Serbs really want West and North Kosovo
The likely outcome is a partition once the fighting stops, with Serbs taking the West and North. However, NATO is fighting for the unity of Kosovo which is like trying to go back to a 1948 definition of Palestine.

Serbs will never give KOSOVO up.

They did before for 600 years -- to the Turks at that!

defeat them with a large number of ground troops

As a retired general pointed out last night, the serb is a poor fighter. Nazi panzers overran Serbia in no time with total casualties of 154 men. He also pointed out that we have a greater technological advantage over the serbs than Nazis did in 1940s. The reason Tito was able to hold on against the Nazis was because of intense US aid. No one will supply to MilosWitch Slob now...
