If you are gona hit civilians, why cry for your own? This is for the Iraqis … Given that those traitors in Kuwait deserve bad, but civilians are civilians … If you are gona hit them, then don’t come back and cry for your similar losses…
war is disgusting … such loss of life and dignity for the humans …
Well, the scuds are not your state-of-the-art precision missiles. Maybe they were trying to target the military establishments ;).
Im more surprised by this scud not been taken out by them 2nd generation patriot missiles and also there was apparently no advance siren warning.

In the state of war you hardly get time to cry.

It was not a Scud, it was China-made low-flying Silkworm missile.

No wonder it slipped past the radars and early-warning air defence shields. Some reporter suggested that it may have been fired from the Al Faw peninsula which is supposeldy under coalition control now.
It was an American missile that hit mall in Kuwait butdon’t expect the yanks to admit…

Explosion, Said to Be From Missile, Rocks Empty Mall in Kuwait
By CRAIG S. SMITH
UWAIT, Saturday, March 29 — An explosion rocked an empty shopping mall on the waterfront early today in Kuwait City, the capital, sending a huge plume of white smoke towering into the sky. Kuwaiti officials said a missile that had landed in the water nearby was responsible.
Witnesses who gathered shortly after the explosion at 1:45 a.m. local time could see a twisted piece of metal on the esplanade near the shoreline about the size of a wastebasket and bearing the number “5420” in red. The words “place” and “protractor” could also be made out on a shard. Emergency workers put fragments into bags that they took away for analysis.
Despite indications that a missile had struck near the rear entrance to the Sharq mall, by the Sharqiah cinema, witnesses said they did not hear air-raid sirens that would indicate an incoming missile.
Some Kuwaiti officials who examined the fragments said they believed an errant American cruise missile had been fired from the Persian Gulf toward Iraq.
“It was an American cruise missile, we know from the markings and writing on it,” said a Kuwaiti police colonel who did not give his name. “It doesn’t go up, it comes in low from the sea, and that’s why there was no alert.”
Another uniformed Kuwaiti official said that he, too, believed the missile to have been American and said that it “came from the sea.” He then added that “it was a mistake” that it had struck Kuwait.

That would be more applicable to the American people and their govt than for the iraqi people.
"While police and civil defence workers struggled to seal off the area, at least one souvenir-hunter claimed to have found scraps of the missile which carried English writing.
This led some bystanders to suggest the missile may have been accidentally fired by US-led forces, rather than by the Iraqis. "

Thank God the mall was empty...
Sadly, it seems Iraqi blood is cheap, and the lives of the Anglo-Saxon invaders are far more important. So much for "liberating" the Iraqi people...
