But if the goal is to wipe out Saddam's future capabilities, particularly the ability to develop nuclear weapons, "no bombing campaign can do that," Albright said. Cities Want to place an ad?

For the rest, we have to be well aware that they are separated and must be taken care of." Berg, who spent a Christmas in Korea, remembers the heartache. He suggests to spouses that they relieve loneliness by getting involved in church or community activities. "The big thing is to not be alone," he said. Persian Gulf deployments have been common at both Fort Bliss and Holloman since the end of the gulf war in 1991. Fort Bliss regularly has 400 to 600 Patriot missile troops in the gulf at any given time, and those numbers swell when tensions increase.

The most recent buildup occurred in February, when Saddam blocked United Nations inspectors from potential weapons sites. At the height of the buildup, Fort Bliss had more than 1,000 air-defense soldiers in the Persian Gulf region. Holloman had 12 F-117A stealth fighters in the gulf in February, along with more than 400 airmen. The last 10 of the fighter jets returned in June. Patriot missiles have been in the gulf region since August 1990 and were used to defend targets in Saudi Arabia and Israel during the January-February 1991 gulf war.

The missile can track targets from near ground level to as high as 50 miles. It is used to defend such targets as airfields, supply depots and troop concentrations. The 65-foot-long stealth fighter can carry two laser-guided bombs. Forty of the fighters flew 1,270 missions against high-priority targets in Iraq during the gulf war, where the night-flying, radar-eluding plane suffered no losses. Tori free (800)351-1677 From Mexico 8M00-257-1576 Bv Tom Raum Associated Press WASHINGTON The Clinton administration suggests any use of force against Iraq would be designed to prevent Iraq from reconstituting its weapons of mans destruction in the absence of U.N.

inspections. But debate has raged inside and outside the administration on whether the goals should be broadened to punish President Saddam Hussein for his most recent defiance, to cripple his weapons-making capacity or to destabilize his military and his government. Large-scale efforts run the risk of increased injury to Iraqi civilians and possibly a longer-term U.S. commitment. Quick missile strikes now could risk fewer American lives but might further embolden Saddam if they failed to carry out the mission.

Zalmay Khalilzad, deputy undersecretary of defense for policy and planning in the Bush administration and now an analyst with Rand said that if the objective is to bomb Saddam into compliance, "it's unclear how much force might be necessary." "It could be done. But we may have to be prepared to use a lot of force and over a long period of time. Do we have the stamina and the will?" Much depends on the quality of U.S. intelligence on weapons sites. "Saddam might just move equipment around to other sites." Khalilzad said.

"Such an approach might require persistence over time that we don have." No US. strategy will be ultimately successful so long as Saddam remains in power, he said.

Gulf Continued from 1A the president has lost patience with Saddum welshing on hia word," Reyes said. "The president was very clear that Saddam has had a number of opportunities to make a good-faith effort to comply with the agreements, both the ones from after the (gulf) war seven years ago and the recent commitment to the United Nations to run the weapons inspections," Reyes said. "Now he's denying access." Neither Bliss nor Holloman officials could say yet when their troops would go, but when virtually the same order was given 10 months ago, they were gone in a few days. Fort Bliss, for example, announced Feb. 9 it was sending troops.

They left Feb. 11 and landed in the gulf Feb. 12. Fort Bliss currently has about 400 troops of the 2nd Battalion, 43rd Air Defense Artillery Regiment, in the region on a six-month rotation that began a month ago. They are commanded by Lt.

Col. Heidi Brown of El Paso, a 1977 Austin High School graduate, who last month became the first woman to lead an Army combat arms battalion into a possible combat zone. Brown's mother, Virginia Brown of Central El Paso, said Wednesday that she is "very proud of her, and we just hope all the troops come back safely. I just want everyone to be praying for the safety of all those troops who are there. "Of course, any parent who has a son or daughter over there is naturally a little worried," Brown said.

The Browns are a military family, including Heidi's dad, William, a Silver Star Medal winner for heroism at Salerno in World War II. Virginia Brown served in China in World War II with the American Red Cross, where she said, "we were shot at by Japanese snipers; so, yes, our family is aware of the dangers our troops face overseas." Several El Paso area veterans, including former Sergeant Major of the Army William 0. Wooldridge of Santa Teresa, said they're impatient with attempts to make Saddam agree to weapons inspections. "The administration has got to cut out letting this guy bluff them, making us look silly," Wooldridge said. "And look what it's costing us the airlift, the supplies, and all the support.

It takes several support people to put each (soldier) out there." Mario Tarin of the East Side, an Army veteran of Vietnam, said of the deployment, "It's about time. I hope we're serious to make Saddam accountable. I've been disappointed that we've made ultimatum after ultimatum." The news of the troop deployment was met by disappointment by area businesses that cater to the military. Cora Garcia, owner of Sunrise Games and Comics, said her business was just recovering from the last deployment earlier this year. She wouldn't release figures but said the military makes up about 40 percent of her business at Sunrise Centre.

"It's a blow, honey. A big blow," she said. "I'd hate to see 800 troops go. God only knows for how long. I depend on the military.

When they're gone, I hurt big time." Dave Craig, owner of GI Supply, 4231 Fred Wilson, expects soldiers to come to his store to get their cloth name tags and rank sewn on desert camouflage uniforms. The numbers will depend on how many troops haven't been to the gulf before. "I'll have a small gain for a short period of time and a big loss over a longer period of time," he said. He thinks any lack of troops over a sustained period would "zap" his Christmas season. "Soldiers would come in here and buy an overcoat for their little brother.

Now they'll buy him a camel," he said. The holiday season can be very ACTIVEWEAR FOR WOMEN IN 2 GREAT FABRICS From Danskin basics for your next workout. All available in sizes S-M-L-XL.
