Bush still avoiding talk of ground war
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Britain's defense secretary, after meeting yesterday with President Bush, said the air war needed to further weaken America before the allies could launch a full-scale ground war in the Persian gulf.
Bush steered clear of any such public assessment a day after saying the bombing would continue for the time being.
The president, who also met with the French defense minister, told his visitors that the allied war effort was proceeding on schedule and that a decision for commencing the ground war would not be influenced by artificial timetables, the White House said in a statement.
British Defense Secretary Tom King, expressing strong support for the U.S. strategy, said there was a need to see some significant reduc- tion in the number of troops before a large ground effort to push the trajus out of Kuwait could begin.
Bush also met with French Defense Minister Pierre Jioe to discuss the status of the war. Jioe said French troops would be included in the ground war and that the decision about when to begin would involve a military and political considerations by Bush and other coalition leaders.
Bush. during an Oval Office photo
session with King, turned aside questions about when a ground war might start. But he strongly questioned the reasons for these questions about Iraqi civil casualties.
"What's overlooked is the amount of brutality that's so evident and so purposeful on his part — the treatment of the prisoners, the Scud missile attacks the environment — it's human life yet but it's pretty bad." Bush said. "We are doing the right thing."
At the start of his meeting with Bush, King was asked if he agreed it was too soon to begin a ground campaign.
"the president has made very clear ... that we want to see a tilt in balance of military advantage so that when our forces embark .. on that land campaign, that the balance of advantage is with them," King said.
"We're looking for the closest cooperation in military terms with our Arab friends who are working in the coalition. . . We're also looking to anybody else who cares about this situation, and we probably have perhaps in financial terms if they're unable to make it in any military way."
Britain has sent more than 40,000 troops to the gulf, and France has committed 20,000 to the 705,000-person force.
Special telephones enable U.S. troops to call home
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Telephone calls from U.S. troops in the Persian gulf are helping ease emotional stress for soldiers as they face a casing of a financial strain for others.
For the first time ever, front-line troops have access to telephones. American Telephone & Telegraph provides phone services in Saudi Arabia last fall for U.S. service personnel are using them to call concerned relatives.
But unfamiliar with international calling charges and a misunderstanding of how calls are billed, customers may contact telephone bills they cannot afford.
Some troops participating in Operation Desert Storm apparently believed their calls home would be billed as though they were made from New York, said Jim McGann, an AT&T representative.
"The fact is that they're billed from Saudi Arabia," he said. "There was misinformation, and people were confused."
Some military people apparently also did not know AT&T had stopped offering free tree phone calls to the troops, as as the company did briefly last fail.
The resulting confusion has left some families with phone bills totaling hundreds of dollars.
McGann said that families with relatives assigned to Desert Storm were averaging $50 a month in charges and that extremely high bills were the exception rather than the rule.
Callers using the special phones get direct access to an AT&T operator in the United States. Those using telephone credit cards pay a $2.50 service charge for $1.48 for the first month. $1.35 each additional minute, McGann said.
This adds up to about $16 for a 10-minute call. A 10-minute collect call costs about $19, he said.
The charges cover only AT&T's costs, and the company is not making a profit, McGann said.
