why the Bush administration still has our troops on the ground in Bosnia and Kosovo propping up regimes that are tacitly supporting the creation of units such as those described in the article?

First, the "regime" in Bosnia is exactly who found and arrested the terrorists. They are also the same regime who has sent soldiers to serve alongside us in Iraq. Second, we only have about 220 soldiers left in Bosnia, brought down from a high of 30,000 ten years ago. The EU runs the international force now in Bosnia and the Americans are under a small NATO element that is training the Bosnian military and assisting in counter-terrrorism nd tracking down the remaining war criminals. President Bush's Balkans policy has been a success in terms of drawing down U.S. forces, maintaining stability in the region, and increased cooperation in the war on terror. That's probably why you don't hear much about it.

Great. If Bush was President during the '90s, odds are there probably wouldn't have been any of all that fratricidal war crap.
