KUWAIT CITY : Islamist writer Mohammed Al-Awadi has launched a scathing attack against the American Ambassador to Kuwait, saying he has been manipulating the Kuwaiti public opinion and intervening in the country's internal affairs. "The Ambassador is meddling in our affairs and jockeying the public opinion through his frequent visits to some newly-elected MPs under the pretext of congratulating them for the new parliamentary post," Al-Awadi told the Arab Times.
| Oh, horrors! Visiting them! |
"What the American Ambassador is doing does not whatsoever relate to an ambassador's designated activities. He is exceeding the limitations of his duties," said Al-Awadi. He added with this kind of attitude, the Ambassador is subjecting himself to danger "which cannot be shouldered by Kuwait in the current circumstances and harms its interests."
| That means somebody's gonna take a pot shot at him. Not Al-Awadi, of course — he'd never do anything like that. Nope. Nope. Why, he wouldn't even know whoever'd do it... |
Al-Awadi said some MPs are annoyed by the Ambassador's visit to them at their electoral headquarters. "They (the MPs) were forced to compliment the Ambassador with a smile in a gesture of courtesy," he added. Al-Awadi claimed the Ambassador, through his visits to some MPs, seeks to waver the trust of citizens in Islamist MPs.
| "Hey! I thought you guys were against infidels and stuff! What're you doin' yukkin' it up with the Merkin ambassador? Damn. I'm gonna vote Republican next time..." |
"Some other ambassadors were uncomfortable by their American counterpart as the only player in the arena. So they seized this opportunity to also imitate him," said Al-Awadi. He added although all Kuwaitis consider the United States unfair they believe they currently need the US "but they can never be slaves to the US."
| "Yeah. Them suckers gave us back our country after Sammy stole it from us, but that's all we're lettin' them do. |
