The wild card here is which president will show up. Will it be the disinterested, annoyed and unprepared one? Or will it be the one we expect? |
Theirs is a campaign that explicitly excluded Democrats in every way. But it's now very explicitly reaching out to Democrats, and, we think, they will be wholly unsuccessful. |
There are indications now that Milosevic is ready to accept the conditions that NATO and the international community have put forth to bring this campaign to a suspension, ... ... but we need clarity, we need details, we need implementation and, for now, we will remain cautious. |
There are intense discussions and negotiations going on now between the two parties, ... I think they understand what they're up against, as far as the issues and the timing, and we'll just have to wait and see. |
There are times when no matter what you do it seems to blow up in your face, whether it's self-inflicted or inflicted from the outside. |

There is not an open-ended or unlimited amount of time. People have been ... up most of the night for the last three nights, so you can expect that they're tired. But they're staying at it. |
there was a willingness to stay in the president's absence and an unwillingness to let this break down. |
There's a government-wide effort to make sure that our computer systems remain secure, |
There's a lot of hard work that needs to be done. |
There's no discussion of putting (U.S.) troops into a combat situation there, |
There's some fundamental issues of fairness about how the president and his legal team can prepare for the next phase of this process. We also understand the arithmetic of the Senate, which is there's 55 Republicans and 45 Democrats, so ultimately the Republicans can do what they feel is best, even if it's not fair to the president, |
These are very, very difficult issues. I've heard about a lot of tensions between the parties. There are tensions every day when you're working through these issues. |
