Iraq braces for invasion as deadline nears outcome unclear
Iraq and the United States led invasion forces prepare for war amid mounting troop deployments and air activity near the border. About 300,000 troops with more than 1,000 warplanes stand ready, as Saddam's Baath party members mobilize in Baghdad. Iraqi officials accuse the U.S. of lies while intelligence hints at possible chemical weapon use if Iraq is threatened, with generals warning such a move would be disastrous.
