Where at patmorin47? Dhahran, Khamis Mushayt, Taif?

expat2, I was at dhahran, 92,93, trained saudies on F15s, avionics. my email is patmorin47@hotmail.com have you read sandra mackeys book THE SAUDIS.?

No - I am about to read Robert Baer's "Sleeping With The Devil" I was at Dhahran 96-98 and then I really spent some time in "hell" for 3 more years - at RSAF HQ in Riyadh. At Least the Jadawel compounds (by-the-sea in Dhahran, and the "bombed" one in Riyadh were nice digs). I learned not to "hate" the Sauds - they are only products of their society. What I learned to dislike even more was how American corporate managers could easily be corrupted by the business environment of prevalent in Saudi. I have learned that the fingers of the Carlyle Group run deep in both Saudi Royal circles and our own government. I learned that corporate America was watching how Saudi government contracts were used to milk their nation's oil revenues. I strongly suggest that the very same corporations who were "in-bed" with these Saudi contracts are applying those very same principles to gaining contracts out of our own government to bilk the American taxpayer.
