Paul the retired General you refer too -- is the same idiot who advocated NATO ground forces from Hungary to take Belgrade. And he got it wrong -- the Nazi's cut through Croatia fast as Croatia and the Muslims joined with Hitler -- the Serbs were the only ones to resist Hitler. And just to make my point -- IF NATO casualty estimates were 154 dead for an all out ground troop assault that would end this mess -- THEY WOULD HAVE DONE IT. The problem is their estimates run 100 times that -- which is why they haven't done it and why your arm chair general gets to yap on TV. I think we could solve the whole thing if we let you and your retired general and nihil take control of the NATO operation.

No one will supply to MilosWitch Slob now... The Russians will. They probably already are via clandestine means. This thing could really get ugly if the Russians get involved.

>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... Poor fighter...I doubt it. Remember their strength comes from their guerilla tactics (multiply the effectiveness of the Afgahn mujahedins by 10). If ground troops come in, they will retreat to the mountains and then pick us apart on a continous flow of bodybags...can you say Vietnam...that is why I believe there will be no ground troops there. Then again I thought there will be no bombing, who knows what the future holds?
