NATO is on the line now, and neither of us wants to see the operation end ignominiously, now that it is begun. The question now is: what are the prospects of terminating the operation with some semblance of dignity...

That's the same boneheaded logic that kept the Vietnam war going for years after it was obviously a lost cause.

Anyone loyal to the United States and concerned with the future of NATO should hope that there is such a resolution, which is why it fries his ass, so to speak, when posters seem to be against the interests of the United States...

I see an upside to NATO losing. It will save lives in the long run, by discouraging this kind of dangerous, idiotic intervention in the future.

On the contrary, anyone LOYAL to the interests of the U.S. and other NATO nations should be opposed to this inappropriate and incompetent use of force. You and Nuke have it completely ass backwards as ususal. Also you said :

"The question now is: what are the prospects of terminating the operation with some semblance of dignity...Anyone loyal to the United States and concerned with the future of NATO should hope that there is such a resolution, which is why it fries his ass, so to speak, when posters seem to be against the interests of the United States."

Let me tell you its the narrow views that yourself and Nuke have that FRY my ass. Your telling me now that this isn't about the Kosovo Albanians but saving NATO face ? We're now bombing a nation into oblivion to show how tough we are ? We're risking a wider war, return of the cold war, spending $billions, and risker the lives of our people ?
