Breaches In Kuwaiti Fence to Bring 'Wrath of U.N.' on U.S. (2003-03-08) -- Reports of U.S. troop incursions into the United Nation's demilitarized border between Kuwait and Iraq could "bring down the full wrath of the Security Council" upon the the United States. CNN reports that, By U.N. mandate, no military activity other than a police presence by Iraq and Kuwait may take place in the DMZ. Technically, if U.S. troops go through breaches in the demilitarized zone fence to enter Iraq from the south, they would be in violation of Security Council rules, and that would be reported to the United Nations. U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld responded to the charges saying, "There are no holes in the DMZ fence. And if there were, I'm sure the U.N. could send a team of inspectors down there to find them. We certainly wouldn't want to run afoul of the U.N. We've seen the ugly price Saddam has paid for his defiance of the Security Council. Those resolutions really sting. "
