If that's what he attempted to do just to appease those Europeans, shame on him. Especially in view of the fact that he was a draft evader, going to England. Commander in Chief should not be someone who has never served in the military. One who has served in the military and have seen actions are less likely to commit troops for pure political reasons.
I've read that Europeans wanted us to be involved in Kosovo and take the brunt of the action because we have the so called "experience." The fact is Europeans thinks we, as people are expendable and they do not want to spill their precious European blood in Kosovo even though it was a purely European problem.
