Panic in Kuwait with Iraq — U.S. security agreement

Posted on September 7, 2008 by Sappho

Kuwaiti MP Nasser Al-Duwaila said that Iraq– U.S. does not con­tain an arti­cle con­firms that the U.S. will defend Kuwait.

The MP asks the Kuwaiti Prime Min­is­ter Sheikh Nasser Al-Mohammad to raise this issue in his com­ing visit to the U.S. and rejects the Amer­i­can plan to arm the Iraqi army with sophis­ti­cated weapons which change the mil­i­tary power bal­ance in the region.

He added that Kuwait and Saudi Ara­bia must main­tain their mil­i­tary supe­ri­or­ity and that the cur­rent Amer­i­can plans of mil­i­ta­riza­tion of Iraq is threat­en­ing the regional secu­rity and put a ques­tion mark about Amer­i­can pol­icy in the region.

    The United States of Amer­ica must guar­an­tee the secu­rity and safety of not only Kuwait but all coun­tries in the Gulf region. The Islamic Repub­lic of Iran is a great threat to the region and if the Shia regimes of Iran and Iraq are united, as they are now, when the US leaves the region, they will pose great threat to the smaller coun­tries of the Gulf. The expan­sion of Iran­ian Empire through its Shia allies must not be underestimated.

    The mil­i­tant Shias of Iran have proved to be very aggres­sive. Iran has an impe­ri­al­is­tic back­ground. When Iran­ian nation­al­ism, impe­ri­al­ism and Shia mil­i­tancy are mixed, Iran will be as dan­ger­ous as Ger­many under Hitler. If Kuwaitis want to have per­ma­nent secu­rity, they must help the Iran­ian peo­ple to change this regime. The threat that has been loom­ing over the Gulf coun­tries for three decades will not end until Iran­ian regime is finished.

    As we wit­nessed in Iraq, the Shias cleansed Bagh­daa from Sun­nis and turned it into a Shia city. 75% of the pop­u­la­tion of Bagh­dad has been Sunni in all its his­tory. Now 75 per­cent of its pop­u­la­tion is Shia. This eth­nic cleans­ing has been going on under US occu­pa­tion. If US didn’t want it, she could have stopped it. The union of the two Shia coun­tries of Iran and Iraq is inevitable. They are the largest and most pow­er­ful coun­tries in the Mid­dle East. They have a his­tor­i­cal hatred against the Sun­nis. Once they con­sol­i­date their pow­ers, nobody can stop them from dis­in­te­grat­ing other smaller coun­tries of the Mid­dle East. It seems that the Amer­i­cans and Ira­ni­ans are united in empow­er­ing the Shias into the most pow­er­ful force that can dom­i­nate the Gulf.
