Carter May Be Bound For Bosnia -- Ex-President Hopes To Craft Cease-Fire

Seattle Times News Services

WASHINGTON - The leader of the Bosnian Serbs is beginning to make good on his promises to Jimmy Carter, and the former president could be on his way to Bosnia this weekend to try to arrange a cease-fire, senior Clinton administration officials said today.

Carter talked this morning to Secretary of State Warren Christopher. "We're skeptical," an administration official said of the former president's projected mission.

He stressed that the U.S. objectives in Bosnia go beyond a cease-fire. Still, the official said it was "prudent" for Carter to insist on assurances before going ahead.

Carter would go without the specific approval of President Clinton, who talked to Carter yesterday and last week before the former president received an emissary from Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic.

Karadzic, through the emissary, had promised Carter the Serbs would observe a cease-fire around Sarajevo, the Bosnian capital, and let U.N. humanitarian convoys operate freely.

The Serbs seem to be implementing their assurances, a senior official said. "President Carter could be on his way in 24 hours."

Carter told Cable News Network that if he makes the trip, he would not take sides in the war but would listen to the views of both the Muslim-led Bosnian government and Karadzic's Serbs, who have seized more than 70 percent of the territory of the former Yugoslav republic.

In a CNN interview, Karadzic said he outlined to Carter a six-point plan intended to ease the crisis.

It included an immediate cease-fire in the Sarajevo area, along with pledges to end the harassment of U.N. relief operations, release detained U.N. troops, free Bosnian government soldiers younger than 19, permit the reopening of the Sarajevo airport and guarantee human rights in areas under Serb control.

The Serb initiative comes before a key meeting of military chiefs in The Hague on Monday and coincides with intricate contingency plans by NATO to withdraw U.N. troops if they remain under rebel Serb attack.

In North Korea and Haiti, Carter negotiated directly with dictators and defused potentially serious crises.

Carter said he doesn't plan to negotiate independently but instead will urge Karadzic to accept the peace plan outlined by the United States, Russia, Britain, France and Germany - known as the Contact Group - which would partition the country between the Serbs and a federation of the government and the Bosnian Croats.

It would give 51 percent of the territory to the Muslim-Croat federation and 49 percent to the Serbs. The plan has already been accepted by the Bosnian government and the Croats.

Bosnian Vice President Ejup Ganic described Karadzic's proposals as an attempt to sow confusion, grab publicity and sabotage an existing peace plan drawn up by the five-nation contact group.

"He has a peace plan and a map on the table and he's trying everything now to find another route around it," Ganic said.

cswap.com is down right now as I try to make a specific reference to the dialog, but as I watch now on DVD the 1986 film "Heartbreak Ridge" the dialog by "Tom Highway" as they are on the firing range and of how the Marine is using too much ammunition reminds me of a dream I had last time I woke up and that I think was just before I got up out of bed the last time. The dream was of me fighting with a group of soldiers and the enemy seemed to be WW2 German soldiers but after I thought about it today I was feeling certain the dream was of me in the field with British troops as we fought against the Argentina's in 1982. The dream was fairly brief but it was at least two different scenes and I remember one scene better than the other. We seemed to have been in some kind of tunnels or some kind of setting not unlike a large highway overpass. I just now thought of the description of the highway overpass but that is a good description. I was aware only that it was dark, and as I think about it now, I have no idea the source of light but I am certain of the concrete walls around me and of the kind of dirt you would see under a large highway overpass and I was also aware that we were in some kind of enclosure but I am not certain how I knew that. So the primarily element of the dream was during a close-quarters battle with the enemy soldiers and I can only remember the last two soldiers we killed. I vaguely remember the second to last enemy soldier we killed but I especially remember the last enemy soldier we killed because he was flat on the ground and and to move backwards and I saw us firing our automatic weapons at him and I was distinctly aware of the tremendous amount of bullets coming from the other soldiers in my group and I guess there were at least five of them but there could have been twice that many. I could actually see the bullets traveling towards the enemy and hitting his body and I had also fired a few bullets into him. So that actual primary element of the dream, as I pondered for a while in the past day is that at least one of the other soldiers was angry because I had not fired enough bullets into the enemy soldier and after the battle was over he was pointing a pistol at me as he was speaking. In the dream, he was speaking a foreign language but I think that was some kind of dream element to suggest he was British. Something, I think now, of that saying that I think is by Winston Churchill about how a common language separates Britain and America. So that seemed to be the end of the dream. I pondered over it several times during the past day and as I was walking outside later and I think maybe I was trying to remember my conversations with my father about it. I was also pondering over how I talked with a senior British army officer about the situation and the frustration that had developed by the soldiers that were thinking I was not fighting hard enough, I guess was their issue and why one of them drew a pistol on me. I was pondering over all this as I walked outside and I was pondering over how I really did not want to elaborate my thoughts with that British officer and I was frustrated myself on this topic because, why I understood fully the issue, I could not find a way to articulate my thoughts in a manner that I felt would not endanger those soldiers I was allied with. I pondered further as I was walking today that I eventually and not long after that incident did I discuss my thoughts with the British army officer and I described how I had simply did not need to use a lot of bullets to subdue the enemy and I had seen enough combat to know that if I talked about my ration of ammunition then my allies were going to hesitate in battle and that would possibly get them killed. From my perspective, the issue was training, I think now and also thought about the past day. So I discussed with that British army officer about how I would personally approach the enemy and I also described how I would demonstrate my tactics in actual combat against the Argentina's to the British soldiers but I also cautioned him those soldiers would need to be removed from front-line duty for the immediate future because what they would see me accomplishing would only endanger themselves. I pondered as I was walking outside about at least two different engagements where they watched me approach stealthily the enemy and subdue the enemy and of one time where I slipped out quietly and as a gesture to my allied soldiers, I emptied my clip of bullets into an enemy soldier that was surprised to see me sneak up on him. I was thinking also as I was walking outside that situation was the basis for the scene in the 1996 film "Star Trek: First Contact" where "Captain Picard" kills the "Borg" with the Thompson submachine gun and "Lily" comments about how he seemed to have enjoyed it and the basis for that was conversations with my father about how my allied British army soldiers thought I had enjoyed getting up close to those Argentina soldiers and killing them in front of the British soldiers. I talked with him about how this was in 1982 and I had not seen such fierce combat such the Vietnam War and that was over ten years earlier. Ten years. That was 1982 and I had not seen such fierce combat in over ten years and I had seen a lifetime worth a killing during the Vietnam War. I pondered as I walked along outside about how I might have talked with him about how alive I felt being again in such fierce combat.

It also seems important that I was standing mostly away from the main part as the majority of the soldiers were firing. The other scene was outside but that is now too vague to remember. I remember clearly seeing foliage and there is something vague about the armor tracks we were walking along with and there is something vague about what I guess was an encounter with an enemy force because we seemed to have started running in the direction we were traveling but the specific details are too vague to remember.

I think Patrick Stewart's portrayal during the scene on the "holodeck" as he kills the "Borg" is a normal reaction for what was actually my abnormal reaction during combat during the Falklands War. I

Except for the dialog about how he seemed be enjoying it. I did not get that impression that he was enjoying it any time I watched that scene. I think that dialog about how he seemed to be enjoying it is the comments from the British army soldiers watching me encounter the enemy. I have also been thinking that the Israeli soldiers I fought with had similar actions to watching me subdue the enemy during combat.
