- <p> Pentagon planners are resisting pressure from the Kuwaiti
- royal family to include Kuwaiti troops in the first wave of any
- ground attack to free their country. U.S. officials fear that
- the returning Kuwaitis might slaughter every Palestinian in
- sight. Many of the exiles believe that Palestinians living in
- the emirate collaborated with the Iraqi army and revealed
- information about important Kuwaitis to the invading forces.
- Pentagon officials prefer to place Saudi troops, instead, in
- the vanguard of any assault. Once the area is stabilized, the
- exiles will be allowed a triumphant march into Kuwait City.
