Kosovo Quotes - Page 2

• [Today's left] would have left us with Slobodan Milosevic in power, Bosnia ethnically cleansed, Kosovo part of Greater Serbia, Afghanistan under the Taliban, and Iraq the property of a psychopathic crime family. Now, I'm sorry to say, I've no patience with that leftist mentality anymore.

• We know what our policy is regarding the territory of Israel, Kosovo, Bosnia, Macedonia and even Nagorno-Karabakh. What is our policy regarding the territory of the United States? No nation in history has ever been as willing to accommodate those who would dismember it as has the United States of America. Trying to get a straight pro-U. S. comment out of a U.S. elected official is like trying to nail a custard pie to the side of a barn.

• En Sarajevo y en Siria, se trata de sociedades -en Bosnia, en Serbia, en Kosovo, en Siria- en las que las etnias conviven y se casan durante largos periodos de tiempo hasta que resulta valioso explotar la división. Y sí, la división está ahí porque siempre se puede volver a la historia, siempre se puede exacerbar, pero se manipula con fines políticos.

• The first thing you have to do is understand what success looks like. And to understand what success looks like you have to understand the intent. If you understand that intent is to make sure the sea lines are secure, then suddenly bombing Kosovo makes sense, because you don't want Serbia to reemerge as a major power.

• A veces la gente me dice: "Bueno, ¿cuál fue la diferencia entre Kosovo, que fue una intervención exitosa, e Irak y Afganistán que han sido tan difíciles?". Y la respuesta es muy sencilla. En Kosovo, tras la pérdida de su régimen, hubo un proceso de reconstrucción política y económica que se llevó a cabo sin la intervención del terrorismo. Si hubiera intervenido el terrorismo, por cierto, habría sido extremadamente difícil, pero no fue así.

• I saw my job [as president] as to try to move the world from an unstable condition of interdependence toward more integrated cooperative world community. Therefore, my approach was to cooperate wherever possible and to build institutions of cooperation, an expanded NATO, the World Trade Organization, the Summit of the Americas, the Asian Pacific Leaders, all those, the coalition to fight in Bosnia and Kosovo, to cooperate wherever possible but to act alone if we had to.

• Islam is one of the fastest-growing faiths within America, and America needs to show that we're not anti-Islam. We are for, for people being free and having opportunity everywhere, that... We did that in Bosnia, we did that in Kosovo, we did that in numerous other places in the world.

• Los rusos van a ser expansionistas tanto si nosotros [EE.UU.] les provocamos a ello como si no. Los rusos siguen diciendo que intentamos cercarles. ¿En qué sentido la independencia de Kosovo, una provincia sin salida al mar, antigua Yugoslavia, sin frontera común con Rusia, amenaza a Rusia con cercarla? Esto es insultante. ¿En qué sentido la independencia de Georgia constituye un cerco? A lo que nos enfrentamos, y podemos darle su nombre correcto, es a lo que he llamado antes, un imperialismo ruso chovinista, teocrático en parte, xenófobo.

• Some of the most dramatic consequences of the Kosovo war are linked to the resumption of the arms race and the suicidal political and economic policies of countries like India and Pakistan where tons of money are currently being spent on atomic weaponry. This is abhorrent!

• In fact, it was stated early in the first Bush [presidency], Bush I, in one of their documents they pointed out in the future, US wars are going to be against much weaker enemies. And they have to be won quickly and decisively before a popular reaction develops. And Iif you take a look, that's what's done. Look at Panama, for instance, over a couple of days; and Kosovo, no American troops.

• A pesar de la sofisticación de los GPS, su uso sigue planteando numerosos problemas. El problema más evidente en este contexto es el de las minas terrestres. Por ejemplo, cuando las tropas francesas entraron en Kosovo se les dijo que lo harían a medio camino, por campo abierto. Pero sus líderes se habían olvidado de las minas terrestres. Y esto supuso un grave problema porque, hoy en día, las minas terrestres ya no están localizadas.

• Para Estados Unidos, la guerra de Kosovo fue un éxito porque fomentó el desarrollo de la "Revolución en Asuntos Militares" (RMA) del Pentágono. La guerra proporcionó un campo de pruebas para la experimentación y allanó el camino para la aparición de lo que yo llamo en Strategie de la deception "la segunda disuasión".
