HEADLINE: Ships Return to Pearl Harbor From Gulf
BYLINE: JAYMES SONG; Associated Press Writer
DATELINE: PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii
BODY:
Petty Officer 2nd Class Richard Barber hurried off his ship Saturday and immediately ran into
the arms of his wife Rachel.
For Barber and other sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, it was a welcome return to
U.S. soil after more than nine months away from home.
"It's great to be home," Barber said. "It still doesn't seem real. You send pictures, you talk,
you e-mail, but it's nothing like the real thing."
Hawaii was the first U.S. stop for the Lincoln and its crew of 5,000 since they left the ship's
homeport in Everett, Wash., on July 20, marking the longest deployment for a nuclear-
powered aircraft carrier in decades.
It traveled 118,238 miles was involved in three missions, including the war in Iraq.
Hundreds of family members and friends welcomed the Lincoln with cheers, leis, signs,
American flags, whistling, balloons, embraces and kisses.
Earlier, hundreds more across the harbor greeted the destroyer USS Paul Hamilton, part of
the Lincoln battle group, as it came home from an equally long deployment.
The Pearl Harbor-based Hamilton, which donned a huge plastic lei on its bow, and its crew
received a hero's welcome, complete with ukulele music and hula dancers.
"The spirit of aloha lives," Cmdr. Fred Pfirrman, commander of the Hamilton. "It was just
fantastic, a big lump in the throat for all 330 of us."
The Hamilton is credited with launching more Tomahawk cruise missiles during the war than
any other ship in the theater, Navy officials said.
During the war, the Lincoln's strike group flew more 1,600 missions and fired 116
I
Tomahawk missiles, all without the loss of life or aircraft.
Barber, who is based at Pearl Harbor, said the hardest part was not knowing when he would
return. The Lincoln was heading home on New Year's Day after a six-month deployment
when it was turned around and sent to the Persian Gulf.
"We had some great port visits - Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan - but there's
nothing like the United States," he said.

After a 24-hour layover in Hawaii, the Lincoln will depart Sunday for San Diego, where it
will drop off its air wing. President Bush plans to make a speech and spend the night
aboard the Lincoln on Thursday, leaving before the carrier arrives in San Diego on Friday.
The carrier is scheduled to return to Everett on May 6.
"Your extended 10-month deployment in direct support of our global war on terrorism will be
long remembered by both Central Command and the American people," Gen. Tommy Franks
said in a message to the Lincoln's battle group.
Roberta Ortiz couldn't wait for Lincoln to stop in California. She flew in from Albuquerque,
N.M., to greet her son, Michael Ortiz, 23.
"It's been torture," she said. "There were a lot of fears and a lot of prayers. I just wanted to
hug him, hold him so bad."
The majority of sailors aboard the Lincoln did not have any family to greet them in Hawaii.
But they were happy to back in the United States and on land.
"We've been out at sea for 96 days," said airman Daniel Turner, 23, of Kingwood, Texas. "It
feels good to be on dry land. All you see out there is water."

Navy Chaplain Lt. Charles Crane held his 2-month old daughter, Hannah, for the first time
Saturday.
"She looks great," he said. "I've seen pictures of her, but I still have a lot to get to know
about this little girl."
Also Saturday, 23 members of the Mississippi Air National Guard's 186th Air Refueling Wing
returned home, having completed their combat support mission in the war in Iraq. About
200 family members and well-wishers cheered and waved flags when the plane touched
down.

"He was the kind of kid who made coaching fun," said Langdon,
who remembers Das even though it's been more than 10 years

lieutenant, there. She was a sister of one of his pilot buddies.
They met at the Officer's Club. When the song, Amarillo by Morning, played, he asked
her to dance. They married 18 months ago and were stationed in Kuwait in side-by-
side tents - he as a pilot, she as an intelligence officer. "We'd eat together in the
mess hall and he'd joke that he was buying," she said.
"You have to have priorities in life, and Eric had them - God, family and country, in
that order," Nikki Das said. "He had a wonderful magnetic spirit. He had a fulfilled life,
and he died doing the thing he loved. He was very patriotic. And our freedom is not
free."
Cpl. Jason Mileo
Jason Mileo grew up in Maryland's Chesapeake Bay country, where he hunted and
fished with his father and grandfather.
He graduated in 2000 from Chesapeake High School in Pasadena, Md., where
Principal Harry Calender remembers him as a "solid kid," who seldom missed school,
got Bs in algebra, played on the golf team and loved working on the crew for the
drama club. "He was one of those kids you knew would grow up to do everything
right," Calender said.
But something went wrong. Mileo, 20, who survived the assault on Baghdad and was
in the city square when the statue of Saddam fell, was killed April 14 in friendly fire. He
was mistaken for an enemy soldier.
His parents, Phillip Hall and Leah Mileo Hall, of Centreville, Md., are in seclusion while
the Marine Corps investigates the accident. His parents released a statement saying,
"Words cannot express the sorrow we feel over the loss of our son. Jason embodied
the Marine Corps motto 'Semper Fidelis.' Jason was always faithful to his friends, his
family, his Marine Corps and his country. Jason died doing what he loved - being a
Marine, surrounded by Marines who loved him. We will miss him dearly."

His grandfather, Walter Hall, of Pasadena, Md., said everyone who knew Jason will
remember his fun-loving spirit and sense of humor. On the day that Baghdad fell, he
said, Mileo borrowed a reporter's telephone and called his parents. "He was proud that
the Marines were being celebrated and that he was there and a part of it," Hall said.
No one was there to take the call, but Mileo left an upbeat message, saying he would
be home soon.
"We feel that his death was noble because he was a soldier who willingly went into
battle to fight for freedom and liberty," Hall said. "And he fell. And he lost his life."
Cpl. John Rivero
John "Travis" Rivero's concerns when he deployed for the war in Iraq were less about
the dangers that lay ahead than the commitment he was leaving behind: his aging
grandmother.
Rivero, 23, a native of Gainesville, Fla., had spent a lot of time in recent years caring
for Nell McIntyre, the grandmother who helped rear him. The attention that he gave to
McIntyre and her neighbors was evident in the yellow ribbons that dotted the trees in
her quiet Gainesville subdivision after news arrived Friday that Rivero had been killed
in a Humvee accident.
Rivero, a member of the Florida National Guard, had been living in Tampa, where he
attended the University of South Florida before shipping out to the Middle East. He
was a gunner with the 124th Infantry Regiment from Orlando.
"He had been to over four countries since he left Gainesville," Terese Strickland, his
sister, told The Gainesville Sun. "He had learned so much about the world and about
life. There was so much he wanted to tell me."
Strickland said that she, her brother and her grandmother were brought closer together
after the children's father left the family when they were young. Before moving to
Tampa, Rivero had lived with his grandmother, caring for her and working part time as
a maintenance man, the Sun reported.
Rivero joined the service shortly after graduating from high school in 1998.
He studied computer science and engineering at the University of South Florida, where
he also was a member of the cheerleading team, which had been rated among the
nation's top squads.
Rivero was one of four people riding in the Humvee at the time of its crash; he was the
only one killed. The cause of the accident is under investigation.

