Kosovo alone has the richest mineral resources in all of Europe west of Russia
Oil access.Total proven oil reserves for the area are 335 million barrels, all in Croatia, Yugoslavia, and Albania. http://www.eia.doe.gov/cabs/balkans.html.Not the Richest at all is it?UK has far more than that in the Irish Sea alone!
We have all been told that before the bombing began, all the diplomatic efforts did not yield
any silver linings. What has not been mentioned in much detail is that Milosevic in fact did
suggest that he would consider a UN or other, non-NATO force, but for the US, this was not
the silver-lining that the US wanted

A fair description of the chances the US & Un gave Serbia
Destruction of infrastructure?(Apart from that in a 5 layered attack doctrine,when groundpounders are going to go in the targeting of infrastructure is a neccesity)...read CSIS PDF file "effectiveness of NATO AIR AND MISSILE CAMPAIGN)Just do a search for it on their site.It kind of blows your comments into a cocked hat.
Largest base since Viet nam?
Yokosuka-Japan 26,000 personell,Kuwait 4600,KFOR 4,500 and reducing.(IISS"the military balance"Just a pack of lies your source eh!)
Now Ive answered those comments (again)Answer my Questions.
Lets say for example the following happens.
The British Army goes through the catholic Areas of northen Ireland Raping, Burning Houses and shooting all Males from 14-65.Then nick off with their tellys.
The US and UN tell the brits to stop.But they carry on Defiantly,thousands of innocents are displaced and dying.The Brits say they are after the IRA.the world dosnt beleive them.Action is needed,and Fast.
So an ultimatum is delivered.
The Alternertive to this is Genocide for the catholics.
NATO starts a precision bombing campaign taking out London Bridge,and AAA units of the British Army.The army responds by Quadrupling its efforts at Murder.
Nato are then blamed for the increase in murder.
Logical?
What would your reaction have been if NATO had done nothing.the Kosovars would now be all displaced to Albania or theiy would have died.Returning Kosovars after the war found Serb familys had moved in from serbia proper into their homes.Reaction to this?
I would be interested,as i think has been previously mentioned ,why is a devout socialist and defender of the meek like yourself has jumped on Slobbys Nationalistic bandwagon? |
