America Putting Spurs on Preparation of War against Iraq.

While debates on attacking Iraq were on going in America, the BBC of Britain reported on the 7th that the preparation of war against Iraq by the US government is at full scale.

The BBC said that the US Army expanded runways at the Al Dueid Air Force Base and munitions storages, and they actually finished to change into the war structure. Therefore the Al Dueid Air Base is predicted to be able to substitute the unusable Prince Sultan Saudi Air Force Base in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia announced on the 7th that they were opposed to let America attack Iraq using their air base.

And there was a massive expansion and arrangement of equipment at a secret base in southern Kuwait and a NATO air base in Insiriq, Turkey. In addition, the special unit, which was put into action during the Afghanistan War, and the US Army Reserve are known to be called.

The US President George W. Bush raised the pressure level against the Iraqi President Sadam Hussein by warning that the President Hussein would acquire nuclear weapons in near future.

The President Hussein emphasized the establishment of war structure against America during his speech to the people that was broadcasted on TV on the 8th (local time), “We will not give up the military threat of America.”