Franklin D. Roosevelt's Address to Congress January
6, 1941
Ralph lemen Meachers Burs
Chapter 36
In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four
essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech and expression -- everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way -- everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want -- which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings
which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants -- everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear -- which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of
armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit
an act of physical aggression against any neighbor-- anywhere in the world.
That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own
time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny
which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.
To that new order we oppose the greater conception -- the moral order. A good society is able to face
schemes of world domination and foreign revolutions alike without fear.
Since the beginning of our American history, we have been engaged in change -- in a perpetual peaceful
revolution -- a revolution which goes on steadily, quietly adjusting itself to changing conditions --
without the concentration camp or the quick-lime in the ditch. The world order which we seek is the
cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.
This nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and
women; and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human
rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them. Our
strength is our unity of purpose.
To that high concept there can be no end save victory.
From Congressional Record, 1941, Vol. 87, Pt. I.

HEADLINE: USS Lincoln crew anxiously awaits homecoming, visit from Bush
BYLINE: By CHELSEA J. CARTER, Associated Press Writer
DATELINE: ABOARD THE USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN
BODY:
Navy Airman Robert Richter had trouble deciding which was more exciting - a visit aboard his
ship from President Bush or seeing his family when he returned from the war in Iraq.
"I'll be honest, it's hard to choose. I want to see the president and all. But I really just want
to go home and see my family," said Richter, 22, of Killeen, Texas.
The president was scheduled to visit the USS Abraham Lincoln on Thursday, a day before the
aircraft carrier was to pull into San Diego before returning to its homeport in Everett, Wash.
During his visit, Bush was expected to declare the war in Iraq a success.
A crew of more than 5,000 aboard the Lincoln awaited the arrival of the president, who was
expected to address the nation Thursday evening from the deck of the moving aircraft
carrier. Bush was being ferried to the ship by the Navy's S-3B "Viking" - to be called Navy
One because of its presidential passenger. As the plane lands on the Lincoln, cables stretched
across the deck are to catch it and wrench it to a stop in less than 300 feet.
A few lucky squadrons left the 1,100-foot ship Wednesday and returned to joyful
homecomings at Naval air stations along the West Coast. About 70 aircraft that supported
the war in Iraq flew back to their respective bases.
Two planes bearing more than 40 men and women of the Hustlers C-2 cargo squadron
swooped onto North Island Naval Air Station in San Diego Bay, where wives, parents and
children sprinted across the tarmac and wrapped themselves in the arms of loved ones they
last saw more than nine months ago.
"It's like the Super Bowl and the World Series all wrapped in one," said Chief Jeremy Johnson
as he hugged his wife, Julie. "It makes it all worth it."
Lt. Eric Doyle, an F-18 Super Hornet pilot, was among those leaving the ship before the

president's address.
"Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to get off. But I'd stay a day to hear the president," he
said.
Although Doyle will miss the speech, he and other pilots were set to meet the president
before they flew off the aircraft carrier to return to Naval Air Station Lemoore, about 30 miles
south of Fresno.
"Meeting the president is a close second to getting home and seeing your family," said Lt.
Mike Langbehn, 29, an F-18 Hornet pilot. "If he's late, I don't think we're going to wait.
We're going home."
For others who remained on board the Lincoln, the president's visit represented a final piece
of excitement before the end of one of the longest naval deployments since the Vietnam
War.
Airman Cassie Eoff, 21, of Van Buren, Ark., was supposed to get married April 16. But she
had to cancel it when the Lincoln, while on its way home from a six-month deployment in
the Persian Gulf, was ordered to return to the Gulf to prepare for a possible war with Iraq.
She said she has rescheduled the wedding for August.
"I just want to touch American land. I just want to get home and see my fiance," she said.

Subject: FW: Carrier Deployment Lists covering 1946-2002
These are the same lists we forwarded to Lincoln, CenCom and several other commands. From these
lists two deployments standout for length: The Philippine Sea (CV 47) deployed from 5 July 1950 to 9
June 1951 during the Korean War. She deployed with CVG-11 and in March 1951 CVG-11 crossdecked
with CVG-2. CVG-2 remained on Philippine Sea during the remainder of her deployment whilce CVG-11
returned to the States inApril 1951 abord Valley Forge (CV 45). The other carrier deployment to note is
that of Coral Sea (CVA 43). She deployed during the Vietnam War on 7 December 1964 and returned on
1 November 1965. The air wing aboard during the deployment was CVW-15.
>
Some of the more recent deployments to note are Nimitz (CVN 68) (10 Sep 1979-26 May 1980
with CVW-8); Eisenhower (CVN 69) (15 Apr 1980-22 Dec 1980 with CVW-7); Ranger (10 Sep 1980-5 May
1981 with CVW-2) and during the Persian Gulf War Saratoga (CV-60) deployed with CVW-17 from 7 Aug
1990-28 March 1991 and Kennedy (CV 67) with CVW-3 deployed from 15 Aug 1990-28 Mar 1991.

"He was a citizen of New York in every sense of the

Tejeda, who was born in the Dominican Republic,
Mugs, Mousepads,
never became a U.S. citizen. But he was a proud
T-Shirts and more
Marine, and it was his dream come true, said longtime
ADDREW(10)
friend Raymond Garcia.

"He loved the Marines, always. That was his dream, to
be a Marine - to make something of himself.
"Riayan was a great guy," he said. "He was a very

positive guy."

Tejeda was one of the proud few for eight years.
PageSix
The father of two daughters - Loriana, 3, and Miranda,
6 - Tejeda was in Baghdad on April 11, after the city
had already fallen. Saddam's statues had crumbled and
been dragged through the city streets, but the fighting
was not over.
Tale of Bush
There were still some remaining loyalists, and Tejeda
Twin in the Buff
was killed in a gun battle during the mop-up of
Baghdad.
During the hourlong Mass, Tejeda's mother, Rafaela,
cried and moaned as her other sons and husband, Julio
Cesar, tried to offer comfort.
Tejeda's daughters, both dressed in white, clung to their
mother, Dina.
And all was silent in the Dominican community as the
casket - draped in an American flag - was carried on the
shoulders of Marines and placed in a waiting hearse.
Throughout the service, Tejeda was called a hero who
fought bravely for this country. He was one of two
heroes buried yesterday.
Also yesterday, in Willingboro, N.J., another soldier
was laid to rest.
Army Staff Sgt. Terry Hemingway was 39. He died on
April 10, when a vehicle next to him suddenly
exploded.

Nearly 300 people gathered to say goodbye at the
Church of the Good Shepherd United Methodist in
Willingboro, where Hemingway's mother lives.
"Right in front of you is an American hero," said Army
Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton of Fort Benning, Ga., where
Hemingway was based. Eaton presented the Purple
Heart and the Order of the Purple Heart Distinguished
Service Award to the family.
Hemingway is survived by his wife, Darlene, who was
his high-school sweetheart. The couple has three
children, Danisha, 7, Venetia, 9, and Terry Jr., 11.

