      0:   You didn't necessarijl agree with your colleague's as~es$ment that there
`tere ten other divisions in ad  tion to the J~epublican Guard that were willing and
able to fight.  Was he over-estiiaating or undcr~sti:nating the strength of those
divisions?
      A:   ~`n ~ot going to get into countin~ divisions.   I'll just say tha~'C the ~ra~j
forces still are a significant fighting force.   We feel that we can take ton any of
his capabilities and we ~ow that we'xe going to be victoriou~ wb~n and if we have to    -
go to a ground can~aign, tut I'~ not going to get into whether it's 10 or 11 or 9.

      Q:   If it was about ten divisions in addition to ~epublican Onards, you're
still looking at a~ut a quarter of a inillion troops out there.
      A:   That's right.  Good point.

      0:   This is iiore a housekeeping question. ~ost of the reporters are not able
to get in pools.  ~ore and :nore are going up north on their own.   Part of the
aggressive border action is the military police are arresting and detaining thern.
Can you get General Schwarzkop£ to lighten up on that and give us a little inore
access up there?
      A:   I':n sure he's going to know what the nature of the question is, an~ I'll
turn it over to Captain Wol~e;nooth an~ I'zn sure he can solve the problem.

      Q:   Would you give your assessment of the available facilities, infrastructure
in Saudi Arabia as far as this war ca~~paign against the ariny, how (inaudible) like
the infrastructure of airport facilities, like runways,   (inaudible), and also how far
they are ineeting y9ur high standards for the ca~aign?
      A:   This is the Saudi forces'.

      0:   Yes, Saudi forces.
      A:   The Saudi £orces are doing an outBtanding job.   ~bey, like all the rest of
the coalition i'e~ers, are actively engaged in all aspects of the camp~ign plan.
~heir pedonnance to date has been exceptional,   just like I thin)c ~ could attach that
term across the board to all of our coalition ~mbers.     They're aggressive.  ~t's the
first time they've been in co~at, I think, in the modern era      I think they did a
terrific job at ~afji.    There were lessons learned at Khaf~i as there are lessons
learned every day on the battlefield.   If there are requirarnents as a result of those
lessons learned for changes in doctrine, tactics, techniques, or utilization of
equipment, then those changes have been made.   I've been impressed with them.  As you     - -
know1 I've spent, off and on during the course of ry last tour in CLNTCOM, three
years over here, SO I've seen them ~row and inature.   They're doing an exceptional
jOb, just ~ike the rest of our coalition forces.

      0:   Can you say about medical facilities?
      A:   At the front line or the rear or what?

      0:   Near the front lines.
      A:   They, like all the coalition nembers, have got a good medical System set up
to ~ke sure they can take care of any of their wounded troops.    In fact, I think
that's a plus for the entire coalition effort.   When our troops get wounded or
injured through an accident or whatever, we've got a remarkable syate~ tb inake sure
tbat we take core of them.  That's something I don't think we can even put on the
same, they're not even on the same page when we're talking about the Iraqi forces.

      Q:   In case there is a ground offensive and it goes on for a day~or*two or
~hatever, and then Saddain ~ussein says that's it, I've had enough, I want to leave,


                          -~                        -            **~~i~~1~~~     ~~:
