This is not a war. Please don't call it a war. Only Congress can declare war, so this is only 'A Crisis', or at worst 'A Conflict'. Of course we were warned by the Founding Fathers, (they must be disgusted with us), not to get entangled in foreign obligations. Even though they were extreme right wing conspiracy fanatics, they were brilliant men all. I imagine Slobbo has all his rocket launchers positioned in just the right strategic places; waiting to get those Apaches in the crosshairs. The Road to Kosovo will not be an easy one either. First, there will be land mines, lotsa lotsa land mines to make the goin slow. From what I understand, there are not enough staging areas or approaches to mount an offensive from Albania, and other countries that would be logistically feasible, refuse to cooperate. All of this so the US and Nato don't lose face. It is tragic. Slobbo has achieved almost all of his objectives, and is actively pursuing the remaining, like spreading 'The Conflict' by destabilizing and shelling his neighbors. We have achieved nothing in Kosovo, in fact, we are further than when this madness started. Our military is the best and the brighest, and will do what is asked brilliantly. But they shouldn't be put in harms way so some bureaucrats in D.C. and Brussels can save face. When two elephants fight, the grass gets trampled. CG