HEADLINE: HIJACK PLOT BARED ON AL QAEDA VIDEO
BYLINE: By HELEN KENNEDY DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU
BODY:
WASHINGTON - Al Qaeda has produced its own grotesque Sept. 11 commemorative video, a film
narrated by Osama Bin Laden showing the hijackers plotting what they called "Holy Tuesday."
In excerpts of the video aired on Al Jazeera TV in Qatar, snapshots of the 19 hijackers' faces appear
superimposed on a landscape of clouds and mountains.
Bin Laden does not appear on the tape, but his voice is heard praising the hijackers for "the conquests of
Washington and New York."
But the tape does not clear up the mystery of whether Bin Laden is dead or alive. It could have been
made anytime after Sept. 11, and experts said the fact that Bin Laden isn't shown bolsters the theory that
he is dead or gravely wounded.
Bin Laden has not been seen since a December video of him squatting in a field.
An Al Jazeera reporter who recently interviewed top Bin Laden aides Ramzi Binalshibh and Khalid
Shaikh Mohammed said they insisted their boss was alive but at one point referred to him in the past
tense.
In that interview, Mohammed and Binalshibh said they began plotting the Sept. 11 attack in early 1999.
The terrorists said they sent four surveillance teams to the United States to scout targets before hijacker
leader Mohamed Atta and his 18 henchmen arrived in mid-2000.
Binalshibh, who wanted to be the 20th hijacker but was refused entry to the U.S., proudly carries a
End 4
suitcase of planning "souvenirs" with him on the lam - including flying manuals, airline guides and
Arnarse
illustrations of "how to perform sudden maneuvers."
He said he has written a 112-page justification of the attacks that he wants entered in the Library of
Congress. He said he hopes the attacks will be the "beginning of the end of America."
Once in the U.S., Atta reported back to Binalshibh in Germany through an Internet chat room. He wrote
in German, pretending to be a student writing to his girlfriend "Jenny."
LEXIS®-NEXIS® View Printable Page

His code words for the targets: "Faculty of Town Planning" for the World Trade Center, "Faculty of Fine
Arts" for the Pentagon and "Faculty of Law" for the U.S. Capitol, which was to have been hit by the
plane that crashed in Pennsylvania.
When Atta passed along the date he'd chosen for the attacks, he called it "two sticks, a dash and a cake
with a stick down" or 11-9, the way the non-American world writes 9/11. Bin Laden's voice Al Jazeera
said the tape produced by Al Qaeda was made in the Afghan city of Kandahar but didn't say when Bin
Laden's voice was added to the mix.
The voice that experts say is Bin Laden's introduces the four ringleaders, as men's voices can be heard
singing Muslim hymns in the background. Bin Laden praises "the men who changed the course of
history and cleansed the [Islamic] nation of the filth of treacherous rulers and their lackeys."
The men single out Atta, "who led the group which destroyed the first tower"; Marwan Al-Shehhi,
"destroyer of the second tower"; Hani Hanjour, "destroyer of the Pentagon," and Ziad Jarrah, who led the
hijackers aboard Flight 93.
"These great men had the deep-rooted faith in the hearts of believers," Bin Laden says.
A second part of the new tape shows hijacker Abdulaziz Alomari reading his last testament to the
cameras.
"May God reward all those who trained me and made possible this glorious act, notably the fighter
Osama Bin Laden, God protect him," he says.
To the United States, he says: "take your fat hands off the land of Arabs and stop supporting Jewish
cowards.
We will get you. We will humiliate you. We will never stop following you."
Oddly, the video shows him against a picture of the Pentagon, although Alomari crashed into the World
Trade Center on Atta's plane.
The last part of the tape shows men in a room full of printers and computer keyboards poring over flying
manuals and maps of Washington - with the Pentagon outlined in red.

Isaiah 49
http://63.151.40.85/revivalfires/is_49.htm
Isaiah 49 (NIV)
1
Listen to me, you islands; hear this, you distant nations: Before I was
born the LORD called me; from my birth he has made mention of my
name.
2
He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of his hand
he hid me; he made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in his
quiver.
3
He said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will display my
splendor."
4
But I said, "I have labored to no purpose; I have spent my strength in
vain and for nothing. Yet what is due me is in the LORD's hand, and my
reward is with my God."
5
And now the LORD says-- he who formed me in the womb to be his
servant to bring Jacob back to him and gather Israel to himself, for I am
honored in the eyes of the LORD and my God has been my strength--
6
he says: "It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the
tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also
make you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring my salvation to the
ends of the earth."
7
This is what the LORD says-- the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel-- to
him who was despised and abhorred by the nation, to the servant of
rulers: "Kings will see you and rise up, princes will see and bow down,
because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has
chosen you."
8
This is what the LORD says: "In the time of my favor I will answer you,
and in the day of salvation I will help you; I will keep you and will make
you to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land and to reassign
its desolate inheritances,
9
to say to the captives, Come out,' and to those in darkness, `Be free!'
"They will feed beside the roads and find pasture on every barren hill.
10
They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun
beat upon them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and
lead them beside springs of water.
11
I will turn all my mountains into roads, and my highways will be raised
up.
12
See, they will come from afar-- some from the north, some from the
west, some from the region of Aswan."
13
Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; burst into song, O mountains!
For the LORD comforts his people and will have compassion on his
afflicted ones.
14
But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me."

Isaiah 49
http://63.151.40.85/revivalfires/is_49.htm
15
"Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on
the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!
16
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever
before me.
17
Your sons hasten back, and those who laid you waste depart from you.
18
Lift up your eyes and look around; all your sons gather and come to you.
As surely as I live," declares the LORD, "you will wear them all as
ornaments; you will put them on, like a bride.
19
"Though you were ruined and made desolate and your land laid waste,
now you will be too small for your people, and those who devoured you
will be far away.
20
The children born during your bereavement will yet say in your hearing,
'This place is too small for us; give us more space to live in.'
21
Then you will say in your heart, 'Who bore me these? I was bereaved
and barren; I was exiled and rejected. Who brought these up? I was left
all alone, but these--where have they come from?"
22
This is what the Sovereign LORD says: "See, I will beckon to the
Gentiles, I will lift up my banner to the peoples; they will bring your sons
in their arms and carry your daughters on their shoulders.
23
Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers.
They will bow down before you with their faces to the ground; they will
lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD; those
who hope in me will not be disappointed."
24
Can plunder be taken from warriors, or captives rescued from the fierce?
25
But this is what the LORD says: "Yes, captives will be taken from
warriors, and plunder retrieved from the fierce; I will contend with those
who contend with you, and your children I will save.
26
I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on
their own blood, as with wine. Then all mankind will know that I, the
LORD, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."

