Re: [CTRL] Is this the beginning of the ground war?
-Caveat Lector- Correct. The huge gray dock landing ships, their mantis-like aft docks furled, now sit steel upon the Chesapeake. An 'unusual' amount of small landing craft, of the Private Ryan type, both infantry and armor, are being loaded at the Amphib base. The sixteen thousand mentioned is near division strength. Safire calls for three armored divisions. No general in his right mind would place three armored divisions there without the very least of one infantry division each for protection. Six times 20,000 is a 120,000 ground force. It will build gradually of course.

US Pentagon Spokesman Ken Bacon said the Serbs "had to have known" the building which the Kosovo Albanians slept next to was a military target because NATO had hit many similar installations over the last seven weeks. "It certainly looks like this was arranged to make them human shields but we cannot confirm this," he said. Yugoslav Foreign Ministry spokesman Milisav Paic has dismissed this suggestion as "crazy". "There is no doubt it was NATO who carried out the raids against civilians and they cannot just simply try to get rid of any responsibility," he told the BBC... The Hell they can't, just listen to them! Which brings us back to that classic analysis of Cold War doctrine, "Dr. Strangelove." You recall the scene down in the War
