<d/+report> NPS: Briefing from Riad..... is coming soon...  
   Saddam is scheduled to talk to Iraqi people too...  ...army 
   aircraft was lost.. 2 pilots killed...
<Belladona/+report> Complaining about historical "abuses" 
   of oil-rich Arab states...
<Swan/+report> "bush rejected it... he called it a cruel 
   hoax.  King faahd also rejected it... they say the war will 
   continue.  Those who will be preoccupied with the 2nd 
   august events, were really perpertrating their schemes on 
   Iraq.  look what bush in fact what they are doing. They 
   start saying something and they want more and more.  
   Finally they reveal their real intentions.  They used to 
   say that they wish that Iraq will withdraw.  Just merely 
   withdraw.  Note their media.  They are talking about 
   stripping iraq of power and capability.  Stripping Iraq of 
   all its characteristics, moral characteristics and faith.   
   But their designs will be frustrated.  (much is inaudible 
   to me) "they are not saying now what they used to say.  
   They always want something new. (beyond mere withdrawal).  
   Our people and forces are determined to continue this 
   struggle (!) they are willing to sacrifice because.  every 
   step we make should have them reciprocated.  we understood 
   withdrawal within the context of a more comprehensive 
   arrangement, and if the initiative is rejected, then this 
   shows their premeditated intentions.  and we'll continue 
   the struggle,, confident that we will eventually win 
   victory, the mother of battles is our great battle of 
   victory and martydom.  We should be patient.  note brothers 
   note how those who are opposing the land battle, ground 
   fighting-- they avoided ground fighting and concentrated on 
   killing civilians from the air.  This is reminiscent of (?).
     They don't want to confront our ground forces in southern 
   iraq.  Alot of people still don't know the real capability 
   of our army.  ... the dignity of iraq is part of the 
   dignity of arab nations.  Peace will open the door for 
   comprehensive peace in the region and ? as well.  but they 
   want us to surrender.  Well of course they will be 
   dissapointed.  You should be aware of the furnace of the 
   iraqi cause.  God is great, glory to the arab nation, god 
   is great, shame to the shameless.  (that is IT).  CNN 
   doesN't know quite what to make of it.  Several references 
   to withdrawing from kuwait, but frustration that Bush kept 
   adding requirements to the point where they want to strip 
   iraq.  the references to withdrawal were in terms of 
   saddams old peace initiative (the one with lots of demands).
     to some up it doesn't look to good to me but I could be 
   wrong.  CNN thinks the speech is a rejection of the USSR 
   initiative.  But they aren't sure.  CNN Moscow dissagrees 
   and thinks it may be a last bravado before Saddam hits the 
   negotiating table tonight.  So, some people think we should 
   wait before making a judgement about what the speech means, 
   since tarik aziz is communicating with the USSR tonight.  
   CBS thinks that whatever Tarik Aziz brings to the USSR 
   likely won't be enough to satisfy the coalition.  NBC says 
   there is no preparation in kuwait for withdrawal, in fact 
   the opposite is true they are preparing for invasion.  
   peter arnett in baghdad thinks the speech was for domestic 
   consumption, that it wasn't a drum beat for war.  CNN 
   israel has the senior advisor to shamir here.  He says it 
   would not be in Israels interest to leave saddam in power.  
   I'm hearing contradictory interpretations of the speech all 
   over. It's either propaganda for domestic/arab consumption 
   before a surrender, or it's preparation for war.
<Belladona/+report> What ABC seems to be saying is that we 
   dont know what Assiz is carrying to Moscow so we have to 
   wait and see.

   this attack
<Swan/+report> I didn't even know senegal had troops there. 
    Oh!  There were two scuds as WELL as two frogs launched.  
   The scuds didn't do any damage.  senegal apparently has 100 
   troops in the gulf according to someone.  There are 1355 
   prisoners in saudi ninety something are officers.  saudi 
   forces have entered enemy borders for the first time.  I 
   don't know to what degree.  the saudi forces entering iraq 
   were a "reconissance in force", company sized.  there are 
   rumors that increasing numbers of Mujahadin are showing up 
   to join coalition forces, beyond the initial 500.  white 
   house views saddams speech as a rejection of the peace 
   initiative.  Editor in Chief of arab news, an arab expert 
   on arabs, said saddams speech did not make sense.

