Political Quotes

“I expressed my concerns about an expanded use of air power in Bosnia. I also expressed my belief that it is essential, and I repeat--it is essential--that the Congress at the earliest opportunity begin a full and thorough debate regarding the next evolution of the Bosnia policy.

Bosnia, in my judgment, poses one of the most complex political-diplomatic-military equations that we have had to face in recent time. We have great compassion for the suffering of the Bosnian people, suffering which has been vividly portrayed to us through vivid television coverage. We are moved; we are concerned; we are compassionate. But we must not let our foreign policy be dictated by our emotions.”
