> there have been several instances of the Iraqis firing at U.S. and British

> For the last several years a strange sort of ballet had been worked out.
> U.S. planes patrolled the no-fly zones over Iraq. If Iraqi air defenses
> targeted them, usually by turning on their radars, the planes would
> respond by bombing those facilities. But, in the last six months or so,
> there has been a change. Rather than bombing the site that engaged them,
> the planes began to bomb other facilities, facilities that in some cases
> were some distance away. What this began to look like was the very early
> beginnings of a bombing campaign. This situation gave the U.S. the
> opportunity to take out certain facilities that would need to be destroyed
> in order to make a larger air campaign safer. The Iraqis would
> occasionally fire at the planes, but those incidents have increased in the
> last couple of days.

> While this undeclared conflict, I guess it's not quite a war yet, is
> playing out every day, the U.S. is making a series of moves to get ready
> for the full-scale war that is a very real possibility. Lining up allies,
> arranging for bases or the right to over-fly other countries, moving men
> and equipment, all of these things are going on now. Rather then the long
> six-month buildup to the last Gulf War, the U.S. is getting ready so that

> Meanwhile, the inspectors are on their second day in Baghdad, still

> sort of surreal feel to all this. UN planes flying in while U.S. planes
> are bombing the same country. But make no mistake about it, the stakes in
> all of this are very very high. Since the end of the Gulf War and the
> beginning of the no-fly zones, the Iraqis have been trying to shoot down a
> U.S. plane. They have set traps, tried to lure them into missile
> kill-zones. But so far every U.S. and Allied plane has returned safely.
> But with the incidents of firing over the last couple of days, one can
> only imagine what would happen if the Iraqis were to hit an American jet
> now, with tensions as high as they are. This is a very dangerous game.
> Actually it's not a game at all. Dave Marash will report on what has been
> happening and the preparations for what might happen. Ted will anchor, and
> we're still finalizing who his guests will be. I hope you'll join us.