Highlights from the XIV International AIDS Conference
July 31, 2002
"The Demographic Impact of AIDS"
Connie Carrino of USAID introduced the session by noting that the demographic impact
of AIDS was a very hot topic in Barcelona and is expected to remain so after Barcelona.
The USAID-funded U.S. Census Bureau paper "The AIDS Pandemic in the 21st Century"
was released during the conference and was the subject of a USAID press conference.
The Census Bureau started in 1994 to look at demographic trends and indicators such as
life expectancy, one of the key indicators for measuring development progress (which is
USAID's first line of work). The Bureau's first projections in 1994 foresaw terrible
trends, but the international community didn't really believe them. Unfortunately, from
the data we are seeing now, they were right on target, so it is critical that we understand
the impact AIDS is having on individuals, families, communities, and countries.
Impacts on Development. Karen Stanecki of the U.S. Census Bureau, and author of
"The AIDS Pandemic in the 21st Century," began by noting that the numbers contained in
the UNAIDS global HIV/AIDS report, released in the week leading up to the Barcelona,
were again staggering. The number of people with HIV/AIDS is 40 million; people
infected with HIV in 2001, 5 million; AIDS deaths in 2001, 3 million. These numbers
indicate the epidemic is not slowing down but is continuing to grow.
The pandemic continues to have its greatest impact in the developing world. Over 90
percent of people infected with HIV and AIDS live in developing countries. An estimated
70 percent of the global total of HIV-positive people lives in sub-Saharan Africa, which
represents only 11 percent of the global population. Southern and Eastern Africa are the
most severely affected regions. Seven countries - Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, South
Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe - have an estimated adult HIV prevalence
greater than 20 percent.
AIDS mortality is resulting in falling life expectancy, a key indicator of developmental
progress in developing countries. In Botswana, nearly 40 years of life expectancy have
been lost due to AIDS. Without AIDS, life expectancy in Botswana would have been 72
years; it is now estimated to be 33.9. In the sub-Saharan African countries of Angola,
Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, and Zambia, life expectancies are also below 40
years. By 2010 - less than 10 years from now - many countries in Southern Africa will
see life expectancies fall to near 30 years, levels that have not been seen since the end of
the 19th century. In Botswana, life expectancy will fall to 27 by 2010. It will fall to 33 in
Swaziland and 34 in Namibia and Zambia.
Population growth is already negative in Botswana. Several other countries in Southern
Africa have sharply reduced growth rates, including Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, South
Africa, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe. By 2010, Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, South
Africa, and Swaziland will be experiencing negative population growth because of AIDS
mortality. HIV/AIDS is having an impact on population growth in the Caribbean region
also. Although most of Trinidad and Tobago's population loss is due to out-migration,
HIV/AIDS is contributing to increased negative growth.
Infant mortality is another key indicator for progress and development in many countries.
In some sub-Saharan African countries, infant mortality rates are now higher than they
were in 1990. AIDS mortality has reversed the declines in infant mortality rates that
occurred in the 1980s and early '90s. With AIDS, infant mortality in Swaziland and
Zimbabwe is nearly twice as high as it would have been without AIDS. The impact has
been most dramatic in countries where infant morality rates had significantly declined and
where HIV prevalence is high, such as Botswana, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe. By 2010,
more infants will die from AIDS than from any other cause in the poorer countries of sub-
Saharan Africa. In Botswana and Zimbabwe, twice as many infants will die from AIDS
than from all other causes. More infants will also die from AIDS than from all other
causes in South Africa and Namibia.
In 37 sub-Saharan African countries, child mortality has increased over what it would
have been without AIDS. AIDS deaths among children under 5 years of age are resulting
in higher child mortality rates. Again, the impact is highest in those countries that had
significantly reduced child mortality from other causes but have high HIV prevalence
rates. In the absence of prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission, child mortality
rates in 2010 will continue to be significantly higher with AIDS than it would have been
without AIDS. In Botswana, 80 percent of the deaths among children under 5 will be due
to AIDS. More than 120 babies per 1,000 born will die before their first birthday, about
100 of them from AIDS.
At the beginning of the 21 st century, AIDS is the number one cause of death in Africa
and the fourth largest cause globally. Emerging only 20 years ago, few would have
predicted the current state of the epidemic, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. An
epidemic in which more than 30 percent of adults in any country would be living with
HIV/AIDS was unthinkable. Yet this is the current situation in four countries. In seven
sub-Saharan African countries, at least one out of every five adults is living with
HIV/AIDS, and in an additional six countries, one out of 10 adults is living with HIV.
There have been success stories - Thailand, Senegal, Cambodia, Uganda, Zambia - and
these successes can be repeated. However, the current burden of disease, death, and
orphanhood will be a significant problem in many sub-Saharan countries for the
foreseeable future.
Questions and Comments. A question following the presentation addressed the shape of
the population pyramid that will result from these trends by 2010. There will dramatic
changes in population structure. Many deaths in the adult age group will create a
"chimney-type" pyramid, with a lot of missing adults in the middle years, compared with
the traditional pyramid.

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all very much. Thank you all so very much for that warm welcome. It's such an honor to be here. Especially
to be traveling today with a great First Lady, Laura Bush. (Applause.) We really appreciate your welcome and we're proud to be with the M

For more than 60 years, Marines have gone forth from Camp Lejeune to fight our country's battles. Now America has entered a fierce stru

for your sacrifice. And Laura and I are here to thank each one of you. (Applause.)
Why We Know Iraq is Lying
We're here to thank the Marines. (Applause.) I also want to thank the men and women of
the Marine Forces Reserve who are serving here and abroad. (Applause.) Hundreds of
reserve units across America have been activated in this time of war, and our country
thanks these fine citizens and their employers for putting duty first.
I want to thank Major General David Mize for his hospitality and his leadership. I want to
thank Major General John Castelaw, Commanding General of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary
Force, for his leadership and strength. (Applause.) I appreciate so very much members of
the North Carolina congressional delegation who traveled with Laura and me today --
Senators Edwards and Dole, from the great state of North Carolina, thank you for coming.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: Yeah!

