George H.W. Bush: “The terrain is difficult. The finding of the opposition is difficult. You have a history in that area--you don't have to…”

“The terrain is difficult. The finding of the opposition is difficult. You have a history in that area--you don't have to go very far back--go back to World War II and see a history of successful guerrilla fighting in the area. You have a terrain problem at Sarajevo that's similar; at the G-7 meeting, people were telling me Dien Bien Phu. So I think there are parallels. But there isn't going to be a parallel as long as I make the decisions in terms of putting people in there and not clearly understanding the mission and not clearly understanding how that mission is achieved and then seeing those people come out with their honor intact, fully backed by the United States. So it's highly complex in using that formula that I just spelled out and then applying that formula to the situation, that highly complex situation on the ground today in Yugoslavia.”
