The writer rather neatly avoids the main issue:
Namely, that the entire raison d'être for the operation was false, that is to save the Kosovar Albanians from extinction. Subsequent events have shown the reasonable portion of the world that it was the Kosovar Albanians who were doing most of the extincting. It's not always easy to make the Serbs look good, but the Kosovar Albananians and their KLA certainly did.

So, not only did we intervene where we should not have, subsequent events may well prove that we intervened on the wrong side.

Ahem.

In the event of conflict in Kosovo caused by Serbian action, the U.S. will be prepared to employ military force against Serbians in Kosovo and in Serbia proper.

The facts speak for themselves, regardless of how folks like you try to misrepresent them. The exhumations at Batajnica, where the Serbs attempted to hide hundreds of their victims from Kosovo in a clandestine mass graves, made nonsense of your argument about 6 years ago - Kosovo was simply a repeat of the same Serbian actions in the RSK and RS which we had let the Serbs know were completely unacceptable, in no uncertain terms.