life better. She runs a Mom-to-Mom program to help people who may need help. Laura Kay represents the best of America, somebody wt
willing to love a neighbor just like she'd like to be loved herself.
I want to thank Laura Kay. I want to thank the thousands of you who are here who understand we can save somebody's life by showing th
We can help somebody who hurts by hugging a neighbor in need. (Applause.)
All around Camp Lejeune are monuments to the heroic achievements of the United States Marines. In the 14 days since the major ground
began, the Marine Corps has added new achievements to its great story. (Applause.)
On the first day of the campaign, Marine units were ordered to secure 600 Iraqi oil wells and prevent environmental disaster. And that mis
accomplished. (Applause.) U.S. Marines and our Royal Marine allies were sent in to take the AI Faw Peninsula and clear a path for humar
aid, and that job was done. (Applause.)
In the tough fighting at AI Nasiriyah, Marines continue to push back the enemy, and are showing the unrelenting courage worthy of the na
Force Tarawa. (Applause.) Two nights ago, Marines and Special Operations forces set out on a daring rescue mission -- and thanks to the
and courage, a brave young soldier is now free. (Applause.)
These missions are difficult and they are dangerous, but no one becomes a Marine
because it's easy. (Applause.) Now our coalition moves forward. Marines are in the thick of
the battle. And what we have begun, we will finish. (Applause.)
The United States and our allies pledged to act if the dictator did not disarm. The regime in
Iraq is now learning that we keep our word. (Applause.) By our actions, we serve a great
and just cause: We will remove weapons of mass destruction from the hands of mass
murderers. Free nations will not sit and wait, leaving enemies free to plot another
September the 11th, this time, perhaps with chemical or biological or nuclear terror. And by
defending our own security, we are freeing the people of Iraq from one of the cruelest
regimes on Earth. (Applause.)
At this hour, coalition forces are clearing southern cities and towns of the dictator's death
squads and enforcers. Our Special Forces and Army paratroopers, working with Kurdish
militia, have opened a northern front against the enemy. Army and Marine divisions are engaging the enemy and advancing to the outskirl
Baghdad. (Applause.)
From the skies above, coalition aircraft and Cruise missiles are removing hundreds of military targets from Iraq. A vice is closing, and the
brutal regime are coming to an end. (Applause.)
Some servants of the regime have chosen to fill their final days with acts of cowardice and murder. In combat, Saddam's thugs shield ther
with women and children. They have killed Iraqi citizens who welcome coalition troops. They force other Iraqis into battle, by threatening t
or kill their families. They've executed prisoners of war. They've waged attacks under the white flag of truce. They concealed combat force
civilian neighborhoods and schools and hospitals and mosques.
In this war, the Iraqi regime is doing -- is terrorizing its own citizens, doing everything
possible to maximize Iraqi civilian casualties, and then to exploit the deaths they've caused
for propaganda. These are war criminals and they will be treated like war criminals.
(Applause.)
In stark contrast, the citizens of Iraq are coming to know what kind of people we have sent
to liberate them. American forces and our allies are treating innocent civilians with kindness,
and showing proper respect to soldiers who surrender. Many Americans have seen the
picture of Marine Lance Corporal Marcco Ware carrying a wounded Iraqi soldier on his
shoulders to safety, for medical treatment. That's the picture of the strength and goodness
of the U.S. Marines. (Applause.) That is a picture of America. (Applause.) People in the
United States are proud of the honorable conduct of our military, and I'm proud to lead such
brave and decent Americans. (Applause.)
I'm also proud that coalition victories are bringing food and water and medicine to the Iraqi people. Our coalition partners have constructe
pipeline to bring clean water to Umm Qasr. We're delivering emergency rations to the hungry. Right now, ships carrying enough American
feed millions are bound for Iraq. We're bringing aid, and we're bringing something more -- we're bringing hope. (Applause.)
A man in one Iraqi village said this to one of our soldiers: "I want my freedom. I don't want

Our fighting forces will press on until your entire country is free. (Applause.)

our help. Today the goal is to remove the Iraqi regime and to rid Iraq of weapons of mass destruction. And that is the task of the United St
military and our coalition.
All who serve in this mission can know this: Your fellow citizens are behind you and our government will give you every tool you need for 1
(Applause.)
People of this country take pride in your victories, and we share in your losses. Camp Lejeune has lost some good Marines. Every person
in the line of duty leaves a family that lives in grief. Every Marine who dies in the line of duty leaves comrades who mourn their loss.
There is a tradition in the Corps that no one who falls will be left behind on the battlefield. (Applause.) Our country has a tradition, as well.
who falls will be forgotten by this grateful nation. We honor their service to America and we pray their families will receive God's comfort a
grace. (Applause.)
These are sacrifices in a high calling -- the defense of our nation and the peace of the world.
Overcoming evil is the noblest cause and the hardest work. And the liberation of millions is
the fulfillment of America's founding promise. The objectives we've set in this war are worthy
of America, worthy of all the acts of heroism and generosity that have come before.
Once again, we are applying the power of our country to ensure our security and to serve
the cause of justice. And we will prevail. (Applause.)
Our Armed Services have performed brilliantly in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Moving a
massive force over 200 miles of enemy territory in a matter of days is a superb
achievement. Yet there is work ahead for our coalition, for the American Armed Forces, and
for the United States Marines. Having traveled hundreds of miles, we will now go the last
200 yards. (Applause.) The course is set. We're on the advance. Our destination is
Baghdad, and we will accept nothing less than complete and final victory. (Applause.)
May God bless our country and all who defend her. Semper fi. (Applause.)

"This time of war should weight very heavily on us because of who
we are - disciples of Jesus Christ."
He told the congregation to take a break from watching war
coverage on television and reflect on peace.
"Destruction is not entertainment," he said. "Real people need
support, compassion and prayer."
The Rev. Maurice Morin, pastor at Notre Dame de Lourdes Roman

"We took a moment of silence at the very beginning of the homily

He said he planned to do the same on Sunday.
Morin said the message from Scripture that was delivered this

Military service does much the same thing, he said.
"In our service, men and women are willing to give their lives, not

Town Hall Meeting with Troops
Page 1 of 5
Town Hall Meeting with Troops
Presenters: Sec Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense, General
April 28, 2003
Tommy Franks, Commander, CENTCOM
GEN. FRANKS: Thanks a lot. Well, about six weeks ago, the Secretary of Defense outlined military objectives, as a
matter of fact, he outlined eight of them for Operation Iraqi Freedom. Today the coalition has achieved a great many
of these objectives, and the people in Iraq have begun a transition to independence. On this very day, a large and
diverse group of Iraqis having a meeting we call it the "big tent" meeting -- in Baghdad to discuss their future
government. To be sure, the Iraqis will have a new government; it will be a government of their choosing. Because
of all of you, and because of every member of this coalition, Iraqis today are able to raise their voices in debate
without fear of torture or death.
Now, that meeting today represents just a single example of a new spirit, a spirit of hope, freedom, optimism, and a
celebration that's being witnessed across Iraq and around the world. Iraqis are working with the coalition, as we
speak, to help restore basic services to their cities and neighborhoods; services like clean drinking water, services
like electricity, security, health care, food assistance for those in need. In fact, because of your hard work, many
Iraqis already have more food, more water, more security, more electricity and better medical care than they had six
weeks ago. You know, it was that regime that used hunger and the basic needs of people as tools by way of fear to
control Iraq.
Now, to be sure, there is a great deal of work left to be done. But also to be sure, the Iraqi regime is no longer in
power. (Cheers, applause.) And the Iraqi people are on their way to the blessings of liberty. (Applause.)
Now, throughout this operation, coalition forces have been fortunate to have civilian leadership that sets clear
objectives and then empowers commanders and all of us in the field to achieve the objectives that I described a
minute ago.
Mr. Secretary, on behalf of all of us, every coalition soldier, sailor, airman, Marine, Coast Guardsman, contractor,
DOD civil servant, thank you, sir, for your leadership. (Cheers, applause.)
Thank you for giving our forces the support, the guidance, the leadership, the tools that we need to win. And, Mr.
Secretary, thank you for being here with all of us today.
Secretary Don Rumsfeld has had many titles: wrestler -- (laughter); pilot -- (cheers); pilot -- (cheers); congressman,
chief of staff, Secretary of Defense, businessman, and secretary of Defense. As for me, I just call him, "Boss."
Ladies and gentlemen, the Secretary of Defense of the United States of America, Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
(Cheers, applause.)
SEC. RUMSFELD: Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you so much for that wonderful, wonderful welcome.
General Franks, you and your outstanding team have done a truly superb job, for our troops, for our nation, for this
region, and indeed, for the world. What this team, all of you, has accomplished will certainly go down in the history
books. You and Mike DeLong, John Abizaid, General Moseley, General McKiernan, Admiral Keating, Del Dailey,
Gary Harrel, General Hailston have been privileged to lead what is without question the best trained, the best
equipped, and the finest troops on the face of the earth. (Cheers, applause.)
It's a privilege for me to be able to be here and say thank you to that leadership team, but also to be able to say thank
you to each of you personally for the extraordinary efforts that you've put in to this enormously important task over
these past months. I know you've worked long hours, under considerable pressure, often in difficult circumstances,
and I know it's not been easy, but think what's been accomplished. You have helped rescue a nation and liberate a
people. You have driven a repressive regime from power, ended a threat to free people everywhere. You've
protected a country, our country, from a gathering danger, and given the Iraqi people a chance to build a free nation
and to live normal lives.

