| Hello Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Allison McNair. Welcome to NH Outlook. |
| Iraq Return to index of stories... |
In this program we turn our attention to international affairs. We begin with question: Is Osama bin Laden alive? Tuesday, an audio tape purportedly recorded by the Al Quada leader was broadcast on the Al-Jazeera T V network. The recording threatens Western nations if Iraq is attacked. This - as the Iraqi parliament unanimously rejected the United Nations demand that Baghdad disarm. In a moment, we'll hear from two policy analysts, and see what's involved for New Hampshire's reservists planning for deployment. But first, some background from reporter Rym Brahimi. |

239 members of the Iraqi Parliament vote on the U.N security council's latest ion. All 239 vote no. Despite the threat of a US-led war against Iraq if Baghdad doesn't comply with the UN demands, the president of the parliament told reporters it was a risk Iraqis were prepared to take. SOT Sadoun Hamadi: No matter what the consequences are this decision is the firm defence of the independence of our people and the protection of the integrity of our people. One by one, in the discussion that continued on Tuesday morning, the speakers explained why: SOT Salem Al Kubaissi: We reject the decision because it's unfair and unjust to our people and our country. Only one, very prominent member of the national assembly had a radically different suggestion. Uday Saddam Hussein, the president's son, was one of eleven deputies to not show up. But in a paper he sent to the assembly, Uday Hussein called for parliamentarians to accept the resolution, even though, he said, it was unfair. It's not appeasing the u.s., said the president's son, because Iraq will be in conflict with America for the next 20 years. Still, deputies ended up recommending the resolution be rejected. But they ALSO voted unanimously to allow President Saddam Hussein to make the ultimate call on the issue, which goes without saying. Standup: The country's Revolution Command Council, chaired by the President, has until Friday to make a final decision on the resolution - and it's likely to accept it. The national assembly's public rejection a message, essentially for international public consumption, that if Iraq does end up accepting it, it will do so in protest. On the streets of Baghdad, whether or not the resolution is accepted seems to make little difference. SOT: What is the difference, the US wants to hit and it will hit XXXXXXXXXX Years of conflict and economic sanctions have made Iraqis immune to fear, we're told. They just go about their business as if nothing were happening. But worry they do as they watch, helpless, yet another crisis unfold between the US and Iraq. Rym Brahimi, CNN Baghdad. |

Is war with Iraq inevitable? Producer Phil Vaughn sat down with University of New Hampshire Political Science professor Thomas Trout. The first question: what does the UN resolution call for? |
| Trout and Clark Return to index of stories... |
What does the approved resolution say? What is the timetable for acceptance by Iraq? The Iraqi Parliament recommended rejecting the resolution, leaving the final decision to Saddam Hussein. What are they trying to tell the UN? How do you think Saddam will react to the resolution? What internal pressures are there on Saddam? How do you think the UN will react if the inspection teams go in and don't find a SMOKING GUN? If he reject it, then what happens? There have been 16 Sec Council resolutions in the past - none of which have been honored by Iraq. How differently do you think Saddam Hussein is considering this one? |

If the US takes military action against Iraq, some 3300 men and women from New Hampshire's Air and Army National Guard could be called to active duty. About 50 national guard members are now active in places like Bosnia and supporting homeland security operations. How does someone prepare to leave their job and their family? Chip Neal went to the Air National Guard headquarters in Portsmouth to find out. |

Chip Neal spoke with NH National Guard member Master Sargent Michelle Lebel whose husband Mark is also in the guard. And with Senior Master Sargent Vallerie Morgan who is the Human Resources Advisor and Family Support contact for the 157th Air Refueling Wing at the NH National Guard headquarters at the Pease International Tradeport in Portsmouth. The guard trys to meet the needs of their member's families when they are deployed. They set up video phone contacts with deployed family members. And they help families with everyday needs like getting driveways plowed and financial help when needed. The National Guard believes that a guard member is not ready to go until their family is also ready to deal with the separation. In New Hampshire there are @ 3400 National Guard members with around 50 already deployed overseas. In the coming months we could see many more of them deployed overseas leaving behind families trying their best to cope with the sacrifices they have to make as NH National Guard members. |
