Clinton commits troops to Bosnia beyond proposed deadline
US troops are to stay in Bosnia beyond the planned withdrawal date of next summer.
"We must finish the job we started," President Clinton told a news conference.
Mr Clinton had intended to bring US soldiers home next summer at the end of an 18-month mission.
But he said an American presence was still needed to secure the Dayton peace agreement.
Mr Clinton also called on Europe to do more to rebuild Bosnia following the crippling war.
