? WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States is sending 24 B-1 and B-52 bombers to the island of Guam in the western Pacific to deter any aggression by North Korea in case of a war in Iraq, defense officials said on Tuesday.

The U.S. officials said the move was a prudent measure to keep peace on the tense Korean peninsula, but said it was not prompted by the interception of a U.S. Air Force reconnaissance plane by four North Korean fighters in international air space on Sunday.

"These movements are not aggressive in nature," said Navy Lt. Cmdr. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman. "Deploying these additional forces is a prudent measure to bolster our defensive posture and as a deterrent."

Davis refused to provide any details on the weapons being moved from the United States, but other defense officials told Reuters privately that two dozen swing-wing B-1 jets and heavy eight-engine B-52s were being moved immediately to Guam under orders signed by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

I would be really concerned about the terrorism that may arise if North Korea and U.S. go to war. None of our dogs will be safe
