We have reports that soldiers were also involved in the casualties, not simply civilians. |
We heard seven speeches today but only one message: They share our determination to prevail and to see this through, and they are willing to put up with the short-term inconveniences resulting from the Kosovo crisis. |
We know that some transporters have been heading from southern Serbia to northern Kosovo -- that's the primary equipment you would send if you were planning to withdraw. |

We note the Pentagon stresses this is normal rotation and in any case next summer would have been the normal time. |
We regret any loss of life that this may have caused because our policy remains to minimize collateral damage. |

What we are seeing is a safari operation ongoing by Serb security forces against Kosovo Albanians. First, there is a pattern of shelling into the hills, beating them out of the bush if you like.

Then they are put into trains and sent to borders but sometimes when they arrive they are sent back again. |
