>What in the world happened? There are several possible explanations.
* NATO's leaders, particularly Clinton and Blair, and also the Brussels bureaucracy felt
themselves under tremendous pressure to produce what appeared to be a victory. They
tried to "spin" the G-8 into a Serbian surrender for domestic political purposes, either
unaware of the consequences in Belgrade and Moscow or convinced that they could get
Serb acceptance of NATO's reinterpretation of G-8. They stole Milosevic's covers for
their own use, gambling that he was too badly beaten to reverse course.

I think this is what probably happened...What pissed the Serbs off the most was when a map of Kosovo was produced with 5 nicely carved out sections for US, Britain, Germany, France and Italy. No Russians anywhere and not even a mention of UN.........

Another miscalculation blunder by these idiots hell bent on making this mess even more tragic!!!
