> Still refugees, that's what." Well, that's what it looks like to me

> Initially Clinton and Blair had demanded the virtual surrender of

> its personnel were to "be immune from all legal process, whether

> After 71 days of bombing, Serbia promises to withdraw troops but (and
> this is a big but) NATO will not control the province or have access
> to Serbia willy-nilly. The Province will be 'controlled' by a
> multinational peacekeeping force, a member of which will be Russia. So
> Russian troops, which are Serbia's de facto allies, will be helping to
> maintain order in Kosovo. In other words, what were once considered
> essential parts of NATO's demands have now been abandoned. In the
> meantime, the presence of Russian troops will reinforce Moscow's
> influence in the region. And make no mistake about it — the Russians
> will play the Orthodox card for all its worth. No wonder Clinton's not
> smiling.

> Another thing that is lurking at the bottom of his sewer-like mind is
> the cost of the war, including rebuilding Serbia and Kosovo. Estimates
> put this well in excess of $30 billion dollars. And why? Because
> little Miss Triggerhappy Albright convinced the Artful Draft-Dodger

> The region has been a political blight on Europe's underbelly for

> In the meantime, expect John Doe to pick up the tab.

> I would like to end with a comment on Blair's mates. The rabid Robin
> Cook, Britain's Foreign Secretary, is screaming for Milosevic's head.
> The same Cook that had Pinochet arrested but refused to support the

On another wavebeam: Is there a possible mad-cow disease (as
transmitted to humans) tie-in? Who's watching the Cook?
