U S weighs Kuwait as staging area for possible Iraq war
Defense experts say the United States could stage a ground campaign from Kuwait and other Gulf states even without Saudi bases. About 12 000 US troops are in Kuwait training for desert warfare, with 14 000 more in the region. The USS Lincoln and a carrier group are ready in the northern Persian Gulf.
