“Yes, but now the division of labor they have worked out at the airport is quite acceptable to us and guarantees that the mission can go forward. So I think that's the most important thing. We have to--every decision we made, including the agreements made with the Russians, had one thing uppermost in their minds: Will the mission succeed? That is, today it's a very happy day. The Serbian forces will go out on schedule, the last of them. We have about 20,000 of our NATO peacekeepers in there; 62,000 of the Kosovars have already come home, some of them before we wanted them to, because of the demining operations. So I feel very good about where we're going with this now, and I'm leaving here with real confidence that we are going to succeed in achieving all of our objectives. Safety of U.S. Troops Mr. Blitzer. But you have to be concerned about the potential for the KLA, the Kosovo Liberation Army--the revenge, the hatred, the fact that they're not going to be satisfied with autonomy, they're going to want full independence from Serbia--the potential for danger to those U.S. troops is very, very real.”
