Tom Wicker: 'I Don't see any
way out unless the embargo or
Blockade works'
Tom Wicker, a native aI Hamlet who is a syndicated
soiumnist for the New York Times and a frequent
sommentor on ABC-TVs "This Week With David
Brinldey," analyzing the Middle East at a recent press
conference at PSU, said "I don't see any way out of the
lituation unless the embargo or blockade works."
He quickly added, "And there's not much historical
precedent for that succeeding. Am embargo or blockade
can't work overnight It takes a long time for them to
work."
Of all the alternatives. Wicker supports most the
embargo or blockade effort. "I support that effort
entirely. I think it is the right way to proceed-a good way
to proceed. It is also the path that promises the least
success, at least from historical records," he said.
Should there be a long stalemate in the region. Wicker
believes "there would be some falloff in support, but it
wouldn't be catastrophic. However, if there is a war which
turns into a long and bloody war, you would have some
initial support that would very quickly deteriorate if we
didn't win it"
Wicker scoffs at what he describes as "an awful lot of
war fever in this country," pointing to those who say,
'Til knock this guy off and show him how tough we are."
Of such talk. Wicker commented, "I think that is a lot of
foolishness."
"Military violence rarely if ever solves problems and, if
it does, it raises new ones just as bad. What's the
difference between being bogged down in the jungle and
being bogged down in the desert? We don't have an army
that's trained to fight in the desert We don't have
equipment tanks, etc., designed for that purpose."
Wicker made this observation, "If we launch a war, we
will be defraying the oil production we are supposed to
be there to protect You can't fight a war in those oil
producing countries without destroying the oil produc
tion."
Speaking of the U.S.'s air power in the Middle East
Wicker injected. "Those people who talk about a surgical
air strike are talking through their hats. In the first place,
there's no such thing as a surgical air strike. If you drop a
bomb from way up in the air, you are lucky to get within a
mile of where you're aiming. No matter what our Air
Force generals are saying, no way since the invention of
the airplane has ever been won by air power."
Wicker asked, "Where is all this leading?" Then he
gave his opinions, "I don't think the U.S. has authorized
an attack on Iraq, and I" m pretty sure if President Bush
attacks Iraq, he'll lose a great deal of Arab support and
probably the U.N. Security COuncil's backing. Yet, it's
implicit in this whole deal that if the embargo or blockade
doesn't work, that this (attacking Iraq) is what we are
thinking to do.
"So on the one hand," Wicker reasoned, "I don't see
where Bush's efforts are leading--if not to war--and on the
other hand, I don't see how he can retreat from the goals
he has proclaimed tod rive Saddam Hussein out (of
Kuwait) unless the blockade and embargo work."
There's another perspective, said Wicker. "If Saddam
Hussein says, "You win, I'm going to take my troops
out" We'll have to bring our troops home too. In effect
Saddam Hussein is left there with his army and nuclear
missfles, chemical ware, etc. He cand o it all over again."
And thus, like rthers, the New York Times columnist
discussed the pros and cons of the dilemma in which the
United States finds itself.
