On the recordApril 28, 1999
There is a strange dichotomy at play in this event. Those from the left attempt to use a vehicle they neither support, understand or even loathe at times. They attempt to spin the White House language that we attempt to stop ethnic cleansing, when the issue has actually exacerbated the problem that the Pentagon predicted, and warned and told the President not to get involved in. The actual killing and removal of over 1 million refugees would not have happened, not to the degree if NATO had not intervened. The Jane Fondas, the Ramsey Clarks, the Strobe Talbotts of this world find themselves inept in attempting to conduct military operations or even foreign policy. Take a look at NATO today: France, Socialist/Communist coalition; Italy, former Communist. It is not somebody that we trust.
