Political Quotes

On the recordApril 21, 1994
I will remind my good friend from Connecticut that I ran a calculation. There are 36 conflicts going on in the world today. Most of them civil wars, cultural wars, religious wars. Yes, we are appalled about the tragedy unfolding before our eyes in Bosnia. Yes, we have compassion. But this Senator draws the line. I am speaking today for the future involvement, the future credibility of this country and the future risk of lives of the men and women in the Armed Forces that wear our uniform. We cannot become militarily involved in every humanitarian tragedy in the world.