Town Hall Meeting with Troops

Think of the scenes we've all witnessed of free Iraqis pulling down statues of Saddam Hussein, embracing coalition
forces, celebrating their new-found freedom. They will certainly take their place alongside the fall of the Berlin
Wall, the liberation of Paris, and each of you helped make that happen. (Shouts, applause.) And you can be very
proud of it.
While the Iraqi regime was waiting for General Franks to launch the air war, hundreds of Special Operations forces
poured into all regions of the country, securing airfields, attacking terrorist facilities and regime targets, taking out
the regime's capability to launch missiles and attacks against neighboring countries. They were followed by a large
force rolling across the Kuwait border. Instead of working their way north to Baghdad, with long pauses and pitched
battles for each city along the way, they pressed through southern Iraq in less than a week, leaving follow-on forces
to secure the cities they passed as they raced for the capital, supported by outstanding air-ground coordination.
Notwithstanding death squads and dust storms, they reached the gates of Baghdad in less than two weeks. And by
the time they were ready to take the city, they had decimated Iraq's command and control, and the Republican
Guard divisions ringing Baghdad, with unquestionably the most powerful and precise air campaign in the history of
warfare, using capabilities so discreet that coalition air crews could take out a tank hiding under a bridge without
damaging the bridge.
Baghdad was liberated in less than a month, possibly the fastest march on a capital in modern military history. The
war was remarkable not only for the speed and skill with which it happened, but also for what did not happen
because of that speed and because of the design of the plan and the brilliant execution. You prevented the Iraqi
regime from attacking its neighbors with missiles. You've secured the vast majority of Iraq's oil fields, and key
bridges, roads and rail lines before they could be destroyed by the regime. Many had been wired for destruction but
never detonated. Either the Iraqis responsible for pulling the trigger heard the message in the coalition leaflets and
broadcasts and heeded the warnings, or else the coalition advance was so rapid and unexpected that they did not
have time: We may never know the answer.
But we do know the result. The infrastructure of Iraq is largely intact, and an environmental disaster was averted.
The dams were not broken. The villages were not flooded. There were no large masses of refugees fleeing across
borders into neighboring countries as the result of a sustained air campaign that affected civilian lives. And there
have not been large numbers of civilian casualties because the coalition took such great care to protect the lives of
innocent civilians as well as holy sites. It's a remarkable achievement.
The plan was adaptable and flexible, and you folks were able to turn difficulties into opportunities. For example,
Turkey's decision to not allow coalition forces to enter Iraq from the north was disappointing, to be sure, but that
disappointment eventually was turned to our advantage. Instead of bringing the 4th Infantry Division ships out of
the Mediterranean, even though we had given up hope of bringing them through Turkey, they were kept there by
General Franks, creating the impression in Baghdad, we're sure, that the attack would not start until the coalition
could open a northern front. This contributed to the surprise of the Iraqi regime when the war began without those
forces.
When the dust is settled in Iraq, military historians will study this war. They'll examine the unprecedented
combination of power, precision, speed, flexibility and, I would add also, compassion that was employed. This
much is certain: From this experience, our experience in Afghanistan as well, we're learning lessons that will affect
how the United States of America, how the Department of Defense and the services will organize, will train and will
equip, lessons that will impact budgets and procedures, training and doctrine, and affect the future success of our
country for many years to come.
So let there be no doubt. With the liberation of Iraq, you have transformed the country, but how you did it will help
transform how we defend our country in the 21st century.. Each of you played an important role -- Army, Navy, Air
Force, Marines -- (shouts) -- and the Coast Guard -- (laughter) -- and, I would add, the civilian employees and the
contractors, many of whom, I'm sure, are here. You can take great pride in that accomplishment, the skill with
which you planned it, the tenacity with which you fought it and the humanity with which you prosecuted it. You've
accomplished a great deal, but we still have a good deal to do, let there be no doubt.
We're grateful for your service, and we're also grateful to your families. They worry about you, I know, and they
endure long separations. They also serve our country in that way, and they serve the cause of freedom. So we're
grateful and proud of them. (Cheers, extended applause.) And the American people are proud of you and grateful to
each of you as well.

