The American general who would lead an Iraq invasion fine-tuned the battle plan Wednesday with his senior commanders.
The operation would be executed from a command post shielded by a chain-link fence hidden inside a warehouse on this remote desert base.
Army Gen. Tommy R. Franks met for several hours with the commanders of his naval, air, land and special operations forces, who normally report to him from their war-fighting posts in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
Franks made no public appearance, but he indicated before the conference that he intended to review with his commanders their progress in preparing for the possibility that President Bush will order war to disarm Iraq.
