The hunt for Osama hasn't been as publicized as of late but that doesn't mean that we've given up on him.

 

i personally don't think Saddam was ever a threat to the USA either.... but he has (err..had).. lots of yummy oil that someone wanted.......

funny how there are probably many other dictators of countries who kill innocent citizens of their countries but we don't care about that.........no yummy oil......

There seems to be a lot of truth to that article to me.

 

Let's keep the political commentaries to a minimum here, folks...

 

When one of the most ruthless dictators gets captured after decades of keeping his people oppressed, i'm going out on a limb and saying this thread might get a little political

 

I bet you his look-alikes are glad they were'nt caught also....I guess there look is out of style now

 

saddam was a real threat to us kuwaities
we r all soo happy that this SOB is caught
he kept threating us that he will invade us like he did in 1990
for such a small country like kuwait...we have nothing to do , but wait and see what the big countries do
so if that artical was true....we kuwaities wouldnt care
you still caught our most hated man
by the way
u know what the first thing saddamn said to the local news?
he said: all of kuwait leaders r nothing but imposters and liers , and dont deserve to be arabs
why did he say that? cause we r the only arabic country that let the US military gladly into there land

 

Washington: US Secretary of State Colin Powell on Monday thanked Kuwait for its "absolutely superb" support in the war against Iraq, saying the conflict could not have been won without it.

Powell told reporters he had given the message to Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Mohammed al-Sabah on behalf of President George W. Bush, his administration and military planners.

"Kuwait understood the threat and was willing to step forward," he said. "We're deeply appreciative of all they have done." "Without that support, I'm not sure the operation could have been conducted," Powell said as the foreign minister stood beside him outside the State Department.

Kuwait served as the main launch pad for the US-led invasion of Iraq, hosting more than 170,000 US and British troops. Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990 sparking the first Gulf War and al Sabah said his country was pleased to see that Saddam Hussein had been toppled.

"I expressed today Kuwait's appreciation for the work that the United States is doing in liberating the Iraqi people from their ordeal," he said. The minister added that Kuwait still urgently wanted to find nearly 600 of its countrymen it believes have been held captive since 1991 and called for "more intense cooperation" to locate them.

"One out of every thousand Kuwaiti is still unaccounted for in Iraq and this something that the secretary has indicated the United States is most concerned about," he said


Security is a very important issue to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, Saudi Arabia accepted the fleeing Kuwaiti royal family and some 400,000 refugees escaping Saddam Hussein's armies. The next year, the Saudis allowed coalition forces, to include more than 500,000 U.S. troops, to assemble on their soil. The U.S. and coalition forces launched a counter attack, known as Operation Desert Storm, that pushed the Iraqis out of Kuwait

"The United States is committed to protecting its friends while working with our partners for a peaceful, prosperous and stable region," said Cohen at a Nov. 19 press conference at Kuwait City International Airport. Security relations between Kuwait and the United States "have never been stronger," he added.

U.S. officials said Kuwait plans to upgrade its defense capability by purchasing 16 Apache Longbow helicopters for $640 million. Kuwait is also seeking to buy a commercially procured intelligence, command and control system for $1.2 billion, said U.S. officials. Kuwait also plans to purchase four C-130 cargo aircraft and two KC-130 aerial refueling tankers for $400 million, officials noted.
