LI 1400 But the fact that Congress insists upon approving in advance any deployment of ground troops does not mean that Congress has prejudged the issue. Whether this country supports ground troops will depend. in my opinion. on what we discover is happening to the men of Kosovo. Because the refugees come out. the women. the children. the old men. but the younger men and the middleaged men are left behind. They may join the KLA. and that is their right: they may be detained. and that is not something that would cause incredible outrage. But if we discover. as so many fear. that the men of Kosovo are being systematically slaughtered. then there will be an outcry throughout Europe and the United States. and it is possible that this House would authorize the use of ground troops.
