“THREE KINGS” (DVD video)
“...one of the most seriously funny war movies ever made...a quartet of U.S. soldiers who, disillusioned by Operation Desert Storm, decide to steal $23 million in gold hijacked from Kuwait by Saddam Hussein's army...conveys the brutal madness of war while making you laugh out loud at the insanity.” -- Jeff Shannon
“Roosevelt received him [British ambassador Lord Halifax] that very evening at the White House. Their discussion focused on the Middle East. Trying to allay Halifax’s apprehension and irritation, Roosevelt showed the ambassador a rough sketch he had made of the Middle East. ‘Persian oil,’ he told the ambassador, ‘is yours. We share the oil of Iraq and Kuwait. As for Saudi Arabian oil, it is ours.’”
— THE PRIZE: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power, by Daniel Yergin (Simon and Schuster, 1991) |
