US military commander Franks heads for Gulf region

-"We don't have a return date as of yet." 

 
WASHINGTON, March 10 (Reuters) - U.S. Army Gen. Tommy
Franks, the man who would lead any invasion of Iraq,
departed for the Gulf region on Monday as
international tension mounted over a possible war with
Baghdad.

Defense officials told Reuters that the head of the
U.S. Central Command was flying from Tampa, Florida,
to visit several countries in the region and to meet
leaders and American troops before going to Qatar,
where the command has set up a regional battle
headquarters.

The officials refused to say how long Franks might
remain in Qatar, but the general has said he intended
to preside over any conflict from that high-tech
command headquarters at Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar.

"We don't have a return date as of yet," one of the
officials told Reuters.
