Now. as I have just Indicated. we have a situation where the SFOR troops have taken over TV transmitters. So I think the Senator from Texas makes a good point in terms of mission creep: But in answer to the specific question. flying in the helicopter with a onestar over there from Tuzla where our American forces have their headquarters. we went over a small hill. and on the knoll of the hill there used to be 60 Muslim families that lived there. and during the fighting since 1993 there was tremendous bloodshed. there were atrocities very close by. and obviously that particular piece of real estate is not inhabited any more by the Muslims. So there was an attempt by SFOR and by NATO to relocate these refugees on that hill. Three times they tried it. The first time. with 60 people. they tried to relocate on the hill. they were driven away by rocks and stones and shouts and intimidation by the Serbs in that area.
