The date on that is April 3. I reckon that someone believed an April fool story and published it 2 days later. Surely?

Weather, Weapons Dearth Slow NATO Strikes << Some U.S. Air Force officials are concerned about the lack of intensity in the NATO attacks. "This is not Instant Thunder, it's more like Constant Drizzle," an Air Force official said. "In Desert Storm we were flying 1,600 sorties a day. We're only flying 150 a day over Yugoslavia. That's not how airpower should be used to be decisive." NATO should expand fighter operations to at least four bases in Germany and Italy to remove the limits on how many strikes can be launched, he contends. >> << "Meanwhile, the Air Force only has about two weeks' worth of cruise missiles if they are fired at the rate of 12 per day." Once they are gone, the U.S. will have to rely on laser-guided bombs in good weather and dumb bombs when it is cloudy. >> awgnet.com Hmmm ... Looks like they have more empty buildings than the US has guided weapons.