<d/+report> here is transcript(~) of the Riad briefing that 
   took place about an hour ago:  Report an army OH59 crash 
   last night during a combat mission, failed to return from a 
   zone reconnaissance mission. There was no enemy contact in 
   the area. Both pilots were killed.  The total combat loses 
   now is 32 coalition aircrafts: 23 US, and 9 allies. There 
   has been no enemy aircraft shutdown in this reporting 
   period, and no additional Iraqi planes fled to Iran.  Loses 
   for Iraq remain at 42: 36 fixed wings and 6 (..?).  Last 
   evening F16 returning from a mission in Iraq had an engine 
   failure while conducting area re fueling operation. The 
   pilot ejected safely, and was recovered. This was counted 
   as a non-combat loss.  Also another non-combat loss was 
   United States Marine Core CH-46 made a controlled emergency 
   landing. One of the crew members did break his leg, and the 
   aircraft was determined not repairable, so it is a 2nd non 
   combat loss.  ...The total non combat aircraft loses stands 
   at 18 for US forces: 7 fixed wing, and 11 rotary.  
   ***correction : Riad > Ryhad ***.  Turning to the Kuwaiti 
   theatre of operations, today were over 800 sorties, and an 
   additional 100 sorties against the Republican Guards.  
   There were no scuds launched last night, however, 2 scuds 
   were launched on central Iraq area, and were obviously 
   aimed towards KKMC (what that?). No results as to injuries 
   or damage; if it will come, the Friday briefing will update 
   it.  ...That brings the total number of scuds fired up 
   today to 70.  Turning to ground operations, coalition 
   forces continue to engage Iraqi forces with artillery, 
   attach helicopters, tactical air, throughout the .. region. 
    Yesterday morning around 0700 US forces engaged Iraqi 
   patrols in 2 separate engages, resulting in the capture of 
   7 EPOW.  ...Early this afternoon US Marine Corp unit was 
   engaged by Iraqi small arms and Sagger(?) missle fire. 1 
   hamvi(?) was hit and slightly damaged. US Marine returned 
   fire, both direct and indirect fire. No reports of any US 
   causalities.  During the past 24hrs, several engagements 
   involving US forces flying OH-56 helicopters, H-64 
   Appachees, AH-1(?) Cobras engages 4 separate Iraqi 
   positions. The following results were recorded:
<sig/+report> The Soviet ambassador to Britain disclosed

<d/+report> ... 5 anti-aircraft system were destroyed, 5 
   Radar microwave dishes were destroyed, 2 APC (?) were 
   destroyed, 4 trucks, 1 com-van (?) and a bunker.  ...There 
   were no friendly casualties during any one of these 
   incidents.  To update on the 20 February bunker engagement 
   by the AH-64, a total EPOW count as a result of this 
   activity turned to be 421 EPOWs: 20 officers, and 401 
   enlisted troops. It included the battalion commander and 
   his stuff.
<sig/+report> an Iraqi withdrawal, The Times newspaper

<d/+report> Initially EPWs were concerned about being 
   captured by American forces, but as soon as the were told 
   that they are going to be fed and taken care off, they... 
   Remarkably improved.
<sig/+report> listed the main points given by envoy Leonid 
   Zamyatin:
<d/+report> The EPOWs has been transported across to SA 
   border, and are now being processed by US forces. During 
   that entire engagement there were no friendly casualties.
<sig/+report> Stage One:
<d/+report> Additionally, US forces returned to the same 
   area this afternoon....They located an additional 14 enemy 
   solders who has surrendered, and while policing (?) the 
   EPOWs, US forces discovered a locked bunker containing 
   intelligence documents. The EPOW
<sig/+report> acceptance, begin withdrawal; cease-fire 
   comes into force.
<d/+report> Weapons captured as a result of that engagement 
   were 3 ZSU23 AAA, pieces of equipment, 1 motor, and a 
   significant amount of AK-47s, and grenades, personal 
   weapons carried by those forces.  ...This was an infantry 
   battalion; moral seems to be very low; all seems to be very 
   tired, as a result of the continuing bombing Campaign. 
   Their overall state can be classified as poor;   they did 
   had sufficient uniform. (no rugtag outfit...). They did 
   complain about the officers better fed than the troops were.
<sig/+report> Moscow guarantees no attack on retreating 
   Iraqi troops.
<d/+report> The type of bunker was basically 5' by 10', 
   common dimension of a bunker. They were dug in with support 
   beams and tin corrugated roofs, covered by sand. A lot of 
   theme were used as combination bunker/living quarters.
<sig/+report> Stage 2:

   reconnaissance and counter reconnaissance efforts 
   throughout the border(?) area, and will continue to do so.

<d/+report> Other EPOWs news, reports from some EPOWs 
   indicates that their commanding officers in the Iraqi

   and a way to reinforce that accountability is, they being 
   forced to sign something called.   "the document of oath"(?)
<sig/+report> the region. Issues such as prisoners of war 
   to be discussed after withdrawal.
<d/+report> ...Officers are made to sign this, that they 
   accepting responsibility for any of their folks that desert.
    At the same time, the troopers are also are being forced 
   to sign a document of oath,.  in which they are promising 
   not to desert. We however do see some desertion 'problems' 
   throughout the Iraqi forces.
<sig/+report> All parties guarantee Iraq's territorial

<Swan/+report> the response is positive.  The two parties 
   said it is possible to find a way out of a military 
   conflict in the gulf along the following lines.  we see the 
   following approaches evolving.  1st iraq states its full an 
   unconditional withdrawl.  withdrawal starts on 2nd day of 
   cessasion of hostilities.  pows immediately released.  
   economic blocade ended.  well i missed alot, sorry.  I'll 
   try and get more later.  one of the conditions is that the 
   withdrawal will begin after the second day hostilities 
   cease.  I don't think this is acceptable to the US.  1) 
   iraq is ready for full and uncondition withdrawal 2) begins 
   on 2nd day of cease fire  3) they leave within fixed period 
   4) when 2/3rds out of country economic sanctions end 6) pow

   only artillery fire and air-raids continue, no ground war 
   (which would be a mass movement of troops).  Aust.ABC:
