All the commanders, he said, agreed that Bosnia is a classic environment for military "mission creep," an environment in which an originally limited peacekeeping mission can change and expand over time. In addition, he said, the commanders stressed how difficult it would be to tell the difference between a random act, an attack by a rogue element, and an "authorized" or "systemic" breach of the peace agreement. "Bosnia is filled with a confusing array of factions, profiteers and bandits of all kinds," he said. "Many do not answer to the parties who may sign a peace accord." The commanders also agreed, he said, that a lasting peace in Bosnia could not be achieved "in anything close to 12 months." As for rules of engagement, Inhofe said it is clear from his visit "that common-sense combat-style responses to attacks would not be allowed. Instead, it was stated that NATO forces would seek to use the 'minimum reaction and minimum force necessary' to repel or deter attacks," he said. The mission and objective of U.S. and NATO forces have never been made clear, he said. Inhofe said "it is vitally important that Congress and the American people debate these issues fully and openly" before any commitment is made by the president to involve U.S. troops. NNNN
