The Pentagon said the more than 415,000 American forces arrayed against Iraq in the Per sian Gulf area were ready to fight, but many Americans held otlt hope that Hush could be persuaded to put off war and give diplomacy another chance. While the White House had underscored Hush's warning that war could come "sooner rather than later." it issued a statement minutes after mid night that said.

In San Francisco, police in riot gear pulled protesters from a human chain outside a federal office building and ar rested more than 400 people Tuesday in one of the largest demonstrations. In a sign of diplomacy's fail ure in the gulf crisis, the Iraqi ambassador to the United States. Mohamed Sadiq al Mashat. and a half-dozen aides left Washington for Baghdad on Tuesday night. The ambassador was recalled by President Sad dam Hussein, although the Ira qi embassy was not closed. Bush left the Oval Office at his usual time of about 6:30 p in on Tuesday, and the White House gave no indica tion that he was reconsidering using force in the gulf. Presidential spokesman Mar lin Fitzwater said Tuesday that Bush had not made a final deci sion on whether to order an at t.u k on Iraq to liberate Kuwait, but Pentagon officials said U S armed forces were ready to roll if need lie "The Department of Defense is ready to execute any order we might receive from the pres ident " said Pete Williams, chief spokesman for Defense Secretary Dick Cheney. Bush had U N -sanctioned authority to launch a military offensive against tract's dug-in troops in Kuwait as of 12:01 a m KST today, which was H:()l a m. in Kuwait. The corridors of the Pentagon wen* quiet .is midnight arrived, and visible security appeared normal At the entrance to the tightly restricted National Mili tary Command Center, where Cheney would meet with senior officers in the event of war, the hallways were quiet and nc one was in sight. On Tuesday. Saddam ap peared to lx* increasing the* size and firepower of his forces in the* area. Williams said "We don't see any evidence that they are in any way pull ing out of Kuwait Quite the contrary." Williams said, add ing that the number of Iraqi troops in and around Kuwait had reached 545.000, about 5,000 more than five days ago. The Iraqis also have added several hundred tanks, armored personnel carriers and artillery pieces, the* Pentagon spokes man said. American forces in Saudi Arabia and the surrounding seas continued intensive train ing. Williams said NBC News reported Tuesday night that H-52 bombers had been moved to bases in a gulf country it did not identify. The Air Force has never acknowl edged publicly that B-52s have been assigned to Operation De sert Shield, but a detachment is known to have been based at Diego Garcia, an island in the Indian Ocean about 2,500 miles from Kuwait. Lt. Col. Stuart Wagner, a Pentagon spokesman, said. “I can’t talk about B-52s." The Navy has four carriers 1 the USS America, USS Theo dore Roosevelt, IJSS Saratoga and USS John F. Kennedy 1 in the Red Sea. while two others 1 the USS Midway and USS Ranger ' are in the Persian Gulf, the spokesman said. Aboard the carriers are more than 450 warplanes, including bombers, fighters and electron ic warfare planes, that could launched in an attack on Iraq. Williams said he couldn't comment on the alert status of U S. forces in the gulf region, but he strongly hinted that the troops had been placed on heightened alert as the U N deadline approached. “We're taking prudent ac tions." he said. The Pentagon also has de (lined to discuss its estimates of how many American troops might be killed or wounded in an offense against Iraq, but on Tuesday a private defense ana lyst published his own study on the human cost of a Middle Fast war Joshua Epstein of the Brook ings Institution said a U.S.-ini tiated war that opened with an extended air campaign fol lowed by a ground assault de signed to push Iraqi forces from Kuwait but no farther likely would result in tin' deaths of 1.049 to 4.136 American troops and wounds to an additional 3.344 to 16.059. The ranges are so broad. Ep stein said, because of the nu merous combinations in which U.S. forces could be used and the various possible Iraqi re sponses. “Iraq is soundly de feated even on pessimistic as sumptions," he said. Other private analysts have said U.S. casualties could go as high as 30.000. while Rep. Les Aspin, D-Wis., chairman of the House Armed Services Com mittee. said last week that U.S. forces could defeat Iraq with as few as 500 American deaths and 2.500 wounded. The Pentagon was placed on a higher alert condition Tues day. which meant that walk-in tourists were kept out but that scheduled group tours were al lowed to proceed. Three bomb stares briefly closed separate sections of the building.
