Take heart, JLA: "the law protects citizens from 'evil and tyranny'.... Fifteen generations of Americans, our fellow Americans, many of whom are reposing in military cemeteries throughout the world, are looking down on and judging what you do today.'' -- House Judiciary Counsel David Schippers in his closing remarks to the committee hearing on Monday. Today is Oct. 6th. Today in history: One year ago: In a blow to both Democrats and Republicans, President Clinton used his line-item veto to kill 38 military construction projects. capitolhillblue.com In another irony: cnn.com President Boris Yeltsin reportedly held telephone talks with Annan to discuss the issue, while Defense Minister Marshal Igor Sergeyev warned that any NATO military strikes in Kosovo would mean a return to the Cold War era. "There would be a retreat to Cold War. There would be no ratification of START II (nuclear arms reduction treaty) in the next few months," he was quoted as saying. Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic warned U.S. envoy Richard Holbrooke in Belgrade Monday that any NATO air strikes on Serb forces in Kosovo would be "a criminal act." Meanwhile, Yugoslav Prime Minister Momir Bulatovic told an emergency session of parliament Monday that Yugoslavia "is faced with an imminent danger of war ... and has to defend itself if it was attacked." Bulatovic asked the legislators to take steps to mobilize all military-age men in Yugoslavia, but only "when the first bomb drops on our territory." --- Gee. Seems like the United States isn't getting any respect anymore. Iraq successfully thumbs its nose at the U.S., then Russia, even with a badly battered economy is threatening a return to the "Cold War", (and these slobs are the same ones begging money from the IMF, and the IMF is begging money from the US taxpayer). Now Yugoslovia is defying us. Does anyone wonder why? Something about leadership credibility maybe, and moral authority?
