| Iraqi buildup near border puts Kuwait on heightened alert |
| 2002-07-29 |
| From World Tribune.com, not the best of all possible sources, and the link's going to die soon... Kuwait has drafted an emergency plan in coordination with the United States as officials reported an Iraqi buildup near the Kuwaiti border. On Monday, the Kuwaiti Al Rai Al Aam daily reported that authorities have cancelled all vacations for civil defense employees until further notice. The newspaper said the move is part of heightened preparations for an Iraqi attack. Yup. That's what they said they were gonna do... The Kuwaiti Cabinet was presented with what was described as an emergency plan to counter an Iraqi military strike on the sheikdom over the next year. Thinking of doing that again, are they? And after they said they were never gonna do it again. Tusk tusk. Wonder if Sammy still has the same bunch of "young revolutionaries" hanging around on pension? Kuwaiti officials said the plan warns that the sheikdom can expect to be the first target of an Iraqi attack either prior to or during any U.S. military campaign to topple the regime of President Saddam Hussein. The Kuwaiti plan cited the Iraqi military buildup near the Kuwaiti border, Middle East Newsline reported. Sounds like a gen-u-wine Iraqi war plan to me. Sammy coldly miscalculates his every move, and something like this would be a classic. In the event of invasion, they'll be too busy fighting off Merkins to be invading someplace else, but this probably looks pretty good on paper... |
