[0:04] This is the CBS Evening News
[0:09] with Dan Rather and Connie Chung.
[0:12] >> Good evening. US troops are still
[0:14] heading for the Gulf tonight wondering
[0:16] how many times this trip will be
[0:18] necessary.
[0:19] >> Saddam Hussein is still playing
[0:20] diplomatic hardball in his confrontation
[0:22] with Kuwait and the United States. The
[0:24] Iraqi army is pulling back from the
[0:26] Kuwaiti border, but at the same time
[0:28] Iraq says it won't even consider

[1:06] their chain,
[1:07] >> I think he should be put out of power,
[1:09] killed. This guy got jobbed on the first
[1:10] time.
[1:11] >> Cracks are beginning to show in the
[1:13] alliance about what to do next. There
[1:15] was no consensus at today's meetings
[1:17] about calling for a military exclusion
[1:19] zone to keep Saddam's troops out of
[1:21] southern Iraq and away from Kuwait.
[1:23] >> The various means and techniques of
[1:25] doing that are under discussion.
[1:27] >> In fact, in Paris today the French
[1:29] Foreign Minister Alain Jupp
