Bill Clinton: “No, I've been condemning their behavior for 2 years now. And let me just say this: I think--you asked me in general…”

On the recordApril 20, 1994
No, I've been condemning their behavior for 2 years now. And let me just say this: I think--you asked me in general terms-- in general terms do I consider them to be the primary aggressor? The answer to that is yes. More specifically, and far more importantly, were they wrong in Gorazde? Yes, terribly wrong. What is their defense? That the Muslims shot at them. Did they overreact to that, even if it's true? Unbelievably. Does that justify shelling a hospital, shelling the U.N. headquarters, taking United Nations hostages when we have never been involved in the war against them, when all we did was to do what we said we would do all along, which is if they threatened our people, we would use air power? They are the complete aggressors and wrongdoers in the case of Gorazde.
