PAULA ZHAN, CNN ANCHOR: In the meantime, let's check in with Bob Franken, who is at an air base near Iraq. Bob, we should make clear that you've been in and out of Code Red a number of times with the people you are accompanying. Tell us what's going on right now, and are you seeing anything of what John Kifner and Art Harris have described?</s>BOB FRANKEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, first of all, as you can see we're not in a Code Red. When you're in a Code Red you're in all of your chem-bio paraphernalia, and you have your gas masks on of course -- everything -- and you head for cover. And that's happened a half dozen times today. Each of them has been a false alarm and it's probably a reflection of the tension that is very high here -- tension that is matched by the magnitude of the force that comes from this particular base. As you pointed out, it is near the border with Iraq. It is the main launching point for the FA-18 and the F-16s, which are fighters but also bombers, and a variety of other planes, and other missions -- search and rescue,</s>ZAHN: Bob Franken, we are still awaiting a we are still awaiting a White House news briefing. Let's go back to Washington where Judy Woodruff and I are both awaiting that.
