We were initially told that our military objectives were to deter Serbian attacks against the people of Kosovo and to reduce their ability to pursue offensive operations in Kosovo. Two weeks ago we were told that our objective was to remove all Serbian troops from Kosovo. a political moving target. After five weeks of bombing targets. which have been limited by politicians. Serbian forces have created a humanitarian crisis where over 1 million refugees have not retreated from Kosovo. and. in fact. have dug in along the Kosovo border. In 1995. the President said that we would send troops to keep peace in Bosnia for a year. We are four years later and we still have 6.000 American soldiers serving in Bosnia. with no end in sight.
