US Cruise missile hits Kuwait City national |

news report
 Saturday March 29, 2003 08:51 by James McKenna
 Early Saturday morning a cruise missile hit a shopping mall in Kuwait City. It was said at first that the missile had come from Iraq, but The New York Times quotes Kuwaiti officials as saying it was an American cruise 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." ***************** In an article in Businessweek entitled "Critical Supplies...Are Unaccounted For" http://businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/mar2003/nf20030328_4776_db071.htm Frederik Balfour gives a good insight into the difficulties facing the US troops as they have been halted by Iraqi guerilla resistance, weather, lack of vital supplies and bad military planning. And speaking of bad military planning. Richard Pearle, the head of military planning for the invasion has just resigned because of an impending scandal about his business friends and how he used his office to assist them and himself. That's what you get for calling the UN an irrelevant babbler on the mouth of the Hudson , Richard. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2it very all over hte place last night with the reporters giving various but at this time ( readin 4 different news sites to check) it seems it wa san iraqi missile
I know.
RTE even had it on the News this evening that it was Iraqi: and they know that is a lie.
It was a cruise fired from the gulf over Kuwait that went astray. They have had to stop firing over Turkey because their millisles kept going astray.
I am not surprised at the US for lying but RTE should know better. Any of the military analysists could tell them it was a cruise.
