He says he favors lifting the arms embargo so the Bosnians can defend themselves on a level killing field, but he has yet to seriously push his preference...
...mail to the cabin after Weaver retreated there last year. After the shoot-out, as officers cordoned off the mountain, local sympathizers shouted obscenities at police manning the roadblock and vowed, "We'll get you!"
