That was a great article, thanks for the link. Meanwhile we get to show off some of our missiles to future buyers and sending a msg "don't f*** with us, we are serious". Gore gets on CNN, gives us the same line, Milosevic is an evil dictator (what is this with the US personalizing/demonizing people we don't like), Serbs with masks executing men (heck I see lots of men in the camps), we bomb empty buildings next to hospitals. The funny thing is that these bozos probably think that they are causing the Serb public to turn against their leader...another miscalculation blunder. I think this is getting worse by the hour folks...

Clinton credibility down from 60% to 54% gallup.com CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll finds little change in public support for the United States' role in the NATO military offensive in Yugoslavia, compared to when the air and missile strikes began one week ago. Fifty-three percent of those polled the nights of March 30 and 31 favor U.S. involvement in the mission aimed at ending alleged Serb oppression of ethnic Albanians in the Yugoslavian province of Kosovo, up just slightly from 50% in a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll taken the night of March 25. There are a few new indications that Americans are growing cynical about the effectiveness of an air war in Yugoslavia. In particular, there has been a drop in public confidence that the U.S. can accomplish its objectives through NATO air attacks, from 44% last week to 41% today. At the same time, there has been an eight-point rise in the percentage who would favor sending in U.S. ground troops if the air and missile strikes alone prove ineffective, from 31% last week to 39% today. Just as the public seems split over the effectiveness of the current air attacks, it is divided in its evaluation of the Clinton Administration's foreign policy leadership on this issue. Forty-six percent believe the Administration's objectives in the Kosovo situation are clear, while 47% disagree.
