>>U.S. Forces Awaiting Any Order To Attack Iraq
>>
>>
>>
>> By Charles Aldinger
>>
>> WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. bombers and warships armed with more than
>>400 cruise missiles stood ready in the Gulf Wednesday and defense
>>officials said they were awaiting an expected order from [Council on
>>Foreign Relations member ] President Clinton to strike Iraq.
>>
>> The officials, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters that any
>>strike by U.S. forces could come quickly in response to a new U.N. report
>>Tuesday that Iraq had broken its promise to cooperate with arms
>>inspections.
>>
>> "I would say, personally speaking, that such a move is very likely
>>without any warning. But I am not aware of any order now," said one
>>official.
>>
>> A White House spokesman said [Council on Foreign Relations member ]
>>Clinton presided over an early morning meeting attended by Secretary of
>>State [Council on Foreign Relations member ] Madeleine Albright,
>>Secretary of Defense [Council on Foreign Relations member ] William
>>Cohen and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army Gen. Henry
>>Shelton.
>>
>> The decision over whether to strike at Iraqi President Saddam Hussein
>>was being seen in the light of other major concerns pressing on Clinton,
>>including his looming impeachment by the House of Representatives and the
>>crisis in the Middle East peace process.
>>
>> [Council on Foreign Relations member ] Clinton, just returned from a
>>grueling trip to Israel, had been expected to spend the day trying to
>>rally support against impeachment on charges arising from his affair with
>>former White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The House was expected to vote
>>Thursday or Friday, but congressional sources said Republicans discussed
>>whether they would go ahead with the vote if bombing started.
>>
>> U.S. officials said more than 200 aircraft and 20 warships, including 15
>>B-52 bombers, were deployed in the Gulf region carrying hundreds of cruise
>>missiles and other bombs.
>>
>> White House spokesman P.J. Crowley said the foreign policy advisers
>>arrived at the White House at about 7 a.m. EST (1200 GMT) for the meeting,
>>which lasted for an hour. He could not say how long Clinton participated
>>in the session.
>>
>> "They discussed the situation in Iraq," Crowley said, declining to give
>>further details.
>>
>> Earlier Wednesday, another U.S. official said that U.S. officials would
>>have to study the U.N. report to decide "appropriate next steps" adding:
>>"I don't want to foreshadow the use of force one way or the other."
>>
>> The U.N. Special Commission (UNSCOM) Tuesday reported that Baghdad was
>>not cooperating with its inspections meant to eliminate Iraq's weapons of
>>mass destruction, a situation that U.S. officials described as "very
>>serious."
>>
>> Oil prices jumped on world markets following reports of a possible
>>attack. In the opening minutes of trading in New York, oil futures rose 70
>>cents to $12.25 a barrel.
>>
>> In mid-November, U.S. and British forces were on the verge of massive
>>bombing attacks on Iraq. The attacks were called off at the last minute
>>after Saddam reversed Baghdad's Oct. 31 refusal to cooperate with U.N.
>>weapons inspectors.
>>
>> U.S. officials said then that if Saddam went back again on his pledge to
>>allow free inspections there would be no further warning.
>>
>> The only indication of an impending attack, one senior official said,
>>would be the withdrawal of UNSCOM personnel.
>>
>> Butler concluded Tuesday that Iraq had failed to restore full
>>cooperation with his weapons experts.
>>
>> "Iraq's conduct ensured that no progress was able to be made in either
>>the fields of disarmament or account for its prohibited weapons programs,"
>>he said in a sharp report to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and the
>>Security Council.
>>
>> U.N. weapons inspectors were evacuated abruptly from Iraq to Bahrain
>>Wednesday, and all of the world body's international staff have now left
>>Iraq, a U.N. official said.
>>
>> There has been no other sign of an impending strike ahead of the
>>month-long Muslim holy observance of Ramadan, which begins this weekend.
>>
>> Pentagon officials declined to say whether [Council on Foreign
>>Relations member ] Cohen was considering changing plans to travel to
>>Brussels later in the day to attend an important two-day meeting of NATO
>>defense ministers on the alliance's future strategy.
>>
>> The Pentagon said the force in the Gulf region included 15 heavy B-52
>>bombers armed with air-launched cruise missiles on the Indian Ocean island
>>of Diego Garcia, and eight cruisers and destroyers capable of firing
>>Tomahawk cruise missiles.
>>
>> Also in the Gulf armada was the aircraft carrier Enterprise. Britain, a
>>strong supporter of the U.S. position on Iraq, has several warships and at
>>least a dozen Tornado attack jets based in the Gulf.
>>
>> In addition to more than 200 U.S. warplanes and support aircraft,
>>including those on the Enterprise and at bases in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and
>>other moderate Gulf states, the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson is scheduled
>>to arrive in the Gulf within days to replace the Enterprise.
>>
>> The Navy alone has more than 350 Tomahawk missiles stockpiled in the
>>Gulf region, a package that could cause major damage to Iraqi military
>>targets.
>>
>> Eight of the 15 B-52s on Diego Garcia arrived only days ago to replace
>>the seven others in a normal rotation. That rotation is not scheduled to
>>be completed until next week. Each of the planes can carry up to 20
>>long-range cruise missiles.
>>
>> Four swing-wing B-1 heavy bombers are also based in Oman and dozens of
>>F-15, F-16 and A-10 attack jets in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
>>
>> Pentagon spokesman Ken Bacon told reporters Tuesday that the United
>>States had 24,100 military personnel in the Gulf region.
>>
>> Responding to questions, Bacon stressed that despite the impeachment
>>proceedings [Council on Foreign Relations member ]Clinton had full moral
>>responsibility and authority to make any decision on Iraq policy.
>>
>> "The president [Council on Foreign Relations member Clinton] is the
>>commander-in-chief (of the armed forces)," Bacon said. "I think that he
>>has the full authority given under the Constitution to take any action he
>>needs to take in protection of our national interest, whatever he decides
>>that is."
