>>"You don't think they are doing a rope-a-dope do you?"<< I think that is exactly what they are doing. They are husbanding their hardware until they absolutely need to use it. I would also not be a bit surprised if the Apache gun ships come face to face with Serb tanks that have 20 Kosovars chained to each one. Blow the tank and take out 20 Albanians. If I were the Serbs, facing overwhelming NATO military power, that is exactly what I would do. This will come as no surprise to Christopher Hodgkins because he already knows that I am insensitive and don't have a heart. Jim

>What military strategy do you think the Serbs will employ against the NATO forces and the arrival of the 2,000 Americans and the HELLicoptors? They are now being placed in teams of three or four all around wester n Kosovo near the border of Albania in the mountains under heavy cover with a very large amount of supplies of food and water along with enough weapons to wreak havoc to NATO (US) helicopters...What greater honor for them to be able to be photographed next to the downed Apaches!... >I don't understand why they have not vigorously fought back against NATO air attacks. I am sure this is driving the NATo planners quite mad too...Oh I forgot this was also anticipated... >Don't they have a fairly sophisticated air defense system? Yes I believe, and this has been the consensus. Oh maybe not... who knows...oh this is confusing to us...just imagine to the pilot flying over Yugoslavia right now. >If NATO starts picking off tanks and troops like flies, I think the Serbs would eventually back off, but many seem to think they will never give up. I am afraid that the Serbs will be doing the picking if ground troops and low flying aircraft goes there...I think, so far, they know that comitting ground troops will be a bloodbath that will forever be compared to Vietnam...oops sorry maybe I exaggerated here...but seriously that's the only good decision policy that they have made so far. I am convinced now that they totally underestimated and miscalculated this whole thing from day one....and they are making it up as they go along...or, as Clinton put it, they are pursuing the bombing option, the best out of many bad options...LOL >Anyone know what the Serbs are planning against NATO?
