How many accidents have there been lately? We bombed that medicine factory, bombed the Chinese embassy, ran into a sky lift, destroyed a fishing boat... now this?

Four the five dead were American. At least two of those were military personnel. The fifth was a member of the New Zealand military. At least we didn't kill any Kuwaiti civilians. http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/03/12/military.kuwait.02/index.html
From the article it sounds like the accident occured on a bombing range in Kuwait. No accident is good -- but an missing a target on a bombing range is a lot different than accidentaly dropping it in a civillian area. ------------------ Stay Cool...
Now all we have to do is wait and see what the Iraqi newspaper and Saddam has to say. It should go something like this: "The Zionist factions were attempting to bomb Southern Iraq civilian populations at night under the cowardly protection of darkness. Alas, the anti-christ bombs missed their intended targets and were redirected by our holy prayers at the Kuwaiti population. Masses of Zionist Kuwaitis are now dead and in hospitals with many more injured and suffering...all from the evil stranglehold imposed by the deadly zionist western pig war machine." Thank you for the kind words, Iraqi govt and newspaper. Please...save your breath. It was an accident. You did not win anything nor will you. I just thought I would save them the trouble.
