Ken Bacon Nato Quotations

He just said that if you looked down several months out into the future and you reach a point in August or September or October where we might want to deploy ground troops, what is the type of planning timeframe that would be necessary in order to position NATO to do that,

There is no consensus in NATO today for a ground invasion force.

We are in favor of having NATO move to the next stage, which is the so-called activation warning, to come closer to the use of military force if necessary.

This will basically help NATO tighten the noose around Milosevic's neck, ... do a more effective job at eliminating or neutralizing the forces on the ground.

trying to get food to the hundreds of thousands of displaced people within Kosovo is a priority for NATO and certainly for the non-government organizations.

They were, in fact, herded into an area and were, in fact, told before the event took place, 'Now you're going to see what a NATO bombing strike is like,'

A NATO bomb went astray and we don't know what it hit.

The massed artillery is relatively easy for NATO planes to target. And we have been targeting that, and have now, we believe, removed the majority of the artillery in Kosovo -- perhaps as much as 90 percent of the artillery in Kosovo in the last several weeks -- by attacking massed artillery along the borders.
