#1 WTF? Since when is the deteriorating situation in Kosovo the fault of the US? Cripes, the only reason it's had any stability at all is the presence of US troops.

#2 It's Holbrooke and WaPo, of course. I edited out some of the Holbrooke nonsense to shorten the article (a little). But he's in classic form -- everything was great when he was in charge of our foreign policy, and everything has gone to hell since.

#5 I firmly believe that LLL suffer from ADD and can't keep their eye on the ball. Kosovo is a shithole BECAUSE we let the un take over administration. I don;t even think the U.S. has any sizable force near Kosovo, it's a un/eu affair.

#6 WTF??????

"...which is still administered by the United Nations..."

Why the *&^% do we have to bail this pile of ignorant, criminal pig swill out AGAIN??????

Let's see less of that good old unilateralist US and more of that resurgant wonderful soft-power from the EU and friends.

I am SO sick of this!!!!!!

#8 Wave 'bye' at the pier? I'm all for the 'leaving a note on the dresser' myself.

#11 I would leave a note that said, "Hate Oz, Hate you, took the ruby shoes and am headed back to Kansas. Cya!"

#12 Holbrooke promotes Kosovo like David Essex promotes Rock On.

#13 I still don't understand why we got involved in Kosovo (or Bosnia). We got the entire Eastern Orthodox world pissed off at us and are getting the blame for the hash that the UN has made of the aftermath. One thing you gotta say about Clinton - just about every foreign policy undertaking he put together was a net negative for Uncle Sam, from Mogadishu right up to the Oslo Accords.
