Bush offers Saddam a permanent cease fire after swift victory
President Bush declares a suspension of combat against Iraq and invites Iraqi commanders to meet within 48 hours to arrange a cease-fire. He conditions the halt on Iraq's compliance with UN resolutions and the return of all prisoners and detainees, warning that any violation will allow a resumption of hostilities. The United States begins withdrawing troops as Kuwait is declared freed. Speech draws praise from Congress, but Foley cautions peace will be a longer process.
