Even with the "American" media cabal keeping a lid on coverage of the Congressional war vote debate, McCain couldn't even get a recommendation from the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee which is sending the bill to the Senate floor on Monday! The Senate cowards are expected to "postpone" the vote on Clinton's illegal war and thus allow the mad bomber to continue to punish Yugoslavia and murder Yugoslavian children because he does not want to admit his policy is a failure.

Yugoslavia is not going to allow Kosovo to be torn from it any more than the United States would allow the South to break away in the Civil War. How much more suffering are we going to allow to inflicted on Yugoslavian civilians in this illegal war? Yugoslavia did not invade anyone, especially US, so why are we bombing them? I don't believe that this has anything to do with the Yugoslavian Moslem rebels but a lot to do with European power politics. The Europeans seem ready to fight Milosvic to the last American. CLINTON BALKAN POLICY UNDER FIRE IN THE SENATE Apr. 30, 1999 | 2:14 p.m. By LANCE GAY Scripps Howard News Service Scripps Howard News Service WASHINGTON -- The congressional rebellion against President Clinton's policies in the Balkans spread to the Senate Friday when the leadership said it doesn't yet have the votes to pass legislation giving the White House broad authority to use ``all necessary force'' against Serbia. Senate Republican leader Trent Lott of Mississippi and Democratic leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota plan to kill the measure when it comes up for debate Monday, and postpone any further votes on the Balkans for several weeks. ``We're not going to offer this resolution to lose,'' said Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., co-sponsor of a proposal that would give Clinton a free hand to take whatever actions he needs to win in Yugoslavia. The abrupt change in plans occurred as the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Friday declined to endorse legislation proposed by Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., that would authorize Clinton to use ``all necessary force and other means'' to win in Yugoslavia. The vote was 14-4 to put the matter on the Senate floor, but without a recommendation. Hagel said the committee would have rejected the measure had supporters tried to push it to a yes or no vote. He contended his Republican colleagues wanted to deal Clinton another blow in the wake of ``devastating and damaging'' House votes Wednesday that declared House opposition both to ground troops and the bombing campaign in Yugoslavia. ``Some say this is Clinton's war, and let him strangle in this. But many of us feel this is an American effort,'' said Hagel. He argued that forcing Clinton to back down in Yugoslavia would have ``immense consequences'' to the future of NATO and American prestige around the globe. Democrats admitted there is escalating opposition on both sides of the aisle to the way NATO is waging the war in Yugoslavia. ``My belief from the outset of the Kosovo crisis is that this has been ill conceived, poorly planned, and poorly executed,'' said Sen. Robert Torricelli, D-N.J. He said ``the price is too high'' to ask American GIs to fight a house-by-house battle with Serbia over Kosovo. Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., a supporter of Clinton on Yugoslavia, said he wants to avoid a fractious Balkans battle in the Senate. ``In my 27 years here, I've never seen a time when the Congress wanted to be counted on an issue. Members of Congress do not like to be on the record,'' Biden said, predicting his colleagues will be happy to put the contentious Balkans issue aside for a while. Sen. Bill Frist, R-Tenn., said Congress isn't prepared to give Clinton blanket authority to expand the war in Yugoslavia, and he shares resentment with other lawmakers over Clinton's go-it-alone approach to the Balkans. ``America remains very uncomfortable today, as reflected by the House vote,'' Frist said. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Jesse Helms, R-N.C., said Clinton should have asked Congress for support before he began the air war five weeks ago, and now has himself to blame for the outcome. Daschle said that putting off a Senate confrontation will allow the president more time to gain success with escalating bombing. ``I believe we need to postpone without prejudice any further debate on involvement in the Balkans,'' he said. Daschle noted the Senate, by a 57-42 vote, approved the air campaign after it began in late March. Meanwhile, Rep. Tom Campbell, R-Calif., Friday filed suit in Federal Court seeking to order Clinton to stop the bombing on the grounds it was not authorized by Congress and there is no declaration of war against Yugoslavia under terms of the War Power Act. ----- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam.
