119. I agree that the methods used "bombing at high altitudes"
was not the best way to achieve the objective of putting down the Milosevic government in Kosovo.

There was a General in charge of the actions at the time who was in favor of more precise bombing utilizing Apache Helicopters, and boots on the ground (that General was retired early due to his insistence that there was a better way). However, due to Clinton's fear of another Somalia incident, and the Republican pressure not risk even one US soldier, the high altitude bombing was selected as the "safest" (read for our soldiers) manner in destroying the command infrastructure of the government that was reeking havoc and practicing various methods of Genocide upon the unwanted portion of its people.
