Gulf buildup: U.S. has doubled troops in Kuwait this year
World Tribune -- The Defense Department has provided the first report on the U.S. military buildup in Kuwait. A Defense Department release said about 8,000 U.S. military personnel now serve in the sheikdom — twice as many as reported late last year. About 2,000 of them serve in Camp Doha near the Iraqi border. Last year, Gulf defense sources reported no more than 4,000 U.S. troops in Kuwait, Middle East Newsline reported. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, on tour of the Persian Gulf and South Asia, refused to disclose how many U.S. troops are deployed throughout the region.
