Nothing in the operation to date indicates we have defined strategic goals in Kosovo or summoned the political will to achieve those goals. Clearly. this is not the time to authorize the Administration to escalate a strategically flawed and poorly managed campaign in the Balkans. A lack of foresight and planning has defined both the air war and the refugee relief effort. allowing Milosevic to seize and keep the initiative. The air war has been waged in a classic Vietnamstyle fashion of escalation. Two principle elements of war. surprise and overwhelming force. have been sacrificed to the political whims of our European allies.
