Deterrence of Irregular Threats

[davidbfpo]

Hat tip to Surferbeetle (on another thread) and amidst the podcast lectures at LSE, London, is a 50 minute talk on the 7th May 2009:

The Saudi-U.S. Relationship; Past Developments and Future Prospects
Speaker: Prince Turki Al-Faisal (ex-intelligence chief, ambassador etc)

The Saudi-U.S relationship has always faced challenges that constantly test its strength. However, recent events in the region, such as the Iraq war, the 2006 war in Lebanon and the war in Gaza, have strained this relationship further. Prince Turki Al-Faisal, with his long and extensive experience in this area, gives his personal insight into this important relationship, its historical development and future challenges and prospects.

I've not listened yet, but given the Saudi theme in this thread maybe of value. The link goes to all the lectures, so scroll down to the 7th May: http://www.lse.ac.uk/resources/podca...sAndEvents.htm
