Kuwait versus Iraq (now)

" The Iraqi government is investigating a shootout on Monday between an Iraqi fishing boat and a Kuwaiti Coast Guard vessel in the Persian Gulf that left a Kuwaiti serviceman dead and five fishermen briefly in Kuwaiti custody, a spokesman for the Iraqi government said on Tuesday."  As is well-known, the US maintains a neutral stance toward any conflict between Iraq and Kuwait and would not interfere if the Iraqi puppet government were to invade Kuwait.   Successor of April Glaspie has been notified to transmit that message to Nouri Maliki.
