On the recordMay 7, 1996
I never believed that the United States should bear the amount of responsibility it did in Bosnia. I felt that it was a European theater, that the Europeans should have been the predominant force, and that the U.S. support, which should have been there, should have been just that, in support of a European initiative. I have always been worried about this--why around the world when we have a real problem; it is in the European theater; the Europeans cannot work it out, so we will send in Uncle Sam. I think it is a bad precedent to set. But the President made that decision, and from that point forward, of course, all of us have been unanimous in trying to do everything we can to make certain that our soldiers, our men and women, have every support they need.
