No, we had commitments under an alliance that we were fulfilling.

BS. We had absolutely no obligation to participate in armed action.

Here is NATO article 4:

Article 4

The Parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the Parties is threatened.

We were obligated to "consult". Not to fight. Article 5 would obligate us to fight, but that requires an armed attack on a member first.

Basically we consulted and agreed to help them on Bosnia. We also consulted on Iraq and they decided to screw us. Some friends.

I got you to admit about a year ago that there was no basis for the Bosnia conflict. Now you're spouting about it again. I hope you don't make me go searching for that post <g>.
