#1 Expected rantings from the 'honey bear'. NATO has taken the first prudent steps by blocking and guarding the Kosovo borders to Serbia against any prelude to invasion. My question thus: Where in the hell is the 'George Washington' of Kosovo, and to lead his team of rag tag patriots? With reports of a two million population estimate, and assuming 50% of that number is male; and 50% of that number is old enough to handle a rifle, mortar or stinger missile launcher...that leaves atleast 250,000 abled bodied troops to defend the birth of the motherland...Where are they?????

Even assuming the population number is right (I have no idea), it's doubtful 50% are male, due to the previous war, smn.

The women could step up, of course - I would, if I were so threatened, and I know a lot of other women who would too, starting right here in the 'Burg.

More likely, though, since they're 'Yurpeans, they're all expecting ~~some Big Daddy~~ somebody else to do it - the EU or the UN. (They obviously havn't been paying attention.)

And what's this "if Nato exceeds its mandate set by the UN" shit, Mr. Bear? I wasn't aware the Useless Nitwits had anything to do with NATO or its "mandate," which if I remember correctly is keeping your grimy paws off of Western Europe.

#5 Serbia does a great "Let's you and him fight" act. Worked well in WWI.

#7 We are, and have been, on the wrong side of this. Kosovo is an inherent part of Serbia, and the Serbs will not stand for it being separated. Civil war and a continuation of the conflict will grow to palestinian proportions, and we (the US) caused this thanks to madeline halfbright and the clinton foreign policy of clueless jiggering in affairs not our own....

#8 There is no right side of this, only wrong sides. That is why we should have and should now stay out. We simply do not have a dog in this fight. It's red on red.
