Gulf force pivots to swift strike option amid Iraq stand
The U S military presence in the Persian Gulf is about 23 400 personnel, half the size ordered earlier after Saddam Hussein blocked U N weapons inspectors. Pentagon and White House officials say the force could react within hours to a strike if ordered and diplomacy with Britain and France continues. Fifteen inspectors left Baghdad as U N chiefs reduce teams amid Iraq's defiance, while the Pentagon readies a smaller, differently configured force and keeps cruise missiles well stocked for potential action.