So may God bless you all. And thank you very much.
(Applause.)
Now! Now you have a chance to ask questions of me. Or General Franks. (Laughter.) Or both of us. Or each of us.
Are there mikes around? There are mikes? Good. Here's a hand. I'll answer easy ones. (Laughter.) Tommy will
answer the tough ones.
Q
Good morning, Mr. Secretary.
SEC. RUMSFELD: You're not on.
Q I'm Major --
SEC. RUMSFELD: There he is. It is on. (Laughter.) Now it's on.
Q Good morning, Mr. Secretary and General Franks. I'm Major Perry Anton (sp), 502nd, from Los Alamitos, California.
I've got two questions for you.
SEC. RUMSFELD: You should be in the press. (Laughter.) You'll probably have three follow-ups, too. (Laughter.)
Q Sir -- (inaudible) -- be prepared. (Laughter.)
SEC. RUMSFELD: All right.
Q In light of the significant roles of Reserves, and given the increase of the reliance on Reserve forces, what is your
position on lowering the Reserve retirement age? (Shouts, cheers, applause.)
SEC. RUMSFELD: I mean, how the hell can you ask a 70-year old to lower the retirement age? (Laughter, applause.)
No, let's have a different question! Someone else! (Applause.) Where's the mikes?! (Laughter.)
GEN. FRANKS (?): Next question! (Laughter.)
SEC. RUMSFELD: Here's one right here. It's coming behind you. There we go.
Q Mr. Secretary -- (off mike) --
GEN. FRANKS (?): Hold up for the mike.
SEC. RUMSFELD: There you go.
Q Mr. Secretary -- (off mike) --
SEC. RUMSFELD: Your mike's not on. Don't yell, now. (Laughter.)
Q
Mr. Secretary -- (off mike). You talk about the vision for the 21st century. How would you portray that to us here, who
are going to be going into the 21st century defending our country?
SEC. RUMSFELD: Well, when you think about it, the Department of Defense has historically been organized to be able
to deter and defend against armies and navies and air forces. And what we're finding is a world where the weapons
are increasingly more powerful, capable of killing not just hundreds or thousands, but tens of thousands, when one
thinks of biological attacks and chemical and nuclear attacks.
http://www.centcom.mil/CENTCOMNews/transcripts/20030420.htm
4/29/2003
Town Hall Meeting with Troops
Page 4 of 5
So the task we have is a quite different one in the 21st century. It's not conventional, it's unconventional. It is a task
that will require us to seek out and defend against and prevent the attacks from terrorists and terrorist networks. And
there are many several terrorist networks that represent global threats to us. And they have close relationships
with terrorist states, and the terrorist states have, increasingly, capabilities in weapons of mass destruction.
So our task is to see that we are increasingly joint as a department and less service-centric, and that we do a much
better job, the kind of job that was done here by this wonderful team in seeing that we had capabilities, regardless of
which service they came from, and were able to seek out and attack threats and dangers that existed.
So I think that what we're going to have to do is to take the kinds of lessons that are learned here, in what's just
taken place in Afghanistan and in Iraq, and see that we do bring those lessons to the department as a whole and that
we bring them to the services at an early enough stage so that we can find a that we've organized and we've
trained and we've equipped for the kind of world we're living in. And I think that we've got a good start on that. I'm
hopeful. I'm optimistic.
Right back there.
I would add one thing. We're perfectly capable of living in this world. We need not be afraid. We can do it. (Shouts,
applause.)
It may be a dangerous world, and it may be an untidy world, but our country and our friends and allies are going to
be able to preserve our way of life, still can continue as free people, not climb into holes and hide from others.
We're going to be able to do that because we've got the ability and we have the kinds of capabilities that will enable
us to do that.
Where did that mike go? Right there? Good.
Q Yes, sir. I'm Craig Cole (sp) of the United States Air Force. One simple question for you and General Franks.
SEC. RUMSFELD: I'll decide if it's simple. (Laughter.)
Q How do I get a picture with you and General Franks, sir? (Laughter.)
SEC. RUMSFELD: Well, I can speak for Rumsfeld, and you come right up here afterwards, and we'll do it. I can't speak
for Tommy. He's -- (laughter.)
Q Thank you, sir.
SEC. RUMSFELD: He'll be there.
Okay. It was suggested I take one more question. I'd like to take two more questions. There's one, and there's one.
Yes, right here.
STAFF: I think the microphone's over here, Mr. Secretary.
SEC. RUMSFELD: Where are you?
STAFF: Right here.
SEC. RUMSFELD: Good.
(Cross talk.)
Q Hi, Mr. Secretary. I'm Sergeant Cramer (ph) from the 502nd (Transit ?), and I was just curious to know whether or not
you've been bombarded with apologetic phonecalls from your critics who had perceived a doom and gloom
scenario.

(Applause; cheers.)
SEC. RUMSFELD: My answer's off the record. (Laughter.) There were a lot of hand-wringers around, weren't there?
(Laughter; applause.) You know, during World War II, I think Winston Churchill was talking about the Battle of
Britain, and he said, "Never have so many owed so much to so few." A humorist in Washington the other day sent
me a note paraphrasing that, and he said, "Never have so many been so wrong about so much." (Laughter;
applause.) But I would never say that. (Laughter.)
The last question.
Q Mr. Secretary, in the days leading up to the --
SEC. RUMSFELD: Where are you? Raise your hand. I can't --
Q Right here.
SEC. RUMSFELD: There you are. Okay.
Q In the days leading up to the ground assault, I have to admit that it was kind of scary for me personally. What was the
hardest leadership decision that you had to make in the beginning of this campaign?
SEC. RUMSFELD: Well, I'll tell you the best decision I made was asking General Tommy Franks. (Cheers; applause.)
Thank you very much.
(Applause.)

through open fighting. But the rub with the present conflict -
now on show to the world through instantaneous global
communications - is to use enough force to shatter resistance,
but not too much to lose international political support though the
sheer display of lethality. Thus the surreal scene of barbers on
Day Three in Baghdad scoffing to their customers of "air" bombs
and a weak air campaign even as Western reporters were likening
the shock-and-awe campaign to Dresden and Hamburg. In truth,
the decision to forego a long bombing campaign to save the
infrastructure of Iraq and preempt the nihilism of Saddam was
courageous and astute - - and should be at last recognized as what
http://www.nationalreview.com/hanson/hanson041103.asp
4/29/2003

it is: as daring as Eisenhower's call to hit the stormy beaches of
Normandy.
Saddam's Iraqis slammed rockets into American installations,
blew up two journalists, and the world was silent. In contrast, our
troops on the ground fired back at shooters in a hotel where
Baathist functionaries were embedded among reporters, tragically
killed three journalists, and the globe was afire in indignation.
American teenagers inside tanks (no doubt glued to CNN video
consuls) who were targets were apparently supposed to die rather
than dare to endanger a crowd of elite journalists at Ground Zero
of a war, with full knowledge that they were being housed and
used by fascists - as if Patton's tankers would have not fired
back at shooters in a hotel in Vichy France because Nazis had
allowed a UPI or AP correspondent on the verandah. Baghdad
Bob assured the inhabitants of the Arab world that there was not
an American in sight; later that same night Larry King hosted a
panel of silly journalists and ex-generals who discussed such
competing discourses and alternative "truths" - and meanwhile
the subjective construct of American tanks rolled through the
city, oblivious to both Middle Eastern mythmaking and
hackneyed postmodern analysis.
The military itself suffers from another inescapable paradox. Its
very success allows the engine of freedom and capitalism to
create an enormously affluent and sometimes smug class that
forgets how and why its comfort is maintained in the present and
ensured for the future. I think Messrs. Cheney, Rumsfeld, and
Wolfowitz, when this is all over, will have done a great favor to
millions of Iraqis and provided Americans increased security, but
I don't expect that they will win any popularity contests for all
their efforts. Don't expect that Walter Cronkite, Arthur
Schlesinger, David Halberstam, Susan Sontag, and a host of
others who predicted a nightmarish "hornet's nest" and American
diplomatic catastrophe in Iraq to admit their error. More likely,
such critics will commit a trifecta of hubris and misjudgment by
predicting further endless terror to complement their past gloomy
prognostications about the Taliban and Saddamites.
In addition, diplomats and apostles of peace are now likely to
come to the fore and be praised when memory of smoke and iron
fades; their talk will so reassure us that we will forget the
grimmer men who allowed us such luxury. So, for example, the
shameless Dominique de Villepin hogged the world's news
before the war, did nothing during it, and now he's back again -
when he sniffs the danger is past and money is to be made, it is
once more time for slick talk and the waving of arms. That
American and British women fought live enemies courageously
while some Frenchmen attacked the graves of dead friends seems
to have escaped him.

