US backs off threats as Iraq tensions persist
Defense Secretary Perry kept alive the threat of attacking Iraq while urging Saddam to halt mobile anti aircraft missiles near patrols. President Clinton said the US seeks no confrontation and aims to limit Saddam's threats to neighbors. Kuwait agreed to accept 3000 new US ground troops after a prior misstep. General Shalikashvili said Iraqi signs were mixed though they seemed to comply with demands to stop firing on US aircraft. The crisis appears to continue for several days with airstrikes possible depending on Saddam's actions.
