<<It was a missile which flew from northern eastern Iraq into Kuwait, passed over Kuwait City and landed in the harbor....I did not save a URL...it was reported at the time....>> Well i'd love to read about it, but i can't find a thing on it. Perhaps it's one of those many war reports that turned out to be wrong? It amazes me how easily you cite hearsay as fact when it suits your bias, but then are so quick to accuse others of slander when they do the same. Steve

I'm not sure, but I believe that was an errant cruse missile we fired off. Rat

It was a missile which flew from northern eastern Iraq into Kuwait, passed over Kuwait City and landed in the harbor....I did not save a URL...it was reported at the time.... Pretty reasonable not to save that particular URL...and I'll support your claim that such a story was reported....though not the part that includes the north east part of Iraq....Since the Kurds controlled northern Iraq...there's a question in my mind that it would have originated in north east Iraq... I should ask a question...do you still assert the missile originated in north east Iraq? jttmab

Support for Bush Declines As Casualties Mount in Iraq By Richard Morin and Claudia Deane Washington Post Staff Writers Saturday, July 12, 2003; Page A01 Public support for President Bush has dropped sharply amid growing concerns about U.S. military casualties and doubts whether the war with Iraq was worth fighting, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. Bush's overall job approval rating dropped to 59 percent, down nine points in the past 18 days. That decline exactly mirrored the slide in public support for Bush's handling of the situation in Iraq, which now stands at 58 percent..... Fifty percent said Bush intentionally exaggerated evidence suggesting Iraq had such weapons, while nearly as many -- 46 percent -- disagreed..... washingtonpost.com ------------------------------------- Intentionally exaggerated is just a nice euphemism for Lying to the American people. 50% now believe that Bush lied to the American people. jttmab

optimalprime.org March 30, 2003 Stray US Cruise Missile Hits Kuwait City It was at first thought that the missile had apparently come from Iraq, but a published report now says officials are also looking into the possibility that it could have been a U.S. missile gone astray. The New York Times quotes unidentified Kuwaiti officials as saying that both the behavior of the missile and its markings lead them to believe it was an American missile that somehow went off course. "It was an American cruise missile, we know from the markings and writing on it," an unidentified Kuwaiti police colonel told the Times. "It doesn't go up, it comes in low from the sea, and that's why there was no alert." Read More Posted by BA at March 30, 2003 08:45 PM
