KTV News Producers

Did the production team on KTV News actually read the articles that appeared in the foreign press about Sheikh Jaber? There they were gushing over the New York Times and The Independent and God knows who else, and practically thanking them for their kind words, almost beaming with pride for being mentioned so prominently in the world press, when in truth the NYT article was more concerned with what the future holds for Kuwait and the inevitable power struggle, whereas the Independent...

Meanwhile, over at Al-Jazeera.. as expected, a mean-spirited article followed by some outrageously nasty comments. Good to see many Kuwaitis refuting the crap that's populating the comments, so jump in and add your 2 fils worth.

Note that the comments are moderated by Al-Jazeera before they appear which explains why my comment didn't make it. It went something like this (from memory):

Typical Jazeera and its viewers... all they can focus on is the US invasion of Iraq, which would've happened with or without Kuwait, and conveniently forgetting the CENTCOM base in Qatar not to mention Saddam's illegal - and unnecessary - invasion of Kuwait which led to this whole mess in the first place. Saddam brought destruction to Kuwaitis, Iraqis (who had no choice) and the foolish Palestinians who backed him in the belief that he was actually out to liberate THEM!

So Kuwait stopped aid to the Palestinians after the invasion?! Gee, I wonder why... If you have any grievances please take them out on your own leaders and leave Kuwait out of it!
