U. S. Pullout from Balkans?
2004-07-23
From Strategy Page. No confirmation at Google News search.

Without much publicity, the U.S. is pulling its peacekeepers out of the Balkans.

#9  Pullout, indeed! I always said we screwed 'em when we supported the wrong side there..

#8  I sincerely hope this is true!

Euros - clean up your own back yard. The free ride is over.

Oh - before we leave, we need to arm the Christians. (And any Jews still left there, which I doubt.)

#6  How reliable is Strategy Page?

Supremely. James Dunnigan is a highly-respected military analyst, the author of several good books on military affairs, and one of the founders of SPI, the greatest wargame publisher that ever lived.

#5  Excellent news, if true!
(We were on the wrong side anyway, that of the Islamist terrorists.)

#2  Right. The Europeans can use this as a (second) attempt to prove how sole reliance on diplomatic finesse to solve conflicts won't leave in its wake a bunch of dead people. I actually hope they succeed at it, but have little reason to believe they will.

#1  If true, fantastic! Europe needs to handle this problem; after all, it's in their backyard.
