In my view. events of recent weeks make this an urgent matter. It has become increasingly clear to me that in the wake of the Dayton accords. and after drifting for months. and with elections on the near horizon and the crippling winter only weeks away. the United States went from peacekeeping to peace enforcement with what I consider to be dubious tactics. Troop protection. refugee relocation. democracy building. economic restoration. and. oh. by the way. if we run across a war criminal lets arrest him. Those goals have been replaced. So today we see increased troop strengthsperhaps up to 16.000we have picked a U.S. candidate in the election process. we have embarked upon an aggressive disarmament and location. and capture and prosecution of war criminals.
