U.S. sends attack arms to Albania
By Laura Myers
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The United
States agreed to send 24 Apache
attack helicopters, 18 multiple
rocket launchers and 2,600 troops
to Albania so NATO can closely
strike Serb troops and tanks in
Kosovo and “tighten the noose
around” Yugoslav President Slo
bodan Milosevic’s forces.
Although U.S. troops will be
put at greater risk in escalating
the nearly 2-week-old NATO
airstrikes across Yugoslavia, Pen
tagon officials said the Apaches
could help halt the Serbs’ ethnic
cleansing campaign. It already
has cleared the province of more
than 350,000 ethnic Albanians
and could halve the estimated
1.9 million Kosovo population
that once was only 10 percent
Serb.
“This will basically help
NATO tighten the noose around
Milosevic's neck,” Pentagon
spokesman Kenneth Bacon said
Sunday. “This will help NATO
do more to kill armored forces
quickly than we’ve been able to
do so far.”
Defense Secretary William Co
hen said today, “We’re going after
his tanks, his armored units, his
artillery, those forces on the
ground that are carrying out this
horrific ethnic cleansing. They
are going to be targeted now and
taken out.”
Cohen, in an interview with
The Associated Press, said the
United States will accept 20,000
refugees on a temporary basis.
“We’ll have to decide whether
they go to Guantanamo [Cuba,
site of a U.S. Navy base] or possi
bly Guam. That hasn’t been de
cided just yet.”
Pentagon officials said today
the Army expects to send about
2,600 soldiers with the Apaches
and aviation support forces from
several headquarters in Germany.
In addition to the 24 Apache heli
copters offered to NATO, the
Army also expects to send 26 sup
port helicopters, including mede
vac versions of the UH-60 Black
hawk and some CH-47 Chinook
cargo helicopters.
The forces deploying from Ger
many also might include Ml
Abrams tanks from the 1st Ar
mored Division, officials said.
President Clinton, welcoming
hundreds of children and their
parents to the annual White
House Easter egg roll, asked the
crowd to “send our thoughts and
prayers to our men and women in
uniform in Kosovo, and our
prayers and best wishes to the
many thousands of refugees that
have been generated by that terri
ble conflict.”
Although NATO airstrikes with
cruise missiles and bombs have
been unrelenting since they began
March 24, bad weather has pre
vented many allied pilots from
reaching targets, which have
moved closer and closer to Milo
sevic’s power, hitting downtown
Belgrade throughout the week
end.
The 18 multiple launch rocket
systems will protect the all
weather Apaches with short- and
medium-range missiles, some
armed with scores of "bomblets,”
to take out Yugoslav air defenses
throughout Kosovo, Bacon told
reporters. Fourteen Bradley Fight
ing Vehicles, military police and
intelligence personnel will be
among the U.S. troops sent to Al
bania.
“Obviously, close-in engage
ment is, by definition, riskier than
more distant engagement. But the
Army is trained to cope with
that,” Bacon said of the inherent
danger.
NATO leaders meeting today in
Brussels, Belgium, must approve
using the weapons, which were
requested a week ago by Army
Gen. Wesley Clark, NATO’s
supreme allied commander. Pres
ident Clinton would then need to
approve the Apache gunship plan
a second time, although Cohen
has signed the deployment order,
the Pentagon said.
It could take a week to 10 days
to deploy the Apaches from
lllesheim, Germany, because
many U.S. military cargo planes
also are being used for humanitar
ian aid, military officials said.
U.S. and NATO officials have
expressed surprise at how swiftly
Milosevic's army, paramilitary
and police forces have been able
to sweep ethnic Albanians from
Kosovo since NATO airstrikes be
gan, creating a refugee exodus
that has created a humanitarian
crisis in the Balkans.
In response, the United States
said Sunday it will provide tem
porary shelter for up to 20,000
ethnic Albanians fleeing Serb as
saults while European nations
take in as many as 100,000 — but
just until they can return home
under NATO-led international
protection.
“These people have to go back;
otherwise, there are no people in
Kosovo,” Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright said on
NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Meanwhile, The Washington
Post reported today that the na
tion’s top military commanders
expressed deep reservations
about the U.S. course in the
weeks before the air campaign be
gan.
In closed-door sessions, the
Joint Chiefs of Staff argued for
more economic sanctions, ques
tioned whether U.S. interests
were sufficiently at stake and
challenged Albright’s view that
Serb actions could lead to wider
destabilization in the Balkans and
Europe, the newspaper said. It
quoted unidentified sources fa
miliar with the chiefs’ thinking.
Cohen, in the AP interview,
said, “Those stories are not cor
rect. ... The chiefs presented their
views, but they also ultimately
decided — and unanimously —
that they needed to support this
air campaign, even with its limi
tations, because of the issue of
NATO’s credibility being on the
line.”
Calling for Clinton to keep his
options open, Sen. Dick Lugar, R
Ind., a senior member of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee,
said, “The diplomacy won’t start
until our president stops saying
no ground troops.”
But White House national secu
rity adviser Sandy Berger said the
administration would “stay the
course” in the air-oriented cam
paign.
“Fighting village to village,
there would be thousands of ca
sualties,” Berger said on CBS’
“Face the Nation.” “We do not be
lieve it is necessary to achieve our
objectives.”
“You don't have to pay more to get more!"
