My reading came up with a meeting between Bush Sr and Thatcher in 1989 or 1990 (forget) to agree to how to attack Iraq. Before Kuwait was invaded. Before Saddam Hussein went on to TV to tell the British, na-na-na-na, I got the krytons anyway. Bush, Reagan, Thatcher and I think Queen Elizabeth were all party to the pre-planning for 1991.
btw Peter, there's some marginal talk of British rule in Iraq in Lady Ethel Stefania Drower's The Mandaeans of Iraq and Iran: their cults, customs, magic, legends, and folklore (1937):
