It's about political posturing. Both of you are professionals and you look at polls all the time. Well, I think it's a little bit of both. I'm not sure I asked that right. I think President Clinton is leading, but the fact of the matter is there's a misunderstanding of the role of public opinion in situations like this.
People have opinions when asked questions in public opinion polls.
It does not mean that they want their public officials to follow those opinions slavishly. There are some that they do, but a lot that they don't, and what they want to know is that somebody's thought it through, doing what he thinks is right for the country, not just what's good short-term politics. I think that's what people believe the President is doing here. I'd go back to what I said in the beginning. Right now, sending troops to Bosnia is foreign policy.
