KUWAIT (Reuters) - Ten soldiers have been wounded in an attack on Camp Pennsylvania, a military base in northern Kuwait, the U.S. military said on Sunday.
A U.S. military spokesman gave no further details. But Jim Lacey, a correspondent for Time magazine who was at the camp, told CNN two grenades had been rolled into the command tent in the camp, in what appeared to be a "terrorist attack."

I am relived by your theory, 'cept for the implication of perimeter guard(s) "nodding".
To: Dahlseide
I would hope so.......I think.
That guy I heard on the radio was way ahead of the curve. It was his first thought that it was possible.

Per FOX (via Sky News) just before the top of the hour...
Arab translators have been accounted for. Authorities have "some questions" for the lone missing solider.
This is sounding worse with every report. The possibility that's being suggested is turning my stomach.

MSNBC now reporting a missing soldier, too. They are making it appear to be a fragging incident. ... "might be a possible suspect..."

if it turns out to be an American soldier, as it seems may be the case. Golly! Must be a nutter, if that is true. A lot of nutters try to get into the military, and not all can be weeded out.
On the other hand, he might be victim of these infiltrators. They might have killed him in order to make the attack.
To: StriperSniper
Admittedly arguing from my safe vantage point, I'd rather be on the front line facing a hostile division that in anyway tied to the "infiltration"

Early reports said that one was wearing fatigues and the other was wearing a helmet. Possibly from missing person?

Why would anyone call this a terror attack? If done by the other side while we might not like it the act was a legit action in war. If done by one of the US or British military it was treason. The soldiers in the command tent were lawful combatants and whether we like it or not they are legit targets.
I'm praying for the wounded and the families of those killed.

When they find that guy he is going to get it worse than any Iraqi enemy.
To: StriperSniper
The ABC correspondent said that was unlikely today, and the guest said more like 50/50. I was a bit outraged at that outlook, but now an hearing from Shep on FOX that the two suspected translators have been accounted for and a soldier is missing.I heard that and was a bit outraged, too -- especially because he added something snotty like "well, some officers in the 101st are known for not exactly being all that they can be". It was an irresponsible comment and I dismissed it as pure bunk, but this an interesting development.

Still going on at all bases overseas. Civilians from the country doing most of the work on the bases.

As we know, muslims come in all colors...There is no such thing as muslim allies...In my opinion, we are their useful idiots...And in some cases, they are our's...Unfortunately, our military and gov't hasn't figured this out yet...

I heard that guy on WABC radio too. I believe his name was Wirth or Wird........and thought his comments outrageous. He slandered the officers of the 101st. Airborne by saying they are known NOT to be all they could be.
The two lamebrain hosts took umbrage at his comments.

Only if in uniform - else even George Washington would have him/her/them hung. FOX is reporting 13 up from 10. God bless & protect our troops. Let allah protect theirs.
