U.S. Embassy warns Americans in Kuwait

Associated Press


KUWAIT CITY - The U.S. Embassy has warned American citizens in Kuwait of possible terrorist attacks, asking them to stay alert and to report suspicious activity to the diplomatic mission or Kuwaiti police.

"Terrorist actions may include bombings, hijackings, hostage taking, kidnappings and assassinations," said a public announcement posted Saturday on the embassy's Web site.

Any Americans, either civilian or members of the U.S. military, were possible targets, it said.

Some 13,000 Americans live in Kuwait, a major ally of Washington since a U.S.-led coalition fought the 1991 Gulf War that liberated it from a seven-month Iraqi occupation under former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

1. W has destabilized the entire ME
which is the reason his father chose not to go into Baghdad and we're running out of troops. Look for a peace with honor slogan soon as we retreat and leave the ME worse off than when we got there.

Our military is in shambles as is Iraq. See www.icasualties.org

2. Why Kuwait? Why now?
I haven't read anything in particular that would make Kuwait a magnet for terrorism......more than usual, that is.

Kuwait is a U.S. "ally" which makes them a Puppet. We'll see.

Ask your doctor if U.S. foreign policy is right for you! ;-)
