Mark: Sir, it's being reported that at the bidding of CIA cheif Bill Casey, you flew to the mid-east in 1986 on a secret mission... George Bush: No secret about it. Just wanted to help out with the peace thing. Mark: Not according to an internal memo, which describes the scheme to get the arms-for-hostages negotiations back on track...reportedly, you asked Hussein and Mubarak to urge Saddam to bomb deep in Iran. This Saddam did, within 48 hours. Not long after, Iran came to us for air defense weapons. Bush: You mean, it...it worked? Not that it ever happened. Mark: You're kidding. No one even congratulated you?
