On the recordApril 22, 1999
The answer to your--yes, I understand your question. The answer to your question is, no, but we are targeting command and control facilities. And I think it is important. You know, when the weather permits, we go after the tanks and we go after the soldiers. But the tanks and the soldiers are there because people who believe in ethnic cleansing ordered them to go there. And in this conflict, it would be wrong and unfair not to target the command and control operations as well. And that's why the Socialist Party headquarters in Belgrade, for example, was targeted.
