<d> Bush on TV & Radio...  .. not seeking Iraq distruction; 
   Continue avoid civilian causulties, despite the fact that 
   SH hid army in cevilian places...  ..open for question: .. 
   15 Billion IS included in the budget, + allied support... 
   (50 to 51 Billons).  ..don't think war surtax is needed...  
   not trying to wipe out oil production and refinary.. just 
   to stop the Iraqi military machine..  ...do not beleive it 
   would be long war... but this doesn't signal ground war...  
   ...demonstration on TV shows strong support in arab 
   counties, although there are some that don't... Anyhow, it 
   would not influance/delay Bush decisions to continue the 
   war as needed. ... Bush thanks the support of arab & other 
   countries...  ..Haven't seen Iranian proposal...  ...Iran 
   didn't convay a proposal to the US..  Iraq don't show any 
   flexibility for withdrawal from Kuwait... PrimeMinister 
   Majors spoke very well...  ...about timing of ground war.. 
   Bush is waiting to hear from Chany & Powels... he himself 
   is not sure that air attack alone isn't enough...  ...Bush 
   don't know how much SA realy know what happens in the field 
   (like in Chafji..) ...  ...(err: ...how much SH really know.
   ... [not SA]...).  ...(repate on my correction: the 
   reference was to SH - Saddam, not SA !!) (sorry).  ...Iran 
   knows that Saddam have to comply with the withdrawl.. In 
   all the talks there is NO indication that Saddam considers 
   any withdrawl...  ...Bush doesn't put it in term of 
   surrendering, just complying with US resolution of 
   withdrawal... but he (Bush) don't know what will give this 
   result...  ..again, want to keep risk to coalition allies 
   minimal...  ...Question about the Soviet Union.... Gorbi 
   still represent S.U. ... Still the president.. so Bush will 
   deal with him...  ...reaching out to the Soviet Union was 
   appropriate...  ...visit Nikson to China was too, despite 
   problems...[I missed some part]...

<d> ...Saddam should be VERY VERY careful thinking about 
   using chemical.... Bush want to leave it vague...  ...No 
   intention to re-instate the draft.. the volunteere army is 
   capable of doing the job... No, he will not reinstate the 
   draft...  ...Bush is not going to second-guess ... (??).. 
   remain on the military plan that was decided...  ...Before 
   Jan 15 there was the same filing -let the sunctions work-, 
   same is now -let limit to air 'work'-, but Bush has total 
   confidence on his military stuff to give the right 
   recomendations...  ...ceacfire (sp)... return right away to 
   rightfull government.. SH should withdraw w/o concession... 
   not "I'l withdraw when you do.."...  ... Bush is sleeping 
   very well...  (corection: military staff; not stuff... and 
   please overlook other typo's...).  (or let me know, so I 
   can correct it)... [ ;-)].  ...got a beautiful letter from 
   a wife of a pilot that was killed... supporting Bush...  ...
   very few losses, but Bush fill every one...  ----- End of 
   Bush talk -----  NPR: Military briefing from (?) :....  ...
   over 2800 sorties last 24hrs.... good evidence that now 
   there are 110 plans Iraq -> Iran...  ...US helicopter 
   destuy 1 convey(?) with 1 tow missle...  ...had report of 
   25 Iraqi surrendered, 2 of them officers...  USS Missuri 
   acting again...No Scuds fired last night... US didn't 
   attack scuds because they were not active...  ...open to 
   questions...
<sig/+report> DJIA: +14.11 on 128M shares - Gold unchanged -
    $$$ down slightly in Europe
<d> the nationality of the 6 suspects (of what?) are not 
   Iraqi..  ...don't know about any allied attack on oil 
   facilities in the last 24hrs...  ...the plans that went 
   into Iran are....(missed that, sorry)...  ...the 6 suspects 
   are the ones investigated in S.A.  ...what about reports 
   that Saddam is on trenquilizeds? what position he is in? : .
   ..answ: can't speculate...

<d> ...what about the comment of the Israeli report that 
   only 1/2 of scuds launchers were destroyed?...  ...no clear 
   (to me) response...  ...what usefull information do you get 
   from the EPOW?   ...ans: reffer the question to S.A.   ...

<Swan/+report> Remember those 50 vehicles that mysteriously

   feared would be used in a terrorist attack?  They found  10 
   of them, borrowed by the marines.  the others are believed
