U.S. massing its troops near Iraq 20,000-plus soldiers moved to Kuwait, Qatar as debate brews over war's next stage Michael Higgins National Post, with files from news services More than 20,000 American troops have been moved into Qatar and Kuwait in a possible sign the United States is shifting its focus on terrorism to Iraq. Also yesterday, the Czech parliament approved a plan to send up to 400 anti-chemical warfare and medical troops to help the United States. It is believed some of the troops could be sent to Kuwait. Analysts say stationing troops in Kuwait, where similar Czech units fought during the Gulf War, is a signal the campaign is shifting from Afghanistan and might be broadened to include Iraq and its leader Saddam Hussein. The United States moved the headquarters of its 3rd Army to Qatar two weeks ago and defence analysts have reported large numbers of troops being moved into the region since. nationalpost.com
