To announce in advance that we will withdraw our forces no matter what Milosevic does would be eerily reminiscent of President Clintons decision to announce in advance that we would use only bombs and never ground troops. Its most likely effect would be to spur Milosevic on to further atrocities. It would also probably have the effect of depriving the humanitarian campaign on behalf of the refugees in Albania and Macedonia of the invaluable assistance of the U.S. military. I want to make clear that my criticisms of the Administrations military policy are not intended to reflect on the humanitarian campaign. All indications are that everyone involvedUNHCR. the nongovernmental organizations. and government agencies emphatically including our armed forcesare doing the Lords work and doing it as well as can be expected under the circumstances.
