BAGHDAD — An Iraqi military official ordered Iraqi troops to stop all fighting in the Persian Gulf War. But today during a Baghdad radio address,
Iraq agrees to abide by all Security Council resolutions
The order came hours after Iraqi diplomats said they had promised the United Nations that Iraq would honor all 12 Security Council resolutions on
President Bush had called last night for a temporary cease-fire that would become permanent if Saddam Hussein honored the resolutions
The Iraqi military official told Baghdad Radio listeners that Bush's order would spare the battered country further losses.
"President Bush ordered to suspend military operations," the official said. "We are happy for the halt in fighting, which will save a lot of our sons and grant the safety of our
people.
"Therefore, orders were issued to all our men in the battlefront not to open fire."
Iraqi diplomats said the U.N. letter was addressed to the Security Council and Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar and was signed by Iraqi Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz.
"This suspension of offensive combat operations is contingent upon Iraq's not firing upon any coalition forces and not launching Scud missiles against any other country," Bush said. "If Iraq violates these terms, coalition forces will be free to resume military operations."
Bush said last night that a permanent cease-fire would depend upon Iraq's compliance with N. resolutions, and he retains the rights of all prisoners and Kuwaiti detainees.
The end of the fighting, if it holds,
came exactly 100 hours after allied
forces launched their ground attack and six weeks after allies began their relentless bombardment that left the Iraqi army unwilling to fight.
"Kuwait is liberated, Iraq's army is defeated," Bush said. "Our military objectives are met. Kuwait is now the world's most militarized, in control of their own destiny."
Bush decided to call off the fighting after determining that pursuing it further would lead to unnecessary harm. Mr. Bush's secretary Marlin Fitzwater said
The president pointed to Saddam as the source of Iraq's devastation as he included a message to the Iraqi people in his address, "You, the people of Iraq, are not our enemy. We do not seek your destruction. We have treated your prisoners of war with kindness."

Lt. Col Bill Fargo was watching CNN in Jiddah, Saudi Arabia, when President Bush announced a ceasefire in the Persian Gulf War last
Fargo was surprised. But he did not allow the news to raise his hopes
"There's just a cease-fire," Fargo said. "It doesn't mean that war is over. But it's nice that it's getting closer to the end."
Fargo, a Topeka resident, said it was 5 a.m. in Jiddah when CNN aired Bush's address. Many of the soldiers

Tim Miller, assistant professor of religious studies, said after the forum that the first thing to do after a war was what Lincoln did after the Civil War: Be as generous as possible with the enemy.
As the announcement of a ceasefire signaled the apparent end of the Persian Gulf War, a forum of six professors discussed the past, current and future policy of the United States in the region.
By Benjamin W. Allen Kansan staff writer
"We have to gain by any further humiliation of the people of Iraq," he said. "We need to be able to make a better future is to make it better."
Members of the forum expressed their concern that the phrase "support our troops" had been misconceived as "support the policy" and that real support for the troops was only when the troops came home.
