(NYT37) UMM QASR, Iraq -- Feb. 15, 2003 -- IRAQ-BORDER-3 -- Military experts agree that the strategic area of Umm Qasr, Iraq -- south of the city of Basra, next to the port and the thin strip of land connecting Iraq to the gulf -- would be among the first targets for American troops in case of any attack. But curiously there is no sign here that Iraq is doing much to prepare itself militarily against an invasion. A stray tank or two can be seen farther north, off the road from Basra to Baghdad, but otherwise there is little evidence of any real military presence near the zone. Whether the American assault would come by sea, by land or by air, certainly no one here knows.
