Political Quotes

“Mr. President, the President of the United States made a statement yesterday that all of us have listened to and listened to very carefully. There were really three parts of his statement about Bosnia. He made it clear that he felt the economic embargo should be tightened on Serbia, and he made it clear that was going to be a position the United States would take in our meetings that are taking place now and will take place tomorrow and perhaps over the next 2 or 3 days with our allies. I completely agree with that. The embargo on Serbia should be as tight as possible, because of the activity of the Bosnian Serbs and because of the influence of Serbian authorities on the Bosnian Serbs. I think that that is a strong viewpoint, and I believe that the President is correct in asserting it. The second point the President made is that he is going to do everything he can to have emergency humanitarian assistance going to the safe haven called Gorazde. That I think is very important. That safe haven has become a slaughterhouse. Gorazde has become a place where international law, where every sign of respect for humanity has been thrown out the window. So I think the President is absolutely correct in that.”
