If you're frighten, a change of underwear is in order. When I mentioned Saudi Arabia, I meant all the underground and above ground bases and arms depots built in the 10 years preceding the Gulf War. As for GPS and "smart" bombs, it still did not prevent the bombing of civilian population and the Chinese Embassy. By the way, the Italian Embassy in Belgrade and the Greek Consulate have also been slightly damaged. THE FINANCIAL TIMES reported a few days ago that French troops were attacked with grenades and anti-tank rockets in Macedonia. NATO troops cannot move without secure jump points and logistics. The carriers are not enough. Ciao, CA

Ron, Re:The key will be holding the territory and preventing guerilla attacks. Hopefully, an international force will prevent that from becoming a major issue. But it's an unknown. How about the following ''division of labor'' resulting from a ground intervention: NATO troops will storm Kosovo's main cities and hold them, guarding them against any ground retaliation by the Serb (para-)military. Such a strategy will allow NATO to broadcast images of Kosovars coming back in their hometowns, outmaneuvering the current anti-NATO propaganda in the media... This would be Operation Allied Sanctuary. Apache helicopters could provide enough air support to shelter the main highways from Serbian hints of threat. Then, there's the guerilla warfare by the Serbian regular military along with paramilitary and mercenary troops: the toll might be too heavy to carry by the US if they were to send in US marines to skulk in the Kosovo bush... So, here the KLA militia go in action: once equipped with the proper guerilla gear, their job will be to carry out a counter-harassing campaign in the field where they have a home-ground advantage over US soldiers. Makes sense to you, Col. Reece?
