace process, but may
solidify U.S.-Saudi relations beyond your wildest expectations. You have my
word that what appears to be the building up of forces in Iraq is but a mirage in
the whirlwind. And when this operation is completed and the dust finally
settles, you will see that the sands have shifted in time, running out on our
adversaries and shifting all power and control to our unified effort. United we
stand to conquer all in the name of world peace and world order, and I am
confident that together we can not fail. The more Saddam destroys is that much
less for us to do and deal with when we implement the Order. In the meantime,
we all have much to gain and not a moment to lose."
It was raining by the time I was escorted back to Bush's residence where
Houston was waiting to take Kelly and me back to Tennessee.

that, for once, Bush may have told the truth.
