cannot history nato people president rarely simply state
It's not simply NATO which is isolating President Milosevic. Rarely in history has one state been so isolated, politically, militarily, economically and geographically. This cannot be something the Yugoslav people need or want at this time.
involved reports simply soldiers
We have reports that soldiers were also involved in the casualties, not simply civilians.
area exclude fight introduce months option reason several simple simply weeks
We still exclude that option for the simple reason that they would take many weeks, if not months, to assemble, to introduce into the area and to fight their way in. We simply don't have several weeks or months at our disposal.
accept carry clear firm message obtain pledge president principles quite simply sure verifiable willing
I'm quite sure that if President Ahtisaari does go to Belgrade, he will carry a firm message that he's not there to negotiate, that he's there to obtain from Milosevic an unambiguous, clear and verifiable pledge that Belgrade is willing not simply to accept the principles of the G-8 but to put them into practice.
accept agree authority expect immediate military order terms
We expect the Yugoslav military representatives to accept the terms that will be put to them by Gen. Jackson, and we expect them to have the authority not only to agree but also to order the immediate implementation of what is agreed.
pleasant
It would be very pleasant to be there, but we're not there yet.

The Russian incident, while colorful, is really a minor one.
allied conditions continue force fulfilled operation until
Operation Allied Force will continue until those conditions have been fulfilled and fulfilled in full.
allies allowed determination matter security suffer values
We are going to demonstrate ... the determination of the allies to see this through to the end no matter how long it takes. Our values and security will suffer if Milosevic is allowed to continue.
days determined hours momentum seize though took within
Even though it took 72 days to get to this point, we -- within 72 hours -- are determined to seize the momentum of peace.
based experience form graves looks mass number quite
Based on our experience in Bosnia, where a number of mass graves were uncovered, the form looks quite similar.
army army-and-navy based clear deployed distance evidence full kosovo normally outside special
We are still at some distance from full compliance. There is clear evidence that many army and special units that are normally based outside Kosovo are still deployed in Kosovo.
ability army army-and-navy both distribute hurting lack receive reports supplies
We do know from the reports that we receive that the Yugoslav army is hurting now because of a lack of oil, both of supplies and the ability to distribute it.
