jlallen,

Well...the endgame is almost here. This should get
real interesting. If Bubba Clinton wants to win,
he needs a ground invasion and it must go well. Yet,
given his liberal tendencies to liquidate the military
budget, it might not be possible without the reinstate-
ment of the draft and massive military spending. I
doubt that this air war can achieve the stated objective
of removing the JNA from Kosovo and repaitriating the
Muslims. Furthermore, given the KLA's stance of wanting
to pay the Serbs back by ethnically cleansing Kosovo
of the 200,000 Serbs and the fact that they have been
killing off the moderates in the KLA, this civil war
is going to go on for years. Clinton/NATO simply
cannot win without a massive ground invasion and a
hugh stabilization force of tens of thousands of troops
in place for the next decade. Its a debacle, no matter
how you look at it.