Page 4 of 5
Imagine a pontificating U.N. functionary, fresh from the Balkan
holocaust, in postbellum Iraq, trying to investigate Baathist
murderers and torturers: "One could argue that the level of
evidence necessary to indict such a Baathist suspect does not
meet the criteria of the International Criminal Court - and one
might argue that he may not necessarily be as responsible for the
carnage inflicted by, say, an F-16 pilot." Do we really want a
year of that dreamlike nonsense or the U.N.'s undemocratic
countries and their apparatchiks obstructing the creation of
democracy in a new Iraq?
In this regard, Arab intellectuals - did you see their angst at
scenes of Iraqi jubilation? - carry a terrible burden. For years
they have admirably called for indigenous democratic reform.
But no Arab masses have recently risen up like the generation of
1776 to insist on popular constitutional government. In response,
they blame cynical American Cold War era support of Arab
strongmen in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt, or Jordan. But even if
we forget that the worst Arab tyrants, such as Nasser, Qaddafi,
and Saddam, were homegrown, the United States is at last
removing an ogre with the blood of a million Muslims on his
hands and is determined to implant democracy upon his demise.
So a dilemma faces the Arab elite - if the price of liberation is
the intrusion of U.S. arms, would they prefer that Iraqi Muslims
instead remain enslaved? Perhaps we should resurrect Saddam's
statues or suggest that throngs in Baghdad suffer from delusions
of grandeur?
Finally, obvious contrasts arise with Gulf Wars I and II.
Ostensibly Saddam's earlier army was more formidable and thus
made the first conflict more challenging. But in retrospect, the
present ordeal by any fair measure is the far more ambitious and
audacious campaign. Eradicating fascism is not the same as
expelling an army from Kuwait. Targeting a quarter-million
killers from a population of 26 million - while trying to avoid
damage to innocents and enemy sanctuaries in mosques, schools,
hotels, and hospitals - sounds nearly impossible. Twelve years
ago we had the patina of U.N. support, plentiful allies, more
troops, and a limited mission; now we are trying to take an entire
country with half the old forces and alone with the British and
Australians.
Moreover, much has transpired since 1991. Then the Soviet
Union was not entirely gone, and our allies still worried about
breaking ranks from our nuclear shield. Now, with the fear of an
invasion of Europe a distant memory, this present war has offered
the perfect occasion for many of our NATO allies to showcase
longstanding resentments and jealousies. In response, we
shrugged and reached Baghdad in half the time, so far with half
the American total casualties it took to get to Kuwait.

We have no idea of the nature of eventual peace settlements, but
already the roll into Baghdad as an act of liberation and a military
masterpiece will rank along with Epaminondas's trek to free the
helots, Sherman's March, and Patton's long race to the German
border. Meanwhile, everyone seems either to have criticized or
belatedly praised "the plan"; but so far no one seems to quite
know how 250,000 brave American, British, and Australian
young men and women in the field are actually pulling it off.

HEADLINE: Awaiting word from front lines
Thousands of USS Abraham Lincoln crew members left behind loved ones who have been increasingly
anxious and sleepless since the war started.
BYLINE: Rachel Tuinstra; Times Snohomish County bureau
BODY:
Sleepless nights of watching the news on TV and making hundreds of patriotic ribbons that's how Sayeh
Azarpay has gotten by since war broke out.
Azarpay, 23, was supposed to get married this Saturday, but her wedding dress remains in her hallway
closet. Her fiance, Petty Officer 3rd Class Jay Ellis, 29, is among the thousands of crew members aboard
the USS Abraham Lincoln, which was diverted to the Persian Gulf when it had nearly completed a
six-month tour.
"I can't shut my brain off from thinking about the war, thinking about Jay, wondering if I'll have to delay
the wedding again," Azarpay said. "There's no countdown; we don't know when he's coming home. I
don't want to watch the news, but I do watch it because I have to know what's going on."
Azarpay is among thousands in Snohomish County who are anxiously awaiting news from their loved
ones on the war's front lines. Some say they find themselves restless, anxious and often sleepless in the
days since the war started. Some say they have become addicted to televised accounts of the war; others
soak up information from radio, the Internet and newspapers.
They write letters, send packages and await phone calls. But those left behind say fear and concern for
their loved ones never leave them.
Dode Hutchison often awakens, startled, in the middle of the night with an image of her daughter, 1st Lt.
Faye Hutchison, in her Marine uniform. It's hard for Hutchison to fathom that her 24-year-old daughter is
on a convoy toward Baghdad.
"When that happens, I'm wondering, is my daughter safe? Has there been a tragedy?" said Hutchison, of
Snohomish. "I'm worried what I'm waking up to, and I turn on the TV. I have this dull ache in my
stomach."
Hutchison has talked to her daughter only a handful of times since she landed in Kuwait in late January.
It was painful to hear the exhaustion in her voice, Hutchison said.

"Her words were slurring. She said Tm so tired,' and made a comment like T've seen SO many things, I'm
not sure that I can ever be the same,' Hutchison said. "I think being a mom, it's hard. I know her
strengths, I know her weaknesses. But she's a Marine, she's a female, she's a first lieutenant. I want to
hold her and hug her and tell her to let it all out. But she holds back. She has to be strong."
Although phone calls have been spotty, Hutchison and her husband, Rod, receive letters from Faye, all
written on the back of cardboard boxes from meals-ready-to-eat (MRE) rations.
"She calls them her MRE postcards at least she keeps her sense of humor," Hutchison said. "I save
everything, all the letters, all the e-mails."
Henriette Anne Klauser of Edmonds has been keeping a daily journal that she pulls out to write letters to
her daughter, Lt. j.g. Emily Klauser, aboard the Lincoln. Henriette Klauser clips newspaper articles and
sends e-mails to keep her daughter in her daily life as much as possible.
"I go through my day looking for tidbits to share That way I can be thinking of her all day," Klauser
said.
But nothing replaces hearing Emily's voice on the phone, Klauser said.
"When you're on the phone, as wonderful as it is, you feel so lonely when the click goes and she hangs
up," Klauser said. "You can't call back."
Klauser bought a book of 50 stamps when the Lincoln left in July. She thought she wouldn't have time to
use them all up before her daughter came home. But now she's down to the last 15.
"I know there's no (return) date, but watching those stamps disappear, I know she's closer to coming
home," Klauser said. "She's been out there a long time."
The Lincoln has been deployed 255 days, just shy of the 259-day deployment by the USS Nimitz, which
the Navy believes is the longest since World War II. The Lincoln is also well on its way to breaking the
overall Navy record of 289 days for the longest deployment.
That's one record Ellis, who is engaged to Azarpay, said he could do without.
"I have to say, day after day on the boat is getting to me at times," Ellis wrote to a reporter by e-mail. "It
has been such a long time since we ported, and it is hard to remain focused. Daily life does not change
much. I grow tired of the meals here and the routines of my workday."
He wrote that the support of his family and loved ones has helped.
"Sayeh and I are doing really well considering the length of time I have been away. Nothing in my heart
or mind has changed about her."
