Kuwait rejects Saddam's invasion apology

KUWAIT (Reuters) - Kuwait rejected an apology by neighboring Iraq on Saturday for its 1990-1991 occupation of the Gulf Arab state and accused President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) of inciting terrorist attacks against U.S. troops in Kuwait.



"The speech contained incitement and encouragement of terrorist acts which the whole world has rejected and condemned," the information minister and official government spokesman, Sheikh Ahmad al-Fahd al-Sabah, told the Kuwait News Agency.


In an address to the Kuwaiti people, Saddam hailed Kuwaitis who recently carried out attacks against U.S. troops training in Kuwait. Saddam described the American presence in Kuwait as an occupation.


The speech, read out on Iraqi state television by Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, urged Kuwaitis to struggle against foreign armies -- an apparent reference to the U.S. military presence in Kuwait.

Struggle against?

Yeah...that's going to happen..lol. The Kuwaiti government wants us to expand that base and upgrade its capabilities.

BUT, a bit closer to home, the CA Supreme Court rejected the notion that the 2nd amendment guarantees ALL Americans the right to bear arms, and seeks to place strict regualtion and control upon the owners of such...interesting case. I expect it to go to the Supreme Court for interpretation eventually.

Hopefully he'll fall and die.

Now c'mon Ice! You know Mr. Heston is full of common sense and sound arguments. I don't that's any way to speak about someone who has the welfare of the nation so close to his heart. 😛
