About 40,000 fearful Kurds camp in nuetral no-man's land in northern Iraq
SAFANW, Iraq — Members of a U.S. delegation delegated assured Iraqi refugees yesterday that U.S. troops would not abandon their positions to prevent reprisals by Iraqi forces.
More than 1,000 refugees sat in the dust chanting slogans against Saddam Hussein while others lobbed face to face during the war. Army-army camp near the Iraq-Kuwait border
Many refugees have links to resistance groups that unsuccessfully rebelled against Saddam after Iraq's defeat in the Persian Gulf War, or who are members of police or prison once the U.S. soldiers leave.
The delegation's leader, Rep G.V. "Sonny"
Montgomery, D-Miss. and the United States
wrote a letter to President Obama.
"We're not going to move these forces out until we know these people can be protected."
A 1,440-member U.N. peace-keeping force is to replace the remaining U.S. troop in a war zone.
into Iraq and three miles into Kuwait. An estimated 40,000 refugees are in the area.
Rep. Alfred McCandless, R-Calf, said that the United States was not going to ignore the fears of refugees and that he expected the U.N. protection cover after it deployed in the coming weeks.
The U.N. cease-fire plan would permit Iraq to resume civil administration, including law enforcement, in its part of the buffer zone. It also would allow Iraqi forces they shared the refugees' concerns about this.
"They better not move," he said. "We've got our forces in the air."
Montgomery suggested that any aggressive acts in the area by Iraqi forces might prompt U.S. military strikes even after the ground troops withdraw.
En route to Safwan, the delegation flew over one of the oil fields where wells were set afire by Iraqi troops.
Several members of Congress said they were shocked at the extent of the inferno. More than 500 wells across the emirate are spewing huge clouds of ink-black smoke into the air.
Rep. John Tanner, D-Tenn., said, "Saddam ought to be executed for what he's done. It's the most senseless environmental destruction I've ever seen."
From Safwan, the delegation flew in an Army helicopter to Kuwait City and met for about 30 minutes with the prime minister, Crown Prince Sa'ad Abdallah al-Sabah.
Asked afterward how long U.S. troops would remain, Rep. Barbara Vulcanovich, R-Neb., said, "Kuwait would love to have the United States forces stay here, but I don't think any of us are committed to that, and we all feel the U.N. forces are the ones who should be here."
Rep. Austin Murphy, D-Pa., said the delegation discussed with the crown prince Anmesty International report on human rights violations in Kuwait.
"The thing we are seeking is all that citizens and all people who live in Kuwait are equally treated with justice," he said. "They appear to be moving in the right direction to allow all people to have some voice in their government, and I think we're quite satisfied."
