SHARING RESPONSIBILITY IN KOSOVO
(Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. TRAFICANT. Madam Speaker, it is time. Time to arm the Kosovo
Liberation Army, not send in ground troops. Let Europe send in the
ground troops. It would cost less than one night of bombing to arm the
KLA, and that is what we should be doing.
It is also time to indict Milosevic for war crimes, and it is also
time to recognize independence for Kosovo, and NATO should support and
defend those borders.
I think this is something very important, Madam Speaker. No doubt,
America is a superpower, but America is not the only power, and it is
time for Europe to step up and take care of problems in their own
backyard.
