On the recordApril 12, 1999
Rape, murder, torture. Kosovo is one big war crime. I say it is time to indict Slobodan Milosevic for his war crimes. I say it is time to arm the opposition forces in Kosovo so they can defend themselves. I say it is time for Europe, yes, Europe, to send in ground troops to help. And finally, Mr. Speaker, Milosevic has lost all moral and legal authority to rule Kosovo. It is time to support and recognize independence for Kosovo. Members of Congress, we can pay now or Congress and the world can pay much, much more later. I yield back all of the crimes of Slobodan Milosevic.
