Ex 42 was just looking for a quick war right before the NATO anniversary celebration in DC. He thought he would be hailed as the great leader of NATO.
The Serbs just didn't give up as easily at he thought they would. The leftest press had a lot to do with it also, making it seem that ethnic-cleansing was going on in Kosovo. In reality, most of the fleeing took place in response to our bombing.
What I could never figure was Albright's hatred of the Serbs. Any ideas on that?
Don't know if you heard the Albright story, but her father apparently was an ambassador in Czechoslovakia (I think) as WW2 erupted. Being Jewish, the family fled the German occupation. And you know where they fled to for sanctuary? To Serbia! How nicely she repaid the Serbs, eh? Anyway, I read an interesting story a while back about how, as a girl in Serbia, Mad Maddie supposedly had a Serbian boyfriend who ended up jilting her, and they were speculating that was the source of her "Serb-o-phobia". Not sure if it's true, but it was an interesting story.
