The Kuwati incubator story makes me sick.

[acptulsa]

¶30. NOTE: ON THE BORDER QUESTION, SADDAM REFERRED
TO THE 1961 AGREEMENT AND A "LINE OF PATROL" IT
HAD ESTABLISHED. THE KUWAITIS, HE SAID, HAD TOLD
MUBARAK IRAQ WAS 20 KILOMETERS "IN FRONT" OF THIS
LINE. THE AMBASSADOR SAID THAT SHE HAD SERVED IN
KUWAIT 20 YEARS BEFORE; THEN, AS NOW, WE TOOK NO
POSITION ON THESE ARAB AFFAIRS.


They reported this at the time--briefly. Then it fell down the very same memory hole which contains Dubya's 2000 campaign speech in which he practically promised us a second war in Iraq.

Archivers, make your copies for posterity. They'll bury it again if they can.
