Great news!America doesn't forget her friends. Nor do we forget our sworn enemies.

The thing that bothers me is that I could post a thread saying that Kuwait is a piece of camel dung that we should nuke, and it would get 100 responses in agreementUntil the Kuwaiti Shiek/Prince/King/whatever made that official statement of support for us , I would have been one of the 100. Now I think Kuwait would not only be a good base for an attack against Iraq, it is also in a great geographical position for an attack against Saudi Arabia. And I don't care what statements the Saudis make from now on out, I want piece of their camel back located rear ends too.

This is huge ... a green light for other moderate Arab states in the region to back the U.S.

Oh, thank you for the ping! I might have missed this!
This is a HUGE story, and will probably not make it into the American media until Fox picks up on it and covers it for about a week.
And it will never get covered in the New York Times.

well Kuwait better support us...I mean we saved their asses. What choice do they haveI might point out that we saved the asses of the French, and they do not support us.

Do I sense a crack in the "sand coalition"? I don't think the "sand coalition" (nice phrase, BTW) has ever put anything ahead of self-interest.

However, the War Against Iraq won't begin until December of this year.My bet is on October.

This IS interesting. I was really weirded out when they said previously that they couldn't support it: when even KUWAIT doesn't want him gone, how much of a threat to the region is he?
But here they've said "m'okay."
I have the suspicion we'll see more folks either agree to it, or shut up about it, in the next few weeks. That doesn't mean they'll help, of course - just register no real objection.
The wheel might be turning...

"Kuwait is probably the least wretched country in the Middle East."
Spoken like a man who's never been to the UAE.
Drop by Dubai, sometime. It's a real eye-opener.

I think they'll want to end up on the winning side, and the more we act determined, the more friends we'll suddenly have. Excellent point. They seem to only understand power.

When I look at a map such as yours, it really boggles my mind that little ol' Israel can keep all of it enemies at bay!

I'd pay good money to see what went on behind closed doors for this to happen.There are going to be some REALLY interesting books to read in about 25 years.

This is huge ... a green light for other moderate Arab states in the region to back the U.S. What's funny is this has NO coverage on the Dallas Morning News as of this
morning. (Of course, I'm not laffing). Or, they've buried it somewhere.
To: MeeknMing
Not being posted on any of the wires, AP, UPI, Reuters, AFP, either.

....I expect the same response from all Gulf states...
Pay attention all you Saudi bashers....
