Er.... I hate to tell you, but the Balkans belongs to EUCOM

Zinni was the commander of CENTCOM

Zinni had no responsibility for any operation in the Balkans

Sorry

Thanks for pointing that out, but I found something even more damning to your hero.

Err.. sorry, but here is a bit of a Q & A from General Zinni's briefing after the ludicrously named and executed Operation Desert Fox (1998) that he carried out in Iraq:

Q: There were quite a few of the targets that were still empty
buildings.

A: If I had to give you a number I would say that there was something
in all the buildings. Obviously they prioritized what they had to get
out. I would say in half the buildings they either didn't get it out,
or they didn't get enough out of what we would consider the critical
pieces of equipment.

I think I mentioned before, you can look at this in whole numbers. I
mean I can tell you we had 100 targets, and I can tell you, take the
WMD, the command and control, the most significant targets. We struck
and damaged significantly 85 percent of those. But what does that
mean?

***Oh, so Our Heroes Zinni and Clinton in their four day bombing farce knocked out 85% of Saddam's WMD.
Zinni sure as Hell knows a thing about con jobs. He should go slink off to the hole he crawled out from under and never come out.
