Officials say air raids will not be stopped yet
WASHINGTON  U.S. officials said today that Baghdad radio's announcement that Iraq is willing to withdraw from Kuwait will not be enough to stop the Persian Gulf War.
"The campaign goes on. We're not going to change anything on the strength of a radio announcement," said a senior military of fictional speaking on condition of
anonymity.
Iraq's official radio aired an announcement this morning from Iraq's ruling Revolutionary Command Council headed by Saddam Hussein. The announcement said that Iraq agreed to U.N. demands that it leave Kuwait. But the state should be linked to a pullout of allied forces from the region and an Israeli pullout from the occupied territories.
Another Pentagon official also reacted cautiously, saying, "We have to wait and see. My reaction is more of relief than surprise."
President Bush and other U.S. officials have said since the war began that the fighting would stop only when a massive Iraqi troop withdrawal from Kuwait was actually in progress.

Special to the Kansan

Special to the Kroon
It was supposed to be the most romantic and special Valentine's Day of her life.
She had planned on spending part of it with the man she loved and planned to marry. But this Valentine's Day, Jennifer Weeks of Lawrence plans to spend the day at work and with friends, quietly thinking about finance, who is serving in the Persian Gulf.
Weeks is just one of many involved in a long-distance relationship. For these people, seeing their loved ones may not be enough so they try to make the best of the situation.
"I don't think I'll really be lonely," Weeks said. "I have been keeping pretty busy, and I'll go out at that evening with some close friends. However, I will miss him."
Keeping in touch with a loved one in the gulf can be difficult. Because telephone calls are limited to emergency situations, he had been doing a lot of letter-writing.
Weeks' fiance, a member of the 410 Medford unit outfits, Riley, was sent the gulf to help with repairs.
"I have been keeping a journal of my thoughts and feelings." Weeks said. "This is where I usually write my letters. If there were people who would cheer him up, I send it right away."
"I talked to him twice and he sounded really positive," Weeks said. "Any personal contact, like a phone call, really helps you hold on."
As far as Valentine's day is concerned, she will not entirely certain what she will send her.
"I know I'll send him a big card," Weeks said. "The military is discouraging people from sending packages. However, the Salvation Army is sending a Valentine's
Even though the day will be spent without her fiance, Weeks said the day would not be much different from years past.
Day package to anyone over there. I will do that so he can get a package."
"We have never spent a Valentine's Day together," Weeks said. "He has always been somewhere or doing something."
One thing is certain, Weeks will be concerned and worried about the safety of her
"I'm baking him a great big box of chocolate chip cookies," Bray said. "They're his favorite. I'm also sending him Gummie Bears and a card. Beyond that there is not much else I can do. I doubt we need to talk to each other on Valentine's Day."
Christine Bray also is involved in a long-distance relationship. Her fiance is in the military, but he is not stationed in the Peruian, but he is in Okinawa, Japan, 10,000 miles away.
Bray said that managing long-distance relationships was not easy, especially around Valentine's Day. However, she said there was a positive side.
"When you only have the telephone and letters to communicate, I think that you tend to be more honest with each other." Bray said. "You don't have the time to fool someone else." The attitude are not. The attitude becomes, 'Here I am, and if you don't like it that's too bad.'
In dealing with the absence of a loved one on Valentine's Day, or any day, both women said it was important to try to be positive for the other person and to remember the good and funny times you had together.
Bray said that being apart from her fiance on Valentine's Day would be difficult. However, she already has made plans.
