*** Iraqi Time is Sat 26, 00:30, Israel is one hour behind. {/o{ test to see if infoserver is echoing messages to group +war. well all this info is probably old. The iraqis caused an oil spill 8-10 miles long and a couple miles wide. It's 12 times the size of that caused by the exxon valdeez. It's not known if wells are actively pumping into the gulf right now, or if they just dumped stored reserves. If they're pumping at max capacity, it'll get bigger by a factor every 3 days. in other words it will be 13 times the size of the exxon valdeez in 3 days, 14 in 6, 15 in 9. (I realize I said that wrong). That's a worst case. It's not possible to overstate how concerned Bush seemed by this. I think he aged a few years last night. the spill is not military significant, but ecologically its a nightmare of course. There is some concern about water problems, the oil might threaten desalination plants. Yesterday the weather was much better over iraq, so they set a record for the # of sorties in a single day. 2700 I think. they launched 2 missiles at saudi arabia today, and 7 at israel. (scuds). One hit in israel, lightly wounding a bunch of people, killing 1. 1 person died in saudi. Patriots knocked out a whole bunch of them. I just heard from Cheneys mouth that Bush has something planned to deal with the oil spill. --mcneil lehrer (NPR) Iraqi is pumping oil from the Kuwati "Sea Island terminal" at the rate of 100,000 barrels per day. Esimated that it has been flowing for 3 days. (NPR) 3,000 Palestinians in Jordan marched today, urging Saddam to use chemical weapons on Israel. Survey conducted on Wendsday in Israel: How would you rate your morale ? Very H 8; High 14; OK 52; Low 17; Very L 11. Should I. srael retaliate ? Yes 15; No 76. Is non-retaliaition a sign of weakness or strength ? Weakness 13; Strength 82. Is PM Shamir s. tanding up to leadership test ? Yes 90; No 7. Are the US stafs operateing the Pats hurting national pride ? Yes 1; No 91. Ther. e were some Qs, but they are of less intrest to the net. Conducted by 'Dakhaf' for 'Yediot Akhronot'. m better than Jennifer? I don't know if you heard this already. Some scud flew at saudi arabia just now. (yes another). A patriot went up to intercept it but they don't know if it hit yet. president Bush called for an end to arab american discrimination today. {/p wumpus You seem pretty smitten yourself. test.

NBC: 1 incedent so far... NBC: (I am not sure if it was on Riad) Israeli TV shows some missiles in air NBC: Israel under missle attack patriots.. there were some loud booms in the Haifa area NBC: Riad, all clear. NBC: didn't see any Patriot launch. NBC: Patriot launched in north Israel. NBC: Patriot brobably hit the Scud. (NBC last msg refered to Riad..)

Israel Radio: All wear masks everyone wear masks again. alarm alarm.. Recap: Israel was alarmed twice between 22:00 and 22:25 against a missile attack. A FEW SCUDS _WERE_ LAUNCHED TO ISRAEL. Ashdod till Jerusalem - all-clear South Israel is in all-clear meaning the south half of Israel SCUD in north was hit by pat. Some broken glasses (Reporting Pentagon briefing carried live on AFN Germany). (Spokesman Pete Williams). "Iraq continues to dump oil". "Part of the oil slick is on fire, smoke blowing east into Iran" IDF spokeman: north - ako northern may remove masks. (all north except haifa) Haifa is still in alert state Ok, Nati will keep updating you from Israel. gotta go. (Now General Brandtner speaking) All of Israel can remove gas masks. All of Israel can remove masks. Tel-Aviv and Haifa to stay in sealed room... Brandtner: US did not hit religious sites All clear in Israel. So far no injuries Brandtner: Significantly more oil on shore than has been put to sea. Brandtner: Latest info is fire is getting smaller. McConnell: approx 2 dozen aircraft gone into Iran, maybe more. McConnell: at least a dozen fighters, at least a dozen transport aircraft. (that is Iraqi aircraft). Brandtner: Tactically difficult to deal with Scud launchers. Brandtner: Iraq aircraft going into Iran did not seem to be in distress. Brandtner: Unclear if aircraft are defecting or preserving resources ORF: 3 scuds to Haifa, 1 to Tel Aviv. It is said that all scuds were hit by patriots, but maybe not fully destroyed. Israel Radio: summary: All clear now Brandtner: Iranian airspace is not violated by US. (End of Pentagon briefing) I have some news you probably already heard. 2 dozen iraqi aircraft fled to Iran(!). The Iranian amb. said the planes would be impounded. I think about 4 scuds flew at israel earlier today. A whole mess of patriots went up to meet them. Israel claims no damage or casualties, but they might be lying. 2 scuds flew at saudi arabia today too, and both of them aparently were hit by patriots. One landed anyway and damaged a parking lot. Test of forward contributions I know of so far for desert shield include Kuwait (13.5 billion), Japan (9 billion), Saudi Arabia (13.5 billion) and germany (1 billion). Germany might give more soon. The US is trying to get enough contributions so that it only has to. pay 9 billion itself. (9 billion is 20% of congressional estimates on desert storm costs). were my messages about various countries contributions to desert storm costs read by people in both +war and +report? I'm trying something different. I should have pointed out that those estimates and contribution levels assume the war will not last longer than 3 months. This just in: Generalissimo Francisco Franco, STILL DEAD! (Weekend Update) ABC Australia- 2 Arab Israelis injured by latest attack on Haifa.
