"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!

During the 2000 Presidential Debates, GWB stated that our policy in Kosovo was something with which he agreed whole-heartedly with Clinton. I decided right then and there that I would not vote for GWB, as he was no better than a Dem. He tried to warn us of the shakiness of his "conservative" credentials way back then, but so many conservative voters just refused to believe it. Today, there are still a handful of die-hards that refuse to believe it.

By the way, Kosovo all by itself should prove to anyone, even without the results in Iraq, that our government is not serious about stopping the spread of Islam, and is not fighting a war against the people that attacked us on 9/11.

Only one candidate for president today agrees that we should not be involved in pushing Islamism on the Balkans, and that is Ron Paul. That's just the facts, man!
