Jamie Shea Simply Quotations

We have reports that soldiers were also involved in the casualties, not simply civilians.

We still exclude that option for the simple reason that they would take many weeks, if not months, to assemble, to introduce into the area and to fight their way in. We simply don't have several weeks or months at our disposal.

I'm quite sure that if President Ahtisaari does go to Belgrade, he will carry a firm message that he's not there to negotiate, that he's there to obtain from Milosevic an unambiguous, clear and verifiable pledge that Belgrade is willing not simply to accept the principles of the G-8 but to put them into practice.

It's not simply NATO which is isolating President Milosevic. Rarely in history has one state been so isolated, politically, militarily, economically and geographically. This cannot be something the Yugoslav people need or want at this time.
