Political Quotes

On the recordApril 21, 1994
I share the concerns--and I have said it in this debate in the last hour--of the French and the British about their forces on the ground in Bosnia. They were put in there to carry out a humanitarian mission. They were equipped with such military equipment as was necessary to protect themselves, not to become an aggressive force and work in conjunction with NATO air power to repulse the Serbs. If you leave the impression that if we add air power to what they now have on the grounds, this could turn the tide in that conflict, you have made a very fallacious military argument.
