NPR's Jon Greenberg reports that President Bill Clinton used his weekly radio address to begin making the case for deploying American troops in Bosnia. Clinton said a deployment is in the best interests of American security and in keeping with the country's national values. Clinton urged Americans to support his plan to send 20,000 U.S. soldiers as part of a 60,000-strong NATO force that will try to guarantee peace in a land torn by four years of bloodshed, atrocities and ethnic cleansing.
