I'm referring to the people in other countries who seem to blame us for everything that goes wrong in the region. But yeah, Kuwait generally likes us.Beduin wrote:

Right.. when you exclude other comments, common sense, and selectively pick the quotes that best make your case.Dilbert_X wrote:

How much did she think they WOULD take?
Shows she suspected invasion was possible, hence "we have no opinion.." was a staggeringly dumb thing to say.
the U.S. did not intend "to start an economic war against Iraq"
= Go ahead, do what you want, we won't do anything, the Kuwaitis HAVE started an economic war so you can do what you want with them
I think the problem was sending a naive dimwit to deal with Saddam.
Those "stupid arab countries" need us there as well. Don't kid yourself. Selling out is what they do best.Beduin wrote:
