US Marines cut border fence between Iraq and Kuwait

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Friday March 07, 2003 13:26author by silo Report this post to the editors

Reports that US marines have cut large gaps in the electrified fence between Iraq and Kuwait are being marginalised in the mainstream media.

According to reports in the mainstream media, US marines have cut between three and seven large gaps in the electrified fence on the border between Iraq and Kuwait.

The news was first published on the BBC website at 4.30 this morning (Fri 07.03.03.) [[ link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2828031.stm ]].

The story is being linked from the BBC's main page.

Sky News is also carrying the story [[ link: http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,15410-12263552,00.html ]]. However, there is no direct link to the story given from the main or interior news pages.

The New York Times, Washington Post and Boston Globe online editions carry no mention of the incidents.

http://www.nytimes.com
http://www.washingtonpost.com
http://www.boston.com/globe

The incident is of questionable legality at a time when the Bush Administration is still insisting that Saddam Hussein can avoid a war.

I guess if the Marines are willing to pull down a fence to start a war we should be willing to pull down a fence to stop it. Anyone know if the PD's, Green's, Fine Gael, Finna Fail, Sinn Fein, SP, PANA, etc have condemned the threats to that fence? Are the Gardai being deployed in their hundreds to protect it?

Fences of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your chain (links).

"Our" government ought to have an explicit policy agsinst this war, if you take it from the point ov view of following the constitution in letter and spirit, or if it followed the democratic will of the people. And yet the overwhelming condemnations are reserved for a couple of hundred activists for attempting the simbolic breach of a fence in an attempt to stop a war, while an illegal act of international aggression by an armed group is met with silence. go figure..

I don't see the Marines being arrested for taking down the border fence.
Where are the riot police when you need them?

and all responsible politicians should distance themselves from this virtual fence destruction as it will fail to win the working people over to mass-based direct action in support of murdering Iraqis for freedom.

Is the Green Party going to distance itself from it? What about Labour? Or the Socialist Party? And where does Sinn Fein stand on the issue?

This shows them all up for the hypocrites they are.

All the main political parties are sitting on the fence. Probably why they have no balls.

Saddam should have come to Shannon to see the way Pat Burn(s from the leather straps) and Michael McDrool (coz it hurts so good) and their legion of armed and riot police defended the fence.

Were the US special forces trained by GNAW ? Rumours of three GNAW members arrested with traces of cut wire on their baggage and false documents in Kuwait may be totally unrelated .
