I guess $180 million dollars will pay for a lot of “employee salaries.” ;-) Well, it looks like at least one foreign aid investment, Gulf War I, is starting to pay off a little.

Hey Kuwait, I'm a Lippian Repel, send me a few bucks, I mean I've sent you so many for the oil, and my tax dollars paid for saving your country from Huinsane, surely twenty or thirty grand wouldn't pinch your budget!!

We got paid for GW1 and got free fuel during GW2 from Kuwait.

Kuwait’s parliament has about as much power in Kuwait as Ghadaffi’s has in Libya, even though it looks greater on paper. Kuwait has plenty of oil of its own, and is not planning further democratic reforms itself.
So, who has bribed Kuwait and why; and if that’s not the case who does Kuwait think they are truly opposing (some state that is supporting Ghadaffi) or who is the party or parties backing the “rebels” that Kuwait seeks to support.
I cannot believe that there is anything altruistic going on here; as much as I can’t stand Ghadaffi in the first place.

The US will see not one dime from it. I'll reserve judgement on where the monies will really end up.

I was not thinking that any of it will go to the US, merely that if we continue to support this effort, we might spend a little less.

What a joke. Are these dirt bags saying they are paying million dollar an hour salaries. LOL
To: Wuli
The last thing that Kuwait wants is to have the “Arab spring” spread there.
My guess is that this is a bribe to the Muslim mobsters, who have agreed to leave Kuwait alone in return for a substantial payoff.

Unless I’m mistaken (and I could be), that looked like a M40 106mm recoilless rifle.
ie, not eastern bloc hardware...

The alliances currently forming are quite interesting — BRICS (other than Brazil) have Islam as their common source of concern (South Africa has fewer than 2% Muzzies in its population, and has seen what Islam has done and continues to do to Africa); Iran and its proxies, plus a sidelined/neutralized Turkey; and the Sunni/Wahhab/Arab allies; NATO and the US. Thanks gleeaikin.
