Bush ventured into Serbia's recovering Kosovo province Tuesday, telling U.S. troops he hopes to speed up the day when peace is self-sustaining in Kosovo, and they can go home. Bush told the troops their mission in Kosovo is vital to block those who use religious and ethnic differences as a license to kill. The fact that the ranks of the U.S. military are so diverse, Bush said, serves as an example of peaceful coexistence for Serbs and ethnic Albanians. "Our goal is to hasten the day when peace is self-sustaining, when local democratically elected authorities can assume full responsibility, and when NATO forces can go home," Bush said. Bush told the soldiers that until that day, they play a pivotal role in stanching the flow of arms to rebels who seek to incite violence in Macedonia. He repeated his pledge that the United States will not back out of its NATO peacekeeping commitments in the Balkans, saying, "We came in together and we will leave together." Bush flew in to the sprawling U.S. military base of Camp Bondsteel from Italy, where he had attended the Group of Eight economic summit. His stopover in Kosovo was to last 3 1/2 hours.
