they had uh kind of uh i don 't know if you call it stand down or whatever but anyway they stopped and wait to see if Iraq would accept a permanent cease fire situation though as i understand it from the Iraqi point of view this current cease fire thing that the UN uh had set up you know the Iraqis are probably not going to go for at all unless they 're just absolutely forced to
There would be no getting the Iraqis to stand down without force .
