Unidentified people have cut down part of a fence marking a demilitarized Iraq Kuwait border zone (DMZ), U.N. observers said on Friday, in a move analysts described as a preparation for possible hostilities with Iraq.

Holy cow! Ghurkas!

The Brits are holding nothing back.

I'd really hate to have those tough little guys with their big Ghurka knives coming after me.

I did not know the Gurkhas were in Kuwait! This is good news.

Those troops, American, British, Australian, have to know we are praying for them fervently, every day.

The most treacherous enemies of America during this war -- the French, the Germans and the Turks -- will regret their immorality and power greed, even as Saddam, if he lives, will regret his brutality toward his own people and Americans.
