It seems that Iran may have other things to worry about besides Israel attacking them. I am waiting for more information as I missed most of the brief news piece. Kuwait is apparently sending a fleet of warships to the strait of hormuz in response to Irans repeated threats to close off the strait. This just weeks after Kuwait's foreign minister blasting Iran for the threats. He says Iran's renewed threats to close the strategic Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf amount to a "punishment" of its Arab neighbors.
Sheik Mohammed Al Sabah said in comments published Wednesday in Kuwait's Aljarida daily that the latest threats are "odd," because Arab Gulf states support a peaceful nuclear program in Iran.

This should be interesting. I lost all respect for Kuwait after 9-11. A poll there had 36% of Kuwaitis saying that American's deserved 9-11. One would have thought a country who we liberated and freed from Hussein would have a bit more sympathy.

Hello Xfahctor,
This is very troubling news. Geesh, I don't know how I missed all mention of this. Anyway, thank you! I really appreciate that you've posted this, X.
Criminies, it's as if the International Relations dam is springing leaks everywhere. If ever the Democrats needed a reason to immediately increase off and on-shore drilling ... and, if ever the GOP needed a reason to aggressively support a viable alternative to refined oil ... this international nightmare ought to serve the purpose, eh?
