Update For US Troops Serving in Kuwait

My contact in Kuwait has told me that US troops serving in Kuwait do not have access to comprehensive news about their area of operation, and have been reading blogs for more information. The Dread Pundit Bluto has been reporting about recent events in Kuwait, but I will pay more attention to the area in the future. I ask any bloggers who are interested in helping and have information they think would be valuable to our servicepeople to email me at dreadpundit@hotmail.com.
