Us Policy Toward Bosnia PDF Download

Excerpt from U. S. Policy Towards Bosnia: Hearing Before the Committee on International Relations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session First of all, the Administration with strong support from the Congress had taken Since assuming office, strong exception to the arms embargo. We were working very vigorously to have the arms embargo lifted because we were very concerned about the disparity of forces and the imbalance that was hurting the cause of the Bosnian Government, the Bosnian Muslims. Second, at that point, especially in Eastern Bosnia, the Govern ment of Bosnia forces were under intense pressure. They were outgunned, they were outmanned, they were ceding territory and we were very concerned at that moment that a military debacle might well have ensued. Therefore when the question was posed to us, as I indicated in my prepared statement, we had three choices. One was to try actively to oppose the shipment of arms to the Bosnians by several governments, including Iran. If we had done so, it would have weakened further the military cause of the Bosnian Government already under Siege, as I mentioned before.
