NATIONS -- U.N. peacekeepers recently spotted armed U.S. Marines cutting a fence between Kuwait and Iraq, an act which was reported to the Security Council on Thursday as a possible violation of international law.
U.N. spokesman Fred Eckhard said peacekeepers who monitor a demilitarized zone set up after the 1991 Persian Gulf War between Iraq and Kuwait reported "numerous violations," since March 4 "by personnel in civilian clothes in 4 x 4 vehicles, at least some of whom were armed and identified themselves as U.S. Marines."
U.S. diplomats had no immediate comment on the matter.

I just can't imagine why US military personnel would be dismantling this fence. I've thought and thought and thought and I simply haven't a clue as to why we would want to remove this fence. Any one have any ideas?Maybe a defence-ive operation?
