I fully comprehend the power of the U.S. military; it's a huge war machine that is at the beckon whim of a draft dodging perjurer Clown in Chief. Mark my words, these kind of blind, moronic interventionism will come back to haunt the west in the future. The U.S. can't just go around forever enforcing their will/values with their might.

Firstly, I don't think the U.S. has the balls to send in ground troops because the politicians are afraid of casualities. If casualties occur the U.S. public will start whining that we have no business there, it's another Vietnam, yada,yada,yada. They'll only send in ground troops when Yugoslavia has been turned into a crater from the bombing.

Based on retired U.S. general commentary on MSNBC and CNN, they have all echo'd the same sentiments regarding a ground assault (all negative for a U.S. invasion):

1. Ground cover and terrain in favour of Serbs.
2. Weather in favour of Serbs.
3. Only one point of attack; between mountains from Albania; in favour of Serbs.

Regarding those copters. I'd rather be an Serb army soldier on the ground with a Stinger over my shoulder than a U.S. military personel in those copters. I'm far from a U.S. general but if they f*ck up the Apache invasion they'll be completely lambasted in the media. They have trouble flying them over trees in Tirana at night without one of them going down... wait till there are a few stingers chasing them down and their in the mountains at night.
