Prince Khaled bin Sultan is a nephew of King Fahd's, a son of the current Defense Minister and brother of the kingdom's present ambassador to Washington. Moreover, Khaled was the senior commander of Arab forces during the 1991 Gulf War. It was during this conflict that the kingdom opened its borders to soldiers of the U.S.-led coalition...
