Sunil Sood writes "Yes, its that time of year again - no, not the New Year but when the UK National Archives release a whole lot of previously "classified" information (many govt papers in the UK, with only a few exceptions, are classified secret for a 'standard' 30 years) As normal, you have the usual combination of the amusing: The design of a coin to mark the UK joining the EEC was changed, after Prince Philip said he did not like the 'little p', and the more serious: it was believed the USA had plans for US airborne troops to seize the oil installations in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in 1973."

Wow, a pathetic troll. Seems to me like a large part of the past 40 years had Israel fighting for its very existence against the Arab states you claim the US and Israel are bent on destroying.
Also, where was the hate mentioned?
This guy is way out there
Wow an insightful mod for repeating what the parent said? What can I do to get some of that karma, make a cutting, sarcastic remark about the Slashdot moderation?
Mother, do you think they'll like this sig?
They're also arresting people for having "WMDs".
Even people who don't have any.
The difference being that these plans are contingencies, and the plans that terrorists make are to be used against US civilians ASAP.
