Funny how the US Stenomedia isn't saying much of anything about this.


Kuwaiti security forces have detained up to eight Kuwaiti soldiers suspected of plotting to attack U.S. forces in the Gulf Arab state, a security source said Monday. The soldiers, some of whom are high-ranking officers, were detained a week ago.

4. I'm so skeptical of every story I hear nowdays.

If this IS true, what was the Kuwaiti's motivation?

If it isn't true, what is the motivation for making up this story? Need to attack Kuwait soon?

8. Was that before or after we gave weapons to Saddam?

Our alliances there are less stable than the desert sands.
