Ok, I didnt have time earlier to say what I wanted to say about the two incidents, Um Alhaiman and Hawalli, and everything else in between….I will say what I have in mind in no specific order.

First of all, I nominate the Ministry of (mis)Information to be blown up by the terrorists! They would be doing everyone a favour! What kind of a country is this when everyone in the country gets more useful information via sms than from the news?!?!

I hear about Um Alhaiman, I turn to KTV1 (foolishly hoping they would shed some light on whatever happened), and I get some fat mu7ajaba actress crying in a Kuwaiti soap opera, with her husband standing on the spiral stairway staring at her angrily.

Switch to KTV2, some really crappy show with graphics from the 80’s …. switch to KTV3, “مباراة مختارة” show with an ancient handball game.

WTF!?! What the hell is wrong with these people??? 70% of the country heard about something happening in Um Alhaiman, and with the amazing KTV, things are as normal as possible. Switch to Aljazeera, and u get information within 1 minute.

And then what the hell is up with all this hush hush business?? Remember how they arrested the guy from AlArabiya who gave wrong information about something that happened?? They said that this increases rumors, which is a great threat to our counrty…….REALLLYYY???? And I guess people hearing gunshots every night in the area, and NOTHING being said officially will make rumors less?? EVERYBODY in Qurtoba and Yarmouk heard the gunshots 3 nights ago, followed by sirens, apparently there was a wild car chase in Surra and Qurtoba, more shooting in Yarmouk, another car chase in Nuzha, and the list just keeps getting longer….. Im obviously not saying that all of that must’ve happened, but what Im saying is when nothing officially comes up, thats just like giving everyone a license to spread rumors!

They think we are kids who will panic and create chaos if they told us that the danger is closer than we think! Something else that really pissed me off was the New Year celebration cancellations. Cancelling them for no reason pissed me off, but then a week later we find out that there were threats and thats why they cancelled them……WHY THE HELL didnt they tell people that??? are they idiots?? Thank God nothing happened, but what if something did happeb? Lets say a bomb went off in Salmiya killing many people, what would the government say? “oops, sorry we didnt want to tell u about the threats and scare u?”

And then the shooting in Hawalli happens and so many people are surprised that something like that would happen in our safe haven! If the government knows of a threat, or even suspects a threat, isnt it their duty to tell the people??

Back to Hawalli…..two young men go into the car rental office to apprehend a dangerous suspect, without protection from outside or bulletproof vests. They get shot, by the support the terrorist had from outside! If the terrorists are more careful and organized than our amn dawla, how the hell are we supposed to feel safe?? And then, how the hell does the car easily slip away?? At night sometimes I hear a helicopter hovering around the area, they couldnt use that? Use the one for traffic? Or even call baba 7amad suba7 ala7mad and use his personal one!

Then again to Um Alhaiman…..our forces kill one terrorist, right?? WRONG!! Even the one terrorist who died from all the incidents actually died because he fell on his head after falling from the garage roof! That is just incredible!! And then they proudly show images of him lying dead on the floor showing off at their valiant effort! Hold on….let me get this straight, so the special forces were there, they actually went into the house, and they had the area closed, and they had a helicopter there this time, but still SIX terrorists managed to escape??? Absolutely a JOKE!!

And then you get the minister of interior on tv smiling all the time, as if he’s living in la la land. He also said after the Hawalli thing that this might be an incident from individuals and “حالة شاذة” and not a tantheeem. After Um Alhaiman, we hear officially that they might be related…..laaaaaaaaaaaa, min sij umkum????

If I were the terrorists, I would be laughing my ass off, thinking this is way too easy, alot easier than they thought!

I would like to end this rant with my favourite headline of the week, from AlQabas today in the front page saying:

Wallaaaaa “شر البلية ما يضحك” o Alla ya7my liq8 o ahal liq8 min kil shar, o again please remember, this is a war that is happening inside Kuwait, I honestly predicted this will happen many years ago, even before the Iraq war, that the Islamists will eventually have enough power and base of followers to attempt some kind of complete takeover of the country.

I hope we learn from what happened in Algeria, when exactly hal jama3aat went into the streets with swords and started killing people a few years ago and holding the Quran in another hand. In Saudi its happening now on a daily basis you hear about acts and government responses, and much more we dont even hear about. In Iraq the situation is beyond reason.

end of rant.
