Ultimately, the decision is theirs to make. Our responsibility, from our vantage point, is to make clear the risks.
We have seen continued fighting and reports of atrocities. It only underscores the brutality of the Milosevic regime and his blatant disregard for human life, and the necessity for NATO's strong response to his repression.
We take it very seriously. And we're going to conduct a formal damage assessment.
The 19 NATO leaders made clear last weekend that NATO will prevail in reversing Milosevic's repression.
We've made very clear that any hollow, half measures will not stop the bombing.
The president has made it clear we will enforce the no-fly zones vigorously. The Iraqi violations are at their own peril.
We are organizing an interagency team including nuclear weapons and counterintelligence experts to conduct a formal damage assessment, which will be reviewed by a panel of independent experts.
We will work tirelessly to bring those who perpetrated this crime to justice.
Currently there is an ongoing investigation to determine if there was criminal conduct and we continue to assess the implications for national security.
It is very dangerous for this country to condone the overthrow of democratically elected governments.
