Clinton on Operation Storm: "I was rooting for the Croatians"

Below is some info posted on Justwatch by Mike
Baresic. It regards Bill Clinton's comments on
Operation Storm in his autobiography and it would
appear to be of great significance.

Bill Clinton's autobiography, out in bookstores today,
contains several pages about the conflict in Croatia
and Bosnia. Interesting excerpts include Clinton's
confirmation that the US authorized MPRI to go to Croatia to train
the Croatian army and make it a counterbalance to the Serb
army. He also states that the US looked the other way to
arms shipments that violated the UN arms embargo. Clinton
declares that Operation Storm was of great importance to
defeating Milosevic and that he was "rooting for the Croatians"
to take back the Krajina.

Although he doesn't explicitly state that he was the
"godfather of Operation Storm" (to borrow Florence Hartmann's
phrase), he comes awfully close.
