So this is a war. and it is testing Europe and the alliance in a way that we have not faced since the end of World War II. However we choose to label it. this is a war in the Balkans. a war that is being conducted by a war criminal named Slobodan Milosevic. who has caused the greatest human catastrophe in Europe since World War II. At stake are the lives of millions of displaced persons and refugees. the stability of southeastern Europe. and the future of NATO itself. Our goals must be the safe and secure return of all Kosovars to their homes. the withdrawal of all Yugoslav and Serbian Army. police. and paramilitary forces from Kosovo. and permitting the establishment of a NATOled peacekeeping force in Kosovo. either through a permissive environment ormy phrasea practically permissible environment. one in which we could go in and the military of Milosevic could not stop us. With the stakes this high. we must give the President the necessary means to achieve our goals.
