This is one the issue that Russia is actually right on, although I don't doubt the Russians have interests have far different than ours in this matter.

Still, it kind of proves the old adage that even a broken clock is right twice a day.

"This is one the issue that Russia is actually right on, although I don't doubt the Russians have interests have far different than ours in this matter. Still, it kind of proves the old adage that even a broken clock is right twice a day."

That is because we made this so easy for the Russians. The Russians just waited until we screwed up six ways from Sunday, dug in defending it, and then they shined a spotlight on it.

Ironically, all that the Bush Administration has to do to get us out of this, is reevaluate our Clintonian position --which he should have done in the first place. But instead Bush is arrogantly trying to pretend that "Kosovo independence is the right thing to do". It's like we would rather shoot ourselves in the foot than admit that the US once screwed up and long run, lots of people-- including our guys-- are going to die over this if Bush doesn't wake up!
