2 - The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, October 11, 1994 ' IRAQ Continued from page 1 formally that "the instructions have already been issued and the troops are already on the move." But he declined to answer questions about specifics. Administration officials, though relieved over the Iraqi announcement, said it was too early to tell whether Iraq actually has begun withdrawing its troops, particularly since it was night in Iraq. One senior official said there were some indications early in the day that additional forces were moving toward the Kuwaiti border rather than away from it. "Because of what happened in 1990," Clinton said, referring to Hussein's lightning attack on Kuwait in August of that year, "this provoca- tion requires a strong response from the United States and the interna- tional community. ... We will not allow Iraq to threaten its neighbors or intimidate the United Nations." Officials said the administration probably would insist that Hussein move his forces back to a "non-threat- ening" position, but it was not clear whether it would set a deadline or provide specifics on what that means. "We are discussing the param- eters of their future behavior" and likely will go to the United Nations to seek limits on aggressive Iraqi troop movements, a senior White House aide said last night. Another administration official said that U.S. ground troops would stay in the region for some time even CRISIS Continued from page 1. forceful response to Iraqi troop movements on the Kuwaiti border won praise from across the political spectrum. The buildup also elicted a pledge from Iraq yesterday that it was withdrawing its forces, but officials said the troop pullback could not be confirmed. "I want to express my pride in what our men and women in uniform have done in Haiti," Clinton said in an Oval Office address last night. "In just three weeks, the level of violence Lt. Tonya Kabel-Ballard writes in her journal while waiting to board a plane headed for the Persian Gulf on Su if Iraq withdraws its forces. But, he added, "I don't believe the president has any desire to keep American forces over there any longer than necessary." The official said the president was determined to deter an attack or to defend Kuwait and had not yet fo- cused on what new restraints to try to impose on Hussein. White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers said Clinton spoke by telephone with six foreign leaders Sunday and yesterday about the Iraq situation and that all were supportive. He also called former President Bush, who led the 1991 war that drove Iraq from Kuwait, to thank him for supporting his actions in the current crisis and to say Bush's prepositioning of large numbers of U.S. tanks and artillery in Kuwait was critic swift American response.

Clinton said dangers lurked still in Haiti and in the showdown with Iraq, but he cited the recent visits to Wash- ington by the presidents of the new democracies of South Africa and Rus- sia as evidence that "we are making progress in building a world of greater peace, prosperity and democracy." The day was especially sweet for an administration often criticized for flipflops, indecisiveness and incon- clusive results in troublespots across the globe. Many commentators had faulted the deal Clinton's envoy, former President Carter, had negoti- ated with Cedras because it did not require the general to leave Haiti. And the Iraqi crisis once again spotlighted the unfinished business left behind by some of Clinton's more persistent critics, including two po- tential presidential candidates: former President Bush's secretary of state, James A. Baker III, and Bush's de- fense secretary, Dick Cheney. "Despite many people's predic- tions of disaster, Haiti has gone be- yond anyone's expectations," crowed a White House official. "People predicted that t] trio of Haitian military leaders never step down. We said a they were going to leave Hai they are leaving."

"We are not going to a mistakes of the past to be rep ISRAEL Continued from page 1 no means will we allow them to achieve their goal to interfere in our move toward peace," Rabin vowed. Christopher called on Palestine Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat to strongly condemn the attack. "Certainly I think it is up to him to give a strong condemnation of that incident because it is an inter- ference with his efforts to achieve peace in this region," Christopher told reporters. Arafat was in Morroco, attending the funeral of a founding member of Fateh, the guerrilla organization Arafat created. He issued no com- ment on the attack. Faisal Husseini, who holds the Jerusalem portfolio in the Palestinian self-governing authority, condemned the attack, telling Israel Radio he con- demns all attacks on innocent civilians. In a leaflet issued in Gaza, the Izzadin al-Kassam unit of Hamas said that Sunday's attack was meant to commemorate the killing during ariot four years ago of 17 Palestinians in Jerusalem's Old City. The Palestinians were shot by secu- rity forces on the Temple Mount, a site holy to Muslims and Jews. Hamas identified the gunmen shot dead Sunday night moments after they opened fire as Issam Mhana I Jawhari and Hassan Abbas.
