US plans significant military presence in Kuwait

US plans significant military presence in Kuwait

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20120619/D9VG2L6G0.html

"WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States is planning a significant military presence of 13,500 troops in Kuwait to give it the flexibility to respond to sudden conflicts in the region as Iraq adjusts to the withdrawal of American combat forces and the world nervously eyes Iran, according to a congressional report.................."

I guess most would say this is no surprise.

Each day that I sit in that place, which maybe totals 30 over the last 10 years feels like a month.

I would have to equate it to sitting in a nursing home, just..........waiting to die............
