This little nugget from a review of two books on biographies of King Hussein of Jordan in the Wall Street Journal.
The whole review is worth reading; a interesting reminder of the tight rope Hussein and Jordan walked and Jordan must continue to walk.
Here's the nugget:
(King Hussein) also passed to Saddam a message from Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak: "We have been gassed once and we are not going to be gassed again. If unconventional weapons are used on us, look at your watch and 40 minutes later an Iraqi city will be reduced to ashes."
