KUWAIT CITY (AP)

[ex-Texan]

Just seems to me that having a vehicle with *bullet-proof-glass* is fundamental for any Americans who are planning to work in that hostile section of the universe. Sort of like the first 'stop off' by the 'Good Guys' in the epic film Star Wars ... everybody is armed and dangerous and really, really wants to kill you.

I did a search and could not find this article posted. Heard it on the news this morning.

Where are the human shields? Headed to Iraq.

Let's call them what they are, Linda...: Enemy combatants.

Filthy cowardly Jihadi scum. I curse them! May Michael Rene Pouliot rest in peace.

[Mr_Magoo]

I am sorry Linda, I can't say what I really feel about this. Jim would ban me.

But I am thinking it real loud!

If I contribute again, can you delete the picture?

Kuwait, critical to any U.S. war against neighboring Iraq, generally welcomes Americans out of lingering gratitude for the U.S.-led coalition that expelled Iraqi invaders in the 1991 Gulf War
Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Kuwait already sign on with us? If so, I can't stand the obvious bias in this article!

Hey Magoo!

I am so glad that you are OK now.

I have not seen you in a while.

If you ever need anything out here just call out my name.

Let me get it!

I don't think Kuwaiti forces will invade, but we can use Kuwait as a staging area.

[Mr_Magoo]

Getting stronger.

Those $@%^@$%&&% physical therapists won't let me sit and play poker in the back of the room.

Take care

The American who died had a French name "Michael Rene Pouliot". Was he a naturalized citizen originally from France?

"The president's heart goes out to the families affected by this attack," White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said. "It's a reminder of the dangers and risks servicemen and women face every day in service to our country."

Yes, hearts and prayers go out to those who lost these loved one.

A reminder also goes out to the President about the dangers and risks Americans face every day from "The Religion of Peace!"
